The scientist will add up the mass of the protons and mass of the neutrons to come up with the approximate mass of atom because protons and neutrons is what consist of the atoms. Therefore, in order to have the approximate mass of an atom, adding the mass of protons and neutrons will give the result.

Answer:

Since he has not added the mass of electrons, one of the subatomic particles.

Explanation:

An atom is made of electrons, protons, and  neutrons. Electrons have negligible mass as compared to the masses of protons and neutrons. Being the major contributor to the mass of the atom, the total mass of protons and neutrons gives the approximate mass of atoms. The exact mass of atom would be sum total of the mass of electrons, protons, and neutrons.

What is the main difference between protein domains and protein subunits? Group of answer choices1. Protein domains do not have
shusha [124]

Answer: 2. Each subunit represents a separate polypeptide chain, while one polypeptide chain may contain several domains.

Explanation: Each subunit constitutes of one polypeptide chain. A polypeptide chain has one particular gene coding for it. thus it simply implies that a protein must have one gene for each subunit.

Many proteins is made up of different protein domains. A particular domain may appear in a variety of different proteins.

domains are stable on there own, they can be exchanged via genetic engineering between one protein and another.
