8 0

Explanation:

Valence electrons are the electrons which are present in the outer most shell of an atom or element.

Since both potassium and sodium are same group elements and it is known that elements of same group contain same number of valence electrons.

For example, atomic number of potassium is 19 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 8, 1.

Hence, we can conclude that there is one valence electron present in valence shell of potassium atom.

Solnce55 [7]

There is absorption of carbon dioxide by the oceans through physicochemical (air-sea surface exchange) and biological processes. During physicochemical process, molecules of CO2 get into the ocean by diffusing into the sea surface waters and dissolving. Various factors such as wind, sea surface mixing, concentrations of CO2, and the temperature of the water influences the amount of CO2 that diffuses and dissolves in the ocean surface water. Also, during biological processes, dead cells, shells and other parts of dead organisms get decayed and releases carbon dioxide at the bottom of the water.

Scientists are testing substance L to determine how it enters mammalian cells in a culture. The cells maintain a 120 millimolar
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The substance L moves inside the cell through active transport.

Explanation:

Active transport can be described as the movement of substances from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration against the concentration gradient.

In the above question, The substance L enters the membrane despite the cell having a higher concentration of substance L. Hence, the mode of transportation is active transport as the substance L is moving from an area of lower concentration to higher concentration. This process usually consumes energy rather than releasing energy.
