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.

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Changes in genetic makeup occurs with the passage of time.

Explanation:

Antibiotic cause mutation in the bacteria which allowed to develop resistance in the bacteria. This resistance and change in the genetic makeup obeys the theory of evolution which states that all species are changed gradually with the passage of time. The genetic makeup of bacteria also changes with the passage of time and attain resistance due to regular application of antibiotics so due to this resistance, the antibiotic can't work on the bacteria.

Why is the aplysia such a popular animal for single-cell studies of learning?
Feliz [49]

<span>Aplysia is a marine gastropod mollusc which is an often used model organism in neuroscience, especially on the cellular biology of learning and memory. What makes them easy to work with are their giant neurons, which are one of the largest. Aplysia neurons are suitable for studies of how neurons and neural circuits control behaviours. Its defensive reflex has been studied because it is mediated by electrical synapses, which allow several neurons to fire synchronously.</span>
