Sodium (Na) and potassium (K) are in the same group in the periodic table. Sodium is in the 11th position. How many valence elec

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.

Potassium is just below the sodium in periodic table in s group !

so the valence electron of sodium and potassium is same and that is 1 !

What is a ligand? what do ligands have to do with receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Volgvan
In biochemistry, aligand is a substance that forms a complex with a biomolecule to serve abiological purpose. In protein-ligandbinding, the ligand is usually a molecule which produces a signal by binding to a site on a target protein.

Receptor mediated endocytosis is an endocytotic mechanism in which specific molecules are ingested into the cell. The specificity results from a receptor-ligand interaction. Receptors on the plasma membrane of the target tissue will specifically bind to ligands on the outside of the cell. An endocytotic process occurs and the ligand is ingested.

A very well studied example of receptor mediated endocytosis involves the metabolism of cholesterol.

Approximately 40% of the energy stored in sugar molecules is converted into energy. What happens to the remaining 60%?
Vaselesa [24]
<h3>Answer</h3>

Approximately 40% of the energy stored in sugar molecules is converted into energy and the remaining 60% is wasted as heat energy.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Cellular respiration is the process which take place inside a living organism by which organic compounds, usually carbohydrates, are broken down releasing energy that is used to produce ATP molecules that supplies energy/power to cells.

<h3>Example of respiration</h3>

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —– enzymes & coenzymes ——> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Release of Energy (≤38 ATP) + Heat

So, 40% of the available energy of glucose is release as ATP and the remaining 60% is lost as heat and helps to generate your relatively high body temperature.

Explain how the water cycle works and describe how changes to the water cycle can impact the production of hydropower brainliest
maw [93]

Answer:

There are four main stages in the water cycle. They are evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection. Let's look at each of these stages. Evaporation: This is when warmth from the sun causes water from oceans, lakes, streams, ice and soils to rise into the air and turn into water vapour (gas).
