Prions are proteins with the ability to generate more prions by causing other proteins to misfold into a similar shape. Since pr

ions are proteins, they have a genetic sequence associated with them and their ability to create more prions allows them to reproduce. Why aren’t prions considered alive?

They're not made up of cells, and they don't have any kind of metabolism. Because they lack genetic material and a cellular structure, prions are less often grouped in with living things than viruses. ... What is the case for viruses being alive?

2MG+O2 ...........2MGO
Galina-37 [17]
Mg + 1/2 O2 → MgO

1 mol = 24 g of Mg

X mol = 12 g of Mg

x = 0.5 moles of Mg

Mg :MgO = 1:1 (coefficient from equations using mole ratio)

So

0.5 moles of MgO

1 mol MgO = (24+16) g = 40 g

0.5 moles of MgO = 0.5 × 40

= 20 g of MgO produced

7. The nuclear model and the solar system model both show atoms with electrons circling around
Keith_Richards [23]

These models are similar because "both the nuclear model and the solar system model have concept of nucleus, electron, positively charged nucleus at center and electrons orbiting around the nucleus".

<u>Explanation:</u>

The points which showcase similarities among both the atomic structure and the composition of the solar system are like the large percentage of the mass centered in the core which is the nucleus or the sun. Attractive forces bring the structure together by application of electromagnetic force or gravitational force.

The existence of the external objects influences the stable state of other surrounding objects as suggested by Pauli theory of exclusion and gravitational disturbance. Overall on the basis of the view only, in both the model their is similarity like atomic model speaks about electrons orbiting the nucleus similar to planets orbiting the sun.
