Can someone describe major subatomic particles that make up an atom

Biology
1 answer:
irinina [24]3 years ago
7 0
The main 3 subatomic particles that makes up an atom are protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Protons and neutrons exists inside the nucleus of the atom, while electrons moves freely outside the nucleus.

Protons are positive in charge, each element has their own specific number of protons, it's just like their ID number for the element, they cannot be changed.

Neutrons are neutral, just like as it name says. Usually they have the same number as the protons in most elements, but not all cases. Sometimes an element may even have a few different forms, called Isotopes specifically, where they have different number of protons for each isotope.

And electrons, are negative in charge. They're a lot more lighter comparing to neutrons and protons, therefore sometimes we neglect their mass in calculating maths. In an atom, the number of electrons must be the same as the number of protons, or else, the atom would no longer be an atom, but an ion instead.

Of the answer choices, what is the most likely reason that paracrine signaling does not activate the cell that is producing the
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is The cells do not have proper receptor.

Explanation:

During paracrine signaling a signaling molecules are generated from one cell.The generated signaling molecule then binds to the receptor of neighboring cell to carry specific signal from donor cell to the acceptor cell.

  But the signaling molecules will not bind to the cell that is producing it because that producing cell do not contain proper receptor to bind that signaling molecule.

 The binding of signaling molecule to the receptor of its producing cell occur during autocrine signaling.

What do the rib muscles and diaphragm have in common?
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Both are breathing muscles

Explanation:

When rib muscles and the diaphragm contract they increase the volume of the chest cavity, increasing the air pressure outside the body, causing air to rush into the lungs to fill the vacuum created by the increase in volume.
