Biology
1 answer:
Reika [66]4 years ago
7 0

Answer:

B. A cation

Explanation:

An atom is the smallest indivisible component of a matter including an element. An atom contains three particles called SUBATOMIC PARTICLES (PROTON AND NEITRON in the nucleus and ELECTRON surrounding the nucleus). The proton is positively charged while the electron is negatively charged.

The number of protons and electrons determine whether an atom will be postively charged (cation) or negatively charged (anion). In this question, an atom with 9 protons and 8 electrons will be A CATION because the protons (9) are more than the electrons (8), hence, making it a positively charged atom (cation).

N.B: The cation atom will have a +1 charge

What do you think will happen to the ph and pco2 levels with hyperventilation?
umka2103 [35]

It will increase blood pH. This is because pCO2 also reduces. pCO2 is critical in the <span>maintenance of blood pH. Dissolved CO2 from respiring tissues dissolves in blood to form carbonic acid. The carbonic acid partially dissociated into H+ ions and its conjugate base (bicarbonate ions). Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the formation of carbonic acid (in tissues) and vice versa (in the lungs). In the lungs, the carbon dioxide is expelled.  </span>

In diabetic patients, what molecule is missing in the transport system
Oksanka [162]
The answer to this question would be: insulin

Insulin is a hormone that produced by the pancreas. Insulin makes sugar go inside cells. Sugar is the food for cells. Without insulin, the sugar can't enter the cell and the cell food is depleted. This will cause the body feel that the sugar is not enough and trying to increase the sugar concentration. This will result in the increases of blood sugar level.
