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

Answer:

This structure provides support and protection for plant cells = Cell Wall

This is a large, central fluid-filled structure that provides turgidity = Vacuole

A thin semipermeable barrier around the cell which regulates what enters and leaves the cell = Cell membrane

The control center of the cell = Nucleus

It is often described as the cells Power Plant = Mitochondria

This is used by plant cells for photosynthesis = Chloroplast

Hope this helps :)

Plz mark Brainliest :D

Explanation:

The giant blue thing is the vacuole

The thin yellow line is the cell membrane

The yellow and orange ball is the nucleus

The light green thing with zig zag lines is the mitochondria
