Answer:

B. 26amu

Explanation:

The nucleus of an atom in an element contains protons, electrons and neutrons. The proton number equals the electron number in a neutral atom. The proton number is also called the atomic number, denoted by Z.

The mass number also called Atomic mass unit (amu) in this case, of an element is the sum of the proton number and the neutron number in the atom of that element. The mass number is denoted by A.

Hence, A = Z + N

Where A = Mass number

Z = Proton (atomic number)

N = Neutron number

In this question, N is 11 while Z is 15

Hence, the mass number of the element in the question, in AMU, is 15 + 11 = 26amu.

sergey [27]

Answer:

Shark skin has been used by many cultures as sandpaper. It's kept shipmates safe in slippery-when-wet conditions. Swimsuits modeled on shark skin are said by Speedo to reduce drag by up to 4 percent. Now, research by two separate groups could lead to synthetic shark skin that would make ships and submarines faster and less expensive to operate.

In ponds where it lives, the northern leopard frog is probably a significant indicator of the water's quality. This species is an essential component of the food chain, and tadpoles, which are the main eaters of algae in ponds, can have a big impact.

<h3>What distinguishes tree frogs from other frog species?</h3>

These frogs are most easily recognized by their feet, which have claw-shaped toe bones as their last bone. They can also climb trees thanks to toe pads with small suction cups and extraskeletal structures on their toes. They are available in a number of hues, the most popular being green, gray, or brown.

What is the role of carbon storage in organisms?? Plz answer fast in paragraph form if possible
belka [17]
Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned. When humans burn fossil fuels to power factories, power plants, cars and trucks, most of the carbon quickly enters the atmosphere as carbon dioxide gas.
