What is the mass of an element with 15 protons, 13 electrons, and 11 neutrons?

Biology

RSB [31]3 years ago
8 0

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.

_________ is used by ecologists to describe the community interaction where one organism makes the environment more suitable for
Blizzard [7]

Options for the question have not been given. They are as follows:

A) parasitism

B) mutualism

C) inhibition

D) facilitation

E) commensalism

Answer:

D) facilitation

Explanation:

In ecology, facilitation is used to describe community interaction between two species in which at least one of the species is benefited. One species "facilitates" survival of another species and hence the term facilitation. They can provide facilitation by providing them refuge from predation, competition, physical stress etc.

Facilitation is broadly of two types, mutualism and commensalism. In mutualism, both the interacting organisms are benefited. In commensalism, one organism is benefited and another one is neither benefited nor harmed.

What is meant by the statement "Evolution may proceed along 'genetic lines of least resistance'"?
Ivan

Answer:

C. Characters with little genetic variation will constrain the rate of natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection can have an effect only as long as there are variations on characters on which it can select upon. Genetic variation is independent of the environment or the needs that a species may have to become better adapted to its changing environment. In other words, genetic mutations are the raw material on which natural selection can work. If there is a low rate for mutations to occur, then natural selection will proceed at a slow pace. The opposite is also true. Since mutation rate may be more frequent at some locations in a gene than at others, it can be predicted that the characters coded in that gene location will be more likely to be affected by natural selection and therefore what phenotype may be molded by natural selection.
