Answer:

Phosphorus

Explanation:

Phosphorus is a vitally important element in the growth and health of plants and animals. As hydroxyapatite, phosphorus is an important constituent of teeth and bones. As adenosine triphosphate (ATP), or other organic phosphates, the element plays an indispensable role in biochemical processes. All biological mechanisms that use phosphorus use it in the form of orthophosphate or, alternatively, as polyphosphate, which, by hydrolysis, becomes orthophosphate. Examples of these processes are photosynthesis, fermentation, metabolism, etc.

In living animals, phosphorus is also a constituent element of nervous tissue as well as cellular protoplasm.

For this reason we can say that phosphorus is not an abundant nutrient but is essential for life. It is part of DNA and RNA and a component of bones and cell membranes.

Phosphorus. It's not abundant, but it's important. There are traces of it in our bones and in the "phospho-lipid bilayer" of the membrane.

Hope that helps!

Eduardwww [97]

An isotope of any element is the same, with a variation in the neutrons of the nucleus.

The mass number change but the atomic number doesn't.

In this case, protium, deuterium, and tritium are all hydrogen isotopes.

Protium is 1H or Hydrogen-1 is without neutrons.

Deuterium is 2H  or Hydrogen-2 has one neutron.

Tritium is 3H or Hydrogen-3 has two neutrons.

1. How are populations of chimpanzees affected by slash and burn agriculture? 2. Which features of chimpanzees make them more di
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

1. Slash and Burn agriculture refers to a technique of farming that requires plants in a forest or woodland to be decimated to create a cultivable expanse of land.

Some of these plants are usually homes to wild chimpanzees. The more they are cut down, the deeper into the forests they would migrate, that's if they ever find a place like it.  

2. When compared to the other primates such as monkeys, baboons, etc their larger body size, puts them at a disadvantage. This is because when they are placed in a restricted space, they need more food which in turn translates to increased height and weight.

Cheers!
