Not to be too picky, but the question ought to say a positively charge ion rather than atom.

I will assume that is what you mean. An ion, using ordinary means, will be positive if it loses electrons (which are negative).

An ion can never gain protons. Left alone, the nucleus will remain unchanged for the rest of eternity. D is wrong.

C is wrong. If electrons are gained, the ion will go negative.

B is wrong for the same reason D is. An ion can't gain protons and it can't lose them.

A is the answer.

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Protein

Explanation:

  • An enzyme is a biocatalyst that plays an important role in increasing the speed of the chemical reactions that occurs in the body.
  • If the enzyme is catalyzing a reaction where the product is broken down into amino acids, then this reaction is a type of decomposition reaction.
  • In a decomposition reaction, a substrate is broken down into the products that constituted it.
  • Since amino acids join to form a protein thus, the molecule that is being broken down in the reaction must be a protein.

Plate a and plate b are both continental plates what is the most likely result if the two plates collide
kaheart [24]
It depends what kind they are. Continental or oceanic, so if its those ones then the oceanic plat will most likely go under the continental so a subduction fault would occur but if its 2 oceanics or continentals then one would probably snap from the pressure or they will both go upwards creating a mountain range. I hope this helps
