Potassium has an atomic number of 19. What is its electron configuration?

Biology
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

shells 1, 2 and 3 are full and shell 4 has one electron

Explanation:

The distribution fo the electrons possessed by an atom in the shells surrounding it is termed as its electronic configuration.

According to the rules of writing the electronic configuration:

1. The first shell can be occupied by a maximum of two electrons.

2. the subsequent shells can be occupied by a maximum of 8 electrons.

3. the subsequent shells are filled only once the lower shells have been filled.

Based on these rules, the electronic configuration of potassium should be 2, 8, 8, 1. (2+8+8+1 = 19).

Thus, we can see that the first three shells are filled, and the last one has one electron left.

explain why a continuous increase in carbon dioxide levels will not cause the rate of photosynthesis to increase continuously?​
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

An increase in the amount of CO2 well increase the rate of photosynthesis, Carbon dioxide concentration will directly affect the rate of photosynthesis as it is used in the photosynthesis reaction.Increased amount of CO2 will increase the rate of photosynthesis to a certain limit, after which a further increase in its amount will no longer increase the rate any further. This is when the other factors necessary for photosynthesis, such as light, become "limiting reactants"; that is, those other factors also need to increase to bring about a further increase in the rate.

six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of sugar plus six molecules of oxygen

An increase in the amount of water leads to the increase in the amount of photosynthesis

The amount of water available to the plant will affect the rate of photosynthesis. If the plant does not have enough water, the plant's stomata will shut and the plant will be deprived of CO², and thus lower photosynthesis rate.

An increase in the amount of light well increase the amount of photosynthesis, if the light intensity increases the rate of the reaction will increase at a proportional rate until a certain level is reached, the rate of increases will then go down.

Other factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis :

1. Temperature

2. The availability of nutrients

Genetically modified (GM) foods are the ones came from organisms whose genetic material (DNA) are altered as they do not occur naturally. Food shortage, cost, variety can make people support the GM foods, while, religious beliefs, allergy, and worrying about the food can limit the support for these foods.

<h3>What are the characteristics of GM foods?</h3>

Genetically modified (GM) foods are those derived from organisms the ones genetic material (DNA) has been altered as they do not occur naturally.

Its characteristics are:

  • More nutritious food.
  • Less use of pesticides.
  • Faster growing plants and animals.
  • Disease- and drought-resistant plants.

As food shortage, cost, variety can make people support the GM foods, while, religious beliefs, allergy, and worrying about the food can limit the support for these foods.

Thus, the correct option is A.
