Answer: it is a cation (a positively charged ion). its charge is (+). It will have one positive charge.

Explanation: Ions are charged atoms. Ions can be positively charged or negatively charged. A positively charged ion is called a cation while a negatively charged ion is called an anion. Cation is formed when an atom loses one or more electrons while an anion is formed when an atom gains one or more electrons. Normally, an atom has no charge that is, it is neutral because an atom always have equal number of protons and electrons. Protons have positive charge while electrons have negative charge. For instance when atom which have 8 electrons and 8 protons loses one electron, it will then have 7 electrons and 8 protons, thereby making the atom to have a positive (+) charge.

<span>The correct answers are that it lacks cells, DNA, and cannot maintain homeostasis. It doesn't have any organic matter and homeostasis is impossible because it would turn off eventually. It doens't have DNA and it doesn't reproduce. It's just plasma and it is not a living being, it just moves because of the chemical reactions that occur. </span>

Design a laboratory-based experiment to test the hypothesis that algae need light to grow.
Shalnov [3]

The same algae is subjected to conditions in which one is exposed to light and another is not exposed to light while the nutrients in the both systems are kept the same.

<h3>What is algae growth?</h3>

The growth of algae is the process by which the organism increases in size. Now we know that that the algae is photosynthetic hence light must be required for its growth.

In order to verify this, the same algae is subjected to conditions in which one is exposed to light and another is not exposed to light while the nutrients in the both systems are kept the same.

The results of this experiment must confirm that the algae exposed to light grows better than the algae that was not exposed to light.
