Answer:
Lead Pb
Explanation:
Firstly, we need to know what occurs when a radioisotope emits an alpha particle. An alpha particle is an helium atom. When an isotope emits an alpha particle, it loses an helium atom corresponding to subtracting 4 from its mass number and 2 from its atomic number. This of course coupled with the release of radiation.
Now, we polonium has a proton number of 84 and a mass number of 210. Subtracting 2 and 4 respectively from its proton and mass numbers will yield 82 and 206 proton and mass numbers respectively.
Hence, the decomposition of the Po-210 isotope will yield an element with 82 proton number and 206 mass number. This corresponds to the element Lead.
210Po ——> 206Pb + alpha particle + radiation
Answer:
Y: tRNA
Z: DNA
Explanation:
This question involves two different nucleic acid molecules that are involved in protein production. Xavier used a chart to highlight the functions these nucleic acids perform during protein synthesis.
- Transfer RNA known as tRNA is a type of RNA molecule found in the ribosomes. It functions to read the mRNA codon and carry corresponding amino acid to the ribosomes for linking with one another. Based on this, "Y" on the chart is a tRNA molecule.
- Deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as DNA, is a molecule found in the NUCLEUS whose function is to store the genetic information in the cell. DNA carries the information needed for the synthesis of protein. Based on this, Z is a DNA molecule.
