An atom that has fewer neutrons than protons and more electrons than protons is a(n) ion.

Biology

Elden [556K]3 years ago
6 0

The right answer is Negative (anion).

Anion is an ion that, having gained one or more electron (s), carries one or more negative electric charge (s), (since the number of negative charge (electrons) is greater than the number of charges positive (protons)): for example, the Cl- chloride ion is the chlorine atom that has gained an electron. Conversely, a cation contains fewer electrons than protons.

It is so called because during an electrolysis, this ion is attracted by the positive electrode called anode, in the same way that the poles of opposite charges of the magnets attract.

This is a molecule of glucose, a simple carbohydrate. If this molecule were broken down, would it provide all of the elements ne
xeze [42]

Answer:

No, it wouldn't provide all the elements needed to assemble lipids, nucleic acids or proteins.

Explanation:

As it can be seen from the diagram, the breakdown of glucose molecules will release hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. All these elements are needed to make lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. But apart from these elements, other elements are also required for the making of these compounds. For example, nucleic acid would require the elements nitrogen and phosphorus apart from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen for its making. Proteins would need nitrogen, sulphur and selenium apart from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

I hope this works

If there is a mutation in a zygote, where is it likely to be found in the fetus?
lisabon 2012 [21]
The correct answer is C.
The zygote is a single fertilized egg cell that the embryo develops from.
This one cell possesses one copy of DNA that is going to be passed to all other cells in the embryo because all other cells of the embryo develop through mitotic divisions of the zygote.
Therefore, if a mutation happens in the zygote DNA, all of the cells in the embryo are going to have it as well.
