Calorie (cal) or small calorie, is the amount of energy needed to heat one gram of water by one degree Celsius.

One small calorie is approximately 4.2 joules.

A calorie is a unit of energy.

For example:

Q = 150000 J; released energy.

Convert Jules in calories:

Q = 150000 J ÷ 4.186 J/calorie.

Q = 35833.73 calorie.

The large calorie or nutritional calorie (symbols: Cal, kcal) is the heat energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogramof water by one degree Celsius.  

A nutritional calorie, or kilocalorie, is equal to 1000 calories.

One large calorie is 4.184 kilojoules: 1 Cal = 4.184 kJ.

For example:

E = 2500 Cal; energy burnt.

E = 2500 Cal · 4.184 kJ/Cal.

E = 10460 kJ.

Atomic number and the number of protons are the same...
Neutrons = Mass number - number of protons
Electrons are same # unless there is a charge 
The whole number you see on the periodic table is the atomic number of the element which is also same as the number of protons

1) carbon - 14  ;  Mass number = 14 , Protons = 6 , Neutrons = 14 - 6 = 8 
                                Electrons = 6 

2) Lead - 208  ; Mass # = 208 , Protons = 82 , Neutrons = 208 - 82 = 126
                          Electrons = 82

3) Uranium - 239 ; Mass # = 239  , Protons  =  92,Neutrons = 239 - 92 = 147
                                 Electrons =  92

4) Uranium - 238  ; Mass # = 238 , Protons = 92 , Neutrons = 238 - 92 = 146
                                   
Electrons = 92 

5) Tin - 118  ; Mass # = 118 , Protons = 50 , Neutrons = 118 - 50 = 68
                         Electrons = 50

A medical research lab in Europe is studying a drug’s absorption in the blood. Another lab in Japan is trying to delay the elimi
ladessa [460]

The correct answer is From different social and ethnic backgrounds.

Explanation:

The purpose of science studies is to gain an understanding of specific phenomena and use this in the benefit of the world or humanity. Moreover, science is guided by objective methods and these are applied all around the world. This feature allows scientists from all kinds of social and ethnic backgrounds to study the same phenomena and obtain similar results, which is essential for the progress of scientific knowledge. This is exemplified by two different labs in two different countries studying drug absorption because the results of these two studies can be analyzed together to understand drug absorption.

In this context, one factor that contributes to the progress of scientific knowledge is the effort of scientists "from different social and ethnic backgrounds".
