Answer: Atoms are made up of three particles: electrons, protons and neutrons.

Explanation: Atoms are the smallest particles of an element which can take part in a chemical reaction. Atoms contain protons, neutrons and electrons. Protons and neutrons are located in the nucleus of an atom while electrons are located outside the nucleus. Protons have positive charges, electrons have negative charges while neutrons are uncharged. The number of protons and electrons in an atom are usually equal thus making an atom electrically neutral. When an atom looses one or more electrons it becomes positively charged while when an atom gains one or more electrons it becomes negatively charged. A positively charged atom is called a cation while a negatively charged atom is called an anion.

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

A. longer pregnancies & periods of infant dependency

Explanation:

Primates are known to mature slowly compared to other mammals, they have a longer gestation period and longer period of infant dependency. Therefore the period between birth and adulthood is usually longer compared to other mammals, which then result to late age in their first reproduction.

For example humans have a gestation period of 365 days while baboons is 187 days compared to rabbits with a gestation period of about 33 days or  mice with a gestation period of about 20 days

Of any primate, humans exhibit the longest period of infant dependency, Chimpanzee is about 5 years compared to other mammals.
