Biology
1 answer:
Fittoniya [83]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

48

Explanation:

Atomic number is equal to how much electrons there is (the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons)

To find the number of neutrons, one have to subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass.

i.e: 84-36=48

Why do you think Leeuwenhoek named the cells he observed "animalcules"
ra1l [238]

Answer:

Using single-lensed microscopes of his own design and make, Van Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe and to experiment with microbes, which he originally referred to as dierkens, diertgens or diertjes (Dutch for "small animals" [translated into English as animalcules, from Latin animalculum = "tiny animal"]).

Leeuwenhoek named the cells he observed originally as dierkens, which is the Dutch word for small animals, and translated to English as animalcules.

Hope it helps :)

Though I may be wrong :( ...

Have a great day!

Can someone please answer 15-17
yan [13]

Answer:

15. D have specific gened activated

16. G cell division is unregulated

17. D providing information to form proteins

Explanation:

15. When an egg is first fertilised, the cells are very flexible. They are sort of like a "blank slate", and can become any type of cell. From these cells, all the cells in the body are created: brain cells, skin cells, blood cells etc. To become all these different types of cells, they keep dividing, slowly branching off and becoming more specific. This process is called differentiation.

They do this because different patterns and combinations genes are activated that turn them in to these different and specific cell types.

16. One of the hallmarks of a cancer cell is unregulated cell division. Oncogenes start as normal genes (called proto-oncogenes) that function in normal processes, such as the cell cycle, inhibiting apoptosis. However, when they become mutated, they can promote the growth and division of cells and prevent their programmed death. This is because they become more active or present in higher amounts following the mutation. This causes such functions in the cell to become deregulated, leading to uncontrolled cell proliferation and the growth of harmful tumour cells.

17. The central dogma of biology states that DNA --> RNA --> protein. The messenger RNA (mRNA) is transcribed from the DNA. It contains a message that is translated by the protein synthesis machinery to form proteins.

This is how all the proteins in the cell are produced, and the information for how to encode them is entirely dependent upon the sequence of the DNA, which is sent as a coded message in the form of RNA, to the protein synthesis machinery. The protein synthesis machinery makes the proteins according to the DNA sequence (as translated from the mRNA).

It can affect electricity and cause a shortage. along with that, if a glacier flows across a stream/river , it’ll create a dam that stores a lot of water. therefore, it could end up flooding an area

What is a monomer?<br> What is a polymer?
dlinn [17]

Answer:

What is a monomer?

A monomer is a molecule that can react together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain or three-dimensional network in a process called polymerization.

What is a polymer?

Polymers are materials made of long, repeating chains of molecules. The materials have unique properties, depending on the type of molecules being bonded and how they are bonded. Some polymers bend and stretch, like rubber and polyester.The term polymer is often used to describe plastics, which are synthetic polymers.
