A; Carbon’s atomic number is 6, atomic number indicates the amount of protons in an atom. The number of protons (positively charged particles) is equal to the number of electrons (negatively charged particles). Because atoms have a neutral charge. The average atomic mass of carbon is 12.011; this is the amount of protons plus the amount of neutrons because electrons are so small they weigh almost nothing compared to protons and neutrons. To find the number of neutrons you subtract the number of protons from the average atomic mass. 12.011-6=6.011 (which can just be rounded to 6). So a carbon atom has 6 neutrons. Answer A is correct because it correctly states that an atom of carbon has 6 protons 6 neutrons and 6 electrons

How does carbon dioxide affect the ecosystem
FrozenT [24]

As a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat, CO2 raises the temperature of the atmosphere. We refer to this as global warming. The glaciers will melt more quickly as the world's temperature rises, raising sea levels and bringing on disaster. More power is consumed for air conditioning as the temperature rises, which further raises the air's CO2 level.

Since coal is the primary fuel utilized in the creation of power. This creates a vicious cycle.

Explain what maria and craters are and how they formed?
xz_007 [3.2K]

Maria and craters are explained below:

<u>Explanation: </u>

  • The Moon is divided into light area lunar highlands and a dark area called Lunar Maria.
  • Lunar Maria is large, dark, basaltic plains formed on earth's moon formed by ancient volcanic eruptions.
  • Craters are formed when an impacting object falls and hits the moon's surface with greater speed and also formed as a result of the outward explosion of rocks.
  • Craters are often caused by asteroids and meteorites with the lunar surface.  
  • Unlike earth-moon does not have an atmosphere to protect itself from impacting bodies. This is the reason for more number of craters formed on earth.

During when we are alive, oxygen is used to make atp, and atp  is used to break cross-brdiges when we are relaxing / contracting our muscles. when a person is dead then there is no oxygen but the body can still produce atp via anaerobic glycolysis, when the glycogen is depleted then no atp is produce so the the cross bridges can no logner be broken that is why skeletal muscles lock
