irakobra [83]3 years ago

Answer:

Of the 118 elements that have been discovered, there are 90 elements that occur in nature in appreciable amounts.

Explanation:

Depending who you ask, there are another 4 or 8 elements that occur in nature as a result of radioactive decay of heavier elements. So, the grand total of natural elements is 94 or 98. As new decay schemes are discovered, it's likely the number of natural elements will grow. However, these elements will likely be present in trace amounts.

There are 80 elements that have at least one stable isotope. The other 38 elements exist only as radioactive isotopes. Several of the radioisotopes instantly decay into a different element.

It used to be believed that of the first 92 elements on the periodic table (1 is hydrogen and 92 is uranium) that 90 elements occur naturally. Technetium (atomic number 43) and promethium (atomic number 61) were synthesized by man before they were identified in nature.

Describe the actual and relative sizes of a virus, a bacterium, and a plant or animal cell.
anzhelika [568]

Answer :

The animals are categorized into 2 groups - eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The microbes like bacteria are coming under prokaryotes. They are unicellular organisms and without a true nucleus.

Viruses are the connecting link between the living and non - living. They are smaller than bacteria. The microbes less than 100 micrometer can't be seen by the naked eye. They can only visible under a microscope.

Viruses like polio, flu virus sizes are 10nm. But some of the viruses are also less than 10nm. The size of bacteria is 1 micrometer. The viruses are 10 times smaller than the bacteria.

The eukaryotic organisms are more advanced and multicellular. Their cell size is larger than bacteria and viruses. The red blood cells under the light microscope are 8 micrometers. The typical animal cells like sperm are 60 micrometers and a skin cell is 30 micrometers. The plant cell for example pollen is 90 micrometers.

The eukaryotic cells sizes are more than prokaryotes like bacteria.

Good conductors must
olchik [2.2K]
The answer is b. Readily accept electron flow. It is because electron flow is the reason for generation of electricity i.e, current is produced in the direction opposite to the electron flow. In order to behave as a good conductor, it must allow free flow of electrons through it. Hope it helps.
