Hope this helps <span>neutrons. this is more of a chemistry question though. neutrons and protons are what make up an atoms mass. the electrons mass is too small to even be taken into account.</span>

The definition of mass is the resistance of an object to a change in motion. Protons and electrons have little to no resistance to a change in motion, however a carbon atom does.

I hope this helped!

Be aware of mudflows. the danger from a mudflow increases near stream channels and with prolonged heavy rains. mudflows can move
Anettt [7]

The mudflows are very dangerous and they have a great destructive power. They appear after a heavy rainfall on places that are steep. The mudflows are very fast and sudden occurrences, so usually people are caught unprepared. A mudflow is a mixture of water and lot of ground/mud, and all sorts of debris, which also contributes to it to be more dangerous.

What determines which stage occurs after a supernova?
ch4aika [34]
The mass of the star actually determines the stage of the star after supernova. If the mass of the star is small, then it would become a very small and dwarf, cold and dead body in space. The mass of the star has to be less than that of the sun. If the mass of the star is greater than sun, then it would become a black hole. The mass of the star has to be more than 1.4 times the mass of the sun to become a black hole.

Which statement best explains why the population stabilized and why?!
goldenfox [79]

Answer: C. The population size became limited due to factors such as availability of food.

Explanation:

Out of all the choices, C is the most likely to happen since more often then not, food runs out because a species has too many members. C is an example of the environment’s carrying capacity limiting the chipmunk species.

Since we are not told if the chipmunk population is really small, interbreeding may not happen. Predators hunt prey, not eat fruits like chipmunks do (I’m assuming what chipmunks eat.) If there was a predator species that came in, they would hunt the chipmunks instead of competing for the same resources. D just doesn’t make much sense in my opinion because that wouldn’t limit the chipmunk population.

Explain the following statement: "Selection occurs within
True [87]

Answer: Selection occurs within generations; evolution occurs between generations. All four of Darwin's postulates are true for the medium ground finch population on Daphne Major. Darwin's theory therefore predicts a change in the composition of the population from one generation to the next. In biology, evolution is the change in the inherited traits of a population from generation to generation. ... Natural selection is a process that causes heritable traits that are helpful for survival and reproduction to become more common, and harmful traits to become more rare.
