Hey there!

An ion is any atom with an electric charge. This can be negative or positive.

To see which one of these is an ion, first see what causes an electric charge. Positive charges are caused by protons. One proton = one positive. Negative charges are caused by electrons. One electron = one negative. Thus, when the number of protons and electrons are equal, this makes it so there is no overall charge. Thus, to make an ion, the number of protons and electrons must be unequal.

When we look at the answer choice, we can see that the number of protons and electrons are equal for every single choice except for choice b. Thus, your answer is b.

Hope this helps!

Which behavior can reduce pollution that occurs due to the use of coal?
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Coal is majorly used to produces electricity. The coal is ignited and the heat produced used to heat water to steam. The steam is then used to drive turbines with a dynamo effect to produce electricity. Turning off lights when not in use reduces the demand for electricity hence reducing the amount of coal needed to meet this demand.

Other ways to conserve energy is using bulbs with low energy demand - such as LEDs - and  improving natural lighting indoors.

Answer:

mRNA destroyer concentration has a greater influence because it is destroying mRNA before  proteins can even be produced.

Explanation:

<em>Proteins are synthesized from mRNA through the process of translation. mRNAs are first synthesized from a coding DNA template through the process of transcription. Hence, if mRNAs are destroyed, it means proteins will not be synthesized at all.</em>

Protein not being synthesized at all means that mRNA destroyer concentration has a greater influence on protein levels than protein degradation. With protein degradation, not all the protein is degraded at once and some quantity of the protein can still be found, but with mRNA destroyer concentration, no protein can be found at all because it was not synthesized in the first place.

Why is it useful for an ecologist to identify the keystone species of an ecosystem?
RideAnS [48]

It is useful for an ecologist to identify the keystone species in an ecosystem because the keystone species is important to maintaining the stability of an ecosystem, and any changes in the keystone species population shows that there is changes in ecosystem health.

Melas is a recently described disorder that is related to improper energy relationships within cells. which structure organelle
Rasek [7]
I believe the structure organelle that may be faulty is Mitochondria. Mitochondria is a cellular organelle that is involved in cellular respiration a process that uses glucose to yield water and carbon dioxide coupled with production of energy in the form of ATP. Melas meaning mitochondrial encephalomyopathy lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes is a conditions that affects body systems especially the brain and the nervous system and muscles.
