Answer:
13 chromosomes, meiosis
Explanation:
the sperm cell contributes half of the chromosome in an offspring while the egg cells contributes the other half. Hence, the sperm cell has half of 26, 13. This process is called meiosis. Meiosis is when one cell undergoes cell division twice, thus creating 4 new cells. Each of these 4 new cells have half the amount of chromosomes as the original cell.
Answer: the process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
Explanation:
An atom is the fundamental unit of matter and it contains an equal number of protons and electrons in its nucleus which makes it electrically neutral. An ion however, is an atom containing an unequal number of protons and electrons which means it will either carry a net positive charge or negative charge depending on whether there are more electrons or protons.
Answer:
NH₄CN, NH₄IO₃, Fe(CN)₃, Fe(IO₃)₃
Explanation:
Cations (positively charged ions) can only form ionic bonds with anions (negatively charged ions). However, you can't just simply put one cation and one anion together to form a compound. Each compound needs to been neutral, or have an overall charge of 0. When cations and anions do not have charges that perfectly cancel, you need to modify the amount of each ion in the compound.
1.) NH₄CN
-----> NH₄⁺ and CN⁻
-----> +1 + (-1) = 0
2.) NH₄IO₃
-----> NH₄⁺ and IO₃⁻
-----> +1 + (-1) = 0
3.) Fe(CN)₃
-----> Fe³⁺ and CN⁻
-----> +3 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0
4.) Fe(IO₃)₃
-----> Fe³⁺ and IO₃⁻
-----> +3 + (-1) + (-1) + (-1) = 0
