Answer:

The correct answer is "the 3rd electron".

Explanation:

The ionization energy is defined as the minimum quantity of energy that an electron requires to be removed from an atom at a defined moment. In the case of sodium, is widely known that the most common ion found in nature is Na+. This is explained because the 1st electron is the one that requires less ionization energy. Among the 1st, 2nd and 3rd electrons, the one that requires more ionization energy is the 3rd, because it represents the sum of the 1st and the 2nd. I attached a table as reference.

1st.

It is closest to the positively charged nucleus which attracts the negatively charged electron with the attractive force being inversely proportional to distance.

why do saturated fatty acids have straight structures, while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?

Ierofanga [76]

Saturated fatty acids are chains of single bonded carbons surrounded by hydrogen atoms.

Unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures due to double bonding between carbon atoms in the chain. When carbons create double bonds with each other they are no longer able to hold as many hydrogens as a saturated fatty acid

Answer:

Option (A) is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

If the hypothesis is correct then we shall be higher than Fst in the rest of the genome in the area environment the cold-shock protein in the genomic region surrounding the cold-shock gene, except for the Fst.

Cold shock components are those product uses that are produced in cold and defend against cold stress. Fst is a gene of ice, present offshore of proteins from cold shock. During cold stress, the fist gene expression increase by several folds to increase cold shock protein production.
Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

Explanation:

Simple Diffusion across the Cell (Plasma) Membrane The structure of the lipid bilayer allows only small, non-polar substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through the cell membrane, down their concentration gradient, by simple diffusion.
