Which statement about relative potential energy of electrons is correct?

Biology

SVETLANKA909090 [29]3 years ago
6 0

The correct answer is: C. An electron in the 3 p orbital of the third electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell.

Electron shells or energy levels of the electrons are fixed distances from the nucleus of an atom where electrons may be found (electrons occupy only energy levels not the space between them). Electrons in the level 1 (K) have the lowest amount of energy, electrons at higher levels have more energy thet increases by a fixed, discrete amount. Electrons can jump to the higher level by absorbing energy or to a lower by releasing it in the form of light.

Answer:

Option C, An electron in the 3 p orbital of the third electron shell has more potential energy than an electron in the 2 p orbital of the second electron shell.

Explanation:

There are different arrangements of orbits s,p,d and f, where s is the closest to the nucleus and has least energy as compared to  other orbits.  Also, even in p orbitals an electron which lies in 2p orbit is close to nucleus and hence has less energy as compared to electron lying in 3p orbit. Thus, the nearer the orbit lies to the nucleus , the lesser is the energy of the electron rotating in this orbit as they face the strongest force of positively charged nucleus.

Hence, option C is correct.

Scientists have found that extracellular matrix components may induce specific gene expression in embryonic tissues such as the
serg [7]

Scientists have found that extracellular matrix component may induce specific gene expression in the embryonic tissues such as the liver and testes. For this to happen, there must be a direct communication between the extracellular matrix and the developing cells. The Integrins of transmembrane protein would most likely be involved in this kind of induction.

Integrins are the main principal receptors used by the cells of  animal to bind to the matrix of extracellular. They are heterodimers and they function as transmembrane linkers between the actin cytoskeleton and the extracellular matrix. A cell can regulate the sticky activity of its integrins from within.

The table below summarizes Mendel’s results for the F2 generation. Mendel’s Results Plant height 787 tall 277 short Flower color
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

2001

Explanation:

This question showcases a table that displays Mendel's results (figures) when he crossed pea plants and observed different characters in the plant. Mendel worked with different phenotypic characteristics in the pea plant.

According to the table, the result were for seven characteristics including height, flower color, flower position, pod color, pod shape, seed color, seed shape. Based on the observation of the number of F2 offsprings that possessed dominant trait and recessive trait for each character, we will notice that it follows an approximate phenotypic ratio of 3:1

1. Plant height 787 tall 277 short (3:1)

2. Flower color 705 purple 224 white (3:1)

3. Flower position 651 middle of stem 207 end of stem (3:1)

4. Pod color 428 green 152 yellow (3:1)

5. Pod shape 882 inflated 299 constricted (3:1)

6. Seed color 6,022 yellow X green

7. Seed shape 5,474 smooth 1,850 wrinkled (3:1)

This 3 dominant : 1 recessive ratio is the ratio got in the F2 offsprings when he observed the seven characteristics in pea plants. Hence, the seed color will also follow the same 3:1 ratio

Therefore, 2001 is the result Mendel obtained in the F2 offsprings for the recessive trait of seed color characteristics in his experiment, which actually depicts the 3:1 ratio. Hence, X (green seed color) is 2001
