Answer:

I got that it has no charge.

Explanation:

Phosphorus,

Phosphorus is an element and therefore has a balance of 15 protons and 15 electrons. Therefore has no charge. It can be ionized though, and then it prefers to take up 3 electrons and thereby become phosphide with a -3 charge.

Why can’t cold air hold much water vapor?
Andru [333]
Warm air can “hold” more water vapor than cool air because as the air warms its molecules move farther apart, making room for more molecules. This leads to the idea that as air cools its molecules move closer together, “squeezing” out water vapor.

Which must an animal do in order for cellular respiration to begin?
KatRina [158]

Answer:

Eat food

Explanation:

Food contain protein, carbohydrates, fats etc. These nutrients undergoes metabolic process and produced energy in cellular respiration.

There are two types of respiration:

1. Aerobic respiration  

2. Anaerobic respiration

Aerobic respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen to yield large amount of energy. Water and carbon dioxide are also produced as a byproduct.

Glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + 38ATP

Anaerobic Respiration

It is the breakdown of glucose molecule in the absence of oxygen and produce small amount of energy. Alcohol or lactic acid and carbon dioxide are also produced as byproducts.  

Glucose→ lactic acid/alcohol + 2ATP + carbon dioxide

This process use respiratory electron transport chain as electron acceptor instead of oxygen. It is mostly occur in prokaryotes. Its main advantage is that it produce energy (ATP) very quickly as compared to aerobic respiration.

Increased irrigation demands: decrease the rate of transpiration increase the rate of surface water evaporation change the amoun
drek231 [11]

Answer: Increase the rate of surface water evaporation

Irrigation is a process, in which the crops are supplied with water, to ensure their proper growth. Increased in the irrigation supply can be because of the environmental conditions like hot summer season or may be because of the type of soil is semi arid or arid means the soil does not retains moisture efficiently. This will result in increase in the rate of evaporation of the surface water.
