Explanation:

Physical properties are the properties which can be observed without any change in chemical composition of a substance. For example, color, odor, mass, density etc are all physical properties.

An atom contains protons, neutrons and electrons. The nucleus of atom contains protons and neutrons. The mass of an electron is negligible as compared to protons.

Therefore, mass of an atom is due to the number of protons.

Hence, we can conclude that protons of the atom determines physical properties.

Explain why people who eat only plants must eat a variety of plants in order to obtain all the nutrients they need

katrin2010 [14]

Because different plants contain different vitamins and minerals as well as different amino acids and our body needs a large variety of these in order to preform all the necessary chemical reactions taking place inside our body. Some vegetables are very rich in a certain vitamin but are lacking in another, like how oranges have plenty of vitamin C but not iron. Vitamins and minerals are used in your cells to speed up and allow pretty much any chemical reaction to occur, but each one helps with a certain process and cannot simply be replaced by a different vitamin. In addition, very few vegetables contain all of the essential amino acids that work as the building blocks for protein synthesis and the creation of enzymes, so if you are not getting all of these in your diet, it is very unlikely you are producing enough enzymes and as a result certain functions in your body could stop working altogether.
