Answer:

The correct answer is synapse, electrical signals, neurotransmitters.

Explanation:

Neuron communicates with other neurons via action potentials and chemical neurotransmitters through the synapse.

Two neurons form a junction that is termed as a synapse, there an action potential that results in neuron A to release a neurotransmitter (chemical).

Synapses are thought of as the site of converting an electrical signal into a neurotransmitter release which is a chemical signal.

Thus, the correct answer is synapse, electrical signals, neurotransmitters.

Select 3 true statements about Analogous Structures

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

A. They have the same function

B. They have evolved independently

C. They indicate an evolutionary relationship

Explanation:

Analogous structures are structures with a different embryonic but have evolved to perform similar function.
<em><u>Analogous structures are a result of convergent evolution which is the independent evolution of similar features in species of different lineages or different embryonic origin.</u></em>
Examples of analogous structures include; wings in flying animals like bats, birds, and insects, and fins in animals like penguins and fish.

Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

1 proton has a mass of 1.00728amu

8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

= 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

= 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

= 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

= 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places
