Answer:
C.
Explanation:
All these carbon atoms are isotopes: they have the same amount of protons (in this case, 6 because carbon always has 6 protons) and the same amount of electrons (6 because the carbons given have a neutral charge).
Therefore, the only thing we are changing is the atomic mass and the amount of neutrons present in each isotope.
In Carbon-12, there are 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
In Carbon-13, there are 6 protons, 7 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
In Carbon-14, there are 6 protons, 8 neutrons, and 6 electrons.
Pieces of genes can be inserted into the genetic material of prokaryotes so that they will make the protein products encoded in the genes or copies of the genes themselves
Answer:
- Organism A is most likely a herbivore
- Organism B is most likey a carnivore
Explanation:
Based on feeding habit, organisms, usually animals, can be classified into three categories namely: herbivores, carnivores and omnivores.
- Herbivores are those organisms that feed on vegetative matter i.e. plants while carnivores are those organisms that feed on flesh of other animals or organisms. Based on what they feed on, herbivores are adapted to possess blunt teeth (for chewing) like Organism A in this question while carnivores are adapted to possess sharp teeth (for tearing flesh) like Organism B.
Based on the above explanation, organism A is most likely a HERBIVORE while organisms B is most likely a CARNIVORE.
- Another notable point of difference between herbivores and carnivores, which is likely to differentiate organism A and B as well, is that herbivores possess digestive enzyme- amylase in their saliva while carnivores do not. Herbivores need AMYLASE to break down complex carbohydrate (starch) in the plants they feed on.
