Atoms may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms are the smallest fraction of an element that can exist, and still show the properties of the element. They consists of electrons (negatively charged), protons (positively charged), and neutrons (no charge). The number of electrons is equivalent to the number of protons normally however an atom may loose or pick up electrons and have a positive charge or negative charge. The number of neutrons in the nucleus may vary within a given element to give varieties of atoms we call isotopes.

How does phosphorus reach surface waters

egoroff_w [7]

It is an essential element for plant life, but when there is too much of it in water, it can speed up eutrophication (a reduction in dissolved oxygen in water bodies caused by an increase of mineral and organic nutrients) of rivers and lakes. Soil erosion is a major contributor of phosphorus to streams.

Compare the use of the siphon in clams and squid

inna [77]

Explanation:

Siphons in Mollusca are tube-like structures in which water (or, more rarely, air) flows. The water flow is used for one or more purposes such as locomotion, feeding, respiration, and reproduction.
The siphon propels the squid through the water in the opposite direction to which the siphon is pointing, much like jet propulsion. To use this jet propulsion, the squid takes in water through the large opening and then closes off the opening.
