An element's atomic number is 74. How many protons would an atom of this element have?

Biology

Dmitry [639]3 years ago

Atomic number of an atom equals to the number of nucleus in the nucleus of the atom. Therefore, the answer is 74.

The proton of an element is never changed. No matter if it's an atom or ion. It's like an ID number for an element. It defines the type of element. Don't mix up atomic number with mass number though, mass number is the total sum of of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom.

Theres one more subatomic particle in an atom, that is electrons. But since they're too light, they won't be counted in mass. Also, the number of electrons in an atom equals to the number of proton, also the atomic number. If the number of electrons is different, it's no longer an atom, but an ion.

What is the main purpose of mRNA is to?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Essentially mRNA acts as the middle man between genetic information in DNA and the amino acid sequence of proteins.

Explanation:

messenger RNA has codons that are complementary to the sequence of nucleotides on the template DNA, which the mRNA is translating.  These codons then direct the formation of amino acids through the action of ribosomes and tRNA to create proteins based on the specific DNA code translated.

por que podemos afirmar que a respiraçao aerobia é energeticamente mais eficiente que o processo de fermentação ?
denis-greek [22]
A fermentação é um processo de transformação de uma substância em outra, produzida a partir de microorganismos, tais como fungos, bactérias, ou até o próprio corpo, chamados nestes casos de fermentos.
Existem 2 tipos de fermentação: A fermentação láctica e alcoólica. Este tipo de obtenção de energia não necessita do oxigênio como aceptor final de elétrons, por isso é chamado de respiração anaeróbica. Ambos os tipos de fermentações produzem 2 ATP no final do processo por molécula de glicose.

Portanto, o processo fermentativo apresenta um rendimento energético bem inferior ao da respiração aeróbica.
