How many dots are shown in the electron dot diagram for calcium, in group II and period 4 with 20 protons and 20 electrons?

Biology

Vinvika [58]4 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

It is known that dots present around the symbol of an element denotes the number of valence electrons present in the element.

For example, atomic number of calcium is 20 as it has 20 protons. So, its electronic distribution is as 2, 8, 8, 2.

Hence, it means that an atom of calcium contains 2 valence electrons and in order to attain stability it readily loses those two electrons.

Therefore, we can conclude that an electron dot diagram for calcium will have 2 dots around the symbol Ca.

How is a society likely to address the problem of overuse of wildlife
Marianna [84]

Answer:

C. By creating laws or traditions that regulate hunting and fishing

Explanation:

Wildlife resources refer to wild animals (terrestrial, aquatic etc) in their natural habitat. Wildlife is an integral part of our society, however, they are being overexploited by human activities.

According to the options in the question, one way to address the problem of over use of wildlife resources is by creating laws or traditions that regulate hunting and fishing. Laws that compel hunting and fishing, which are the means humans over use wildlife, will help bring the rate at which these resources are used.

For example, creating a law that prohibits hunting in certain areas will help preserve wildlife in that area because it is a punishable offence by the law to hunt. Hence, wildlife resources will be preserved.

Human proteins can be produced by cells in the milk-producing mammary glands of transgenic mammals if the regulatory sequence of
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The given blank can be filled with location of gene expression.

Explanation:

A regulatory sequence refers to a section of a molecule of nucleic acid that possesses the tendency of declining or upsurging the expression of particular genes within an organism. The regulation of gene expression is an important characteristic of all living species and viruses.  

In the given case, it is essential to use the regulatory sequence of a milk gene when developing a recombinant gene as a regulatory sequence monitors the location of gene expression.

During metabolism the complete of one molecule of glucose results in a maximum yield if 38 molecules of
Bond [772]

During cellular respiration, which is a part of metabolism, one molecule of glucose produces a maximum yield of 38 molecules of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). ATP is the energy form that cells use to function and has also been often called the "currency" of the cells.

The whole process begins with breakdown of food by the digestive system right down to their monomer units. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is carried by blood to all cells of the body.

Each cell takes in glucose and breaks it down through the respiration process that begins with glycolysis in the cytoplasm which yields 2 ATP molecules, then onward into the mitochondria of the cell where Krebs cycle and electron transport chain processes generate 34 to 36 more molecules of ATP.
