Answer:

Hydrogen atoms can form a molecule as 2 hydrogen atoms together can result in a low energy combination of 2 electrons of the same energy level.

Explanation: Helium atoms already have 2 electrons of the same energy so therefore it cannot accept more.

Answer:

Explanation:

In terms of old school electron shells - One Hydrogen atom on it's own has an empty shell, and therefore to fill the shell it needs another electron. In the case of Helium, it already has two electrons at the same energy level - so it cannot accept any new electrons i.e. it cannot form new bonds.

Meat is not a good source of protein because it does not provide the body with all the essential amino acids.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: False.

Meat is a good source of protein. There are nine essential amino acids which are required under special conditions like illness.

These are-  Histidine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine, Threonine, Methionine, Lysine, Phenylalanine and Tryptophan. They cannot be synthesized by the body and therefore need to be taken from external protein sources.

Since meat contains all the essential amino acids, therefore it is considered as a good source of protein. Hence, the given statement is false.

iren2701 [21]
Proprioception is the subconscious mechanism by which the body is able to regulate posture and movement by responding to stimuli originating in the joints, tendons, muscle, and inner ear. Proprioceptors are sensors that provide information about joint angle, muscle length, and muscle tension, which is integrated to give information about the position of the limb in space. The muscle is one type of proprioceptor that provides information about changes in muscle length. <span />
