Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)

[Solve] moles Au

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of Au - 196.97 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

[DA] Set up: $\displaystyle 25.0 \ g \ Au(\frac{1 \ mol \ Au}{196.97 \ g \ Au})$
[DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units: $\displaystyle 0.126923 \ mol \ Au$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

0.126923 mol Au ≈ 0.127 mol Au

The cells that allow your bones to move contain bundles of long cylinders. These cells have alternating light and dark bands cal

poizon [28]

Answer:

<h2>Actin and myosin.</h2>

Explanation:

The cells that allow your bones to move, the movement of thick (myosin) and thin (actin) filaments during contraction .

During a contraction thick and thin filaments do not shorten but increase their overlap of each other.

Thin filaments slide past thick filaments extending more deeply into the A band.

The I bands and H bands decrease in lenght as Z discs are come closer together .

Sarcomere represents area between two Z disc, so the sarcomere gets smaller during a contraction .
