Answer:
Positron emission
Explanation:
Positron emission involves the conversion of a proton to a neutron. This process increases the mass number of the daughter nucleus by 1 while its atomic number remains the same. The new neutron increases the number of neutrons present in the daughter nucleus hence the process increases the N/P ratio.
A positron is usually ejected in the process together with an anti-neutrino to balance the spins.
Answer:
B. temperature decreases as altitude increases.
Explanation:
Just like in the lower reaches of the atmosphere, the troposphere, in the mesosphere, temperature decreases as altitude increases.
The mesosphere is the third layer of the atmosphere just above the stratosphere.
- It begins at the top of the stratosphere and ends at the mesopause where the thermosphere begins.
- The mesosphere is often referred to as the middle layer.
With increasing height, the temperature of the mesosphere decreases significantly. The top of the mesosphere is one of the coldest part of the earth atmosphere. This is as a result of increasing atmospheric cooling by carbon dioxide in this region of the atmosphere.
An organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.
