Mass is a basic property of matter and is made of atoms. Atoms are made of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Protons and neutrons make up the majority of the mass in an atom. Atoms may vary in the number of neutrons they have (called isotopes), and therefore the exact atomic mass may vary from atom to atom
The mass change, or the mass defect, can be calculated by the formula that is very known to be associated with Albert Einstein.
E = Δmc²
where
E is the energy gained or released during the reaction
c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
Δm is the mass change
(1.715×10³ kJ)(1,000 J/1 kJ) = Δm(3×10⁸ m/s)²
Δm = 1.91×10⁻¹¹ kg
I think it’s the cell membrane if you’re talking about animal cells and plant cells.
I think the best word here would be compress. It is to compress that is defined as to squeeze a gas into a smaller space. Compression is the reduction of volume which cause an increase in pressure of the gas. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
