Answer:

20 neutrons

Explanation:

In the atom of an element, there exists three subatomic particles namely; proton, neutron and electron etc. The sum of the number of neutrons and number of protons (a.k.a atomic number) in an atom makes up the mass number.

In this question, an element was given as follows: 39- 19 K meaning that the mass number is 39 but the atomic number is 19.

Hence,

no of. neutrons = mass no. - atomic no.

39 - 19 = 20 neutrons.

When sugars are broken down to produce usable energy for cells, a large amount of heat is released. Explain how the water inside
Helen [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is due to the fact that water has  high specific heath capacity,which makes it to accommodate large amount of heat energy produced by the catabolic reactions which liberated heat.

General, the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a particular substance over a given amount is called the specific  heat capacity of that substance. Therefore for water, the amount of heat energy needed to raise the mass of 1kg of water by 1 degree is called the specific heat capacity of water.

Since large hydrogen bonds  held water molecules together,it takes a long time of heat energy to break these bonds free to raise the temperature of water.Hence, water in living cells is able to accommodate large amount of heat energy to stabilise the temperate of the cells.

What kinds of molecules pass using transport proteins
ella [17]

A channel protein serves as a tunnel across the membrane into the cell. More specifically, channel proteins help molecules across the membrane via passive transport, a process called facilitated diffusion. These channel proteins are responsible for bringing in ions and other small molecules into the cell
