Answer:

Fight or flight man. The body reacts to center points in our brain that have been trained over a large period of our lives depending on how we respond to these things.

Some people fight and stay, some get scared and run. It's a basic reflex of the human body whether you felt scared or not, you've trained your mind and body to react that way.

Calculate the mass defect for oxygen-16 given this data. Round to the 5es001-1.jpg decimal place. mass of an oxygen-16 atom: 15.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of oxygen atom = 15.994914amu

Mass of a proton = 1.00728amu

Mass of a neutron = 1.00866amu

Unknown:

Mass defect = ?

From the periodic table, the number of the elementary particles in a neutral Oxygen atom is given below:

Number of protons = 8

Number of neutrons = 8

Number of electrons = 8

Solution

The mass defect examines the difference between the actual mass of an atom and sum of masses of the nucleons.

The mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus which contains protons and neutrons. Electrons have little to no weight compared with the nucleons.

To calculate the mass defect, we first know the mass of the nucleons first:

1 proton has a mass of 1.00728amu

8 protons will weigh: (8 x 1.00728)amu = 8.05824amu

For the neutrons:

1 neutron has a mass of 1.00866amu

8 neutrons will weigh: (8 x 1.00866)amu = 8.06928amu

Mass of the nucleons = mass of protons + mass of neutrons

= 8.05824amu + 8.06928amu

= 16.12752amu

The mass defect = mass of the nucleons - mass of the atom

= 16.12752amu - 15.994914amu

= 0.132606amu ≅ 0.13261amu to 5 decimal places

Discuss the functions and deficiency symptoms of phosphorus

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Functions of phosphorus in the body,

i) Formation of bones and teeth. It's a component necessary for forming strong bones and teeth in the body.

ii) It's important in helping to make protein in the body for growth. Since many proteins in the body are phosphorylated for regulating their functions.

iii) Activation of enzymes. This done through phosphorylation.

iv) Gene transcription. It provides structural importance to the gene and protein binding is by the presence of phosphorus.

Deficiency of phosphorus in the body;

i) Weak and fragile bones.

ii) Bone pain.

iii) Fragile teeth.

iv) Stiff joints.

For a project I needed to ask 25 people : do you think eating meat is bad for the environment?

Lelu [443]

Answer:

Yes (It's more inefficient)

Explanation:

in ecology there are things called primary producers (plants) that are eaten by primary consumers (cows and chickens) and then there are humans, secondary consumers, that eat cows and chickens for energy.

The further we move from eating primary producers the more inefficient we become in consuming energy. Meaning, it requires a lot more natural energy consumption to support a human that lives on meat only as compared to a human that eats plants only. this inefficiency only magnifies when communities practice unsustainable food methods.

There are sustainable ways to eat meat, but (at least in the US) our current conventions of meat production are unsustainable and environmentally destructive.

Plants maintain homeostasis by ____. 1) opening and closing stomata. 2) converting excess sugar molecules to a lesser number of

Nuetrik [128]

D)all of the above

Homeostasis is the property of a system, either open or closed, that regulates its internal environment and tends to maintain a stable, constant condition within an organism. (Eg controlling amount of sugar in the bloodstream, keeping waste levels at acceptable levels.) 

Opening and closing stomata controls the gas levels within the plant. 
Converting excess sugar molecules to a lesser number of starch molecules regulates sugar levels. 
Excreting waste through the cell membrane prevents waste build-up.
