Answer:
.
Explanation:
Based on the electron configuration of this ion, count the number of electrons in this ion in total:
.
Each electron has a charge of .
Atoms are neutral and have charge. However, when an atom gains one extra electron, it becomes an ion with a charge of
. Likewise, when that ion gains another electron, the charge on this ion would become
.
The ion in this question has a charge of . In other words, this ion is formed after its corresponding atom gains two extra electrons. This ion has
electrons in total. Therefore, the atom would have initially contained
electrons. The atomic number of this atom would be
.
Refer to a modern copy of the periodic table. The element with an atomic number of is sulphur with atomic symbol
. To denote the ion, place the charge written backwards ("
" for a charge of
) as the superscript of the atomic symbol:

Answer:
Glycogen in an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues.
Explanation:
Full question:
Glycogen ________
A) forms the regulatory molecules known as enzymes
B) serves as a structural component of human cells
C) helps to protect vital organs from damage
D) is an important storage polysaccharide found in animal tissues
E) contains the genetic information found in cells
Glycogen is a complex polysaccharide of glucose founded in humans, animals, fungi and even bacteria. In humans, the glycogen is made and stored in liver cells. In the center on glycogen molecule, there is a single protein called Glycogenin. It is a center of a big flower made of glucose molecules (please refer to the scheme attached - Glycogenin is red and the blue lines are glucose chains). Glycogen is also stored in skeletal muscle, red and white blood cells, in glial brain cells and kidneys but in a smaller amounts. It can be found in the placenta in pregnant women where it serves as a nutrient storage for embryo. In an adult, the liver weighs 1,5 kg and glycogen weighs about 120g in such a liver. After a meal, the level of sugar is rising and the insulin is being secreted. Insulin is a tool by which sugar is being delivered to the cells, like a food delivery. During this period, glycogen is being synthesized in the liver out of glucose residues. When the meal is digested, the sugar level is back to normal. When more energy is needed, glycogen from the liver is broken down by glycogen phosphorylase and the new sugar is released into the bloodstream.
