Answer:

In the n=1 energy level, the atom has 2 electrons

Explanation:

Electrons orbit the nucleus of an atom in multiple rings (energy levels). The first ring of the electron can only hold 2 electrons. After that, electrons are added to the second ring. Excluding the first ring, all other rings can hold a maximum of 8 electrons.

For example, Oxygen is an atom with 6 electrons. The first energy level contains 2 electrons, and the second energy level contains 4 electrons. The second energy level has room for up to 4 more electrons.

In your example of an atom with 15 electrons, there would be 2 electrons in the first ring, 8 electrons in the second ring, and 5 electrons in the third and final ring.

To summarize, <em>all </em>atoms have a first energy level containing 2 electrons, and all other energy levels can contain 8 electrons. This is true no matter the number of electrons.

Insects are responsible for the destruction of a significant percentage of potential food harvests every year. Please select the
salantis [7]

Answer:

T (True)

Explanation:

The insects are very dangerous for the agricultural sector. Each year, the insects manage to cause enormous damage to the crops worldwide, thus causing both financial damage, and shortage of food on the market. In general, the damages done by the insects are in the developing and especially in the less developed countries. The reason for that is that the agriculture in these countries is still done in more primitive way, and the modern day chemicals for protection are either used little, or are totally absent. This leaves the door open for the pests like the insects to feast upon the crops and totally destroy them.

Why is gene regulation necessary in the development of multicellular organism? Use a specific example to support your argument
slava [35]

Gene regulation is necessary in the development of multi-cellular organisms because it is necessary to make sure certain things go where they are needed to go. Multi-cellular organisms have more organ systems, therefore depend on more cells to live. Cells have a memory; the genes a cell expresses and the way it behaves depend on the cell's past, as well as its present environment.

Which of the following are ways that DNA can undergo mutation? A. During DNA replication, the wrong base is added to the strand
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: Option C.

High-energy waves like UV light or radiation physically damage the DNA

Explanation:

Mutation is the change or alteration that occur in the DNA sequence or nucleotides sequence of an organism which is caused by mistakes when the organism is copied or environmental factors such as UV light.

Ultraviolet light cause mutations by activating the SOS repair systemof which is a part of i a new DNA polymerase that has no power to edit e but has the ability to move past the thymine dimer and synthesize DNA, This lead to cells able to replicate but with a high frequency of mutations.
