A third-degree burn would be less painful than a first- or second-degree burn involving the same body area because of the destruction of underlying pain receptors.
Nerve endings are destroyed in third-degree burns, which means that a person can no longer feel pain in that particular spot on the body. Third-degree burns are the most severe ones and cannot be treated easily - usually skin grafting or synthetic skin has to be used to replace the burnt skin.

When an atom that has no change loses two electrons, it becomes a ?

densk [106]

Question: When an atom that has no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a:

A: positive ion.

B: negative ion.

C: positive isotope.

D: negative isotope.

Answer:

When an atom that has no change loses two electrons, it becomes "positive ion".

Explanation:

It is known that electrons hold a negative charge. So, when the negative charge that is electrons are taken out an atom then the number of electrons become less in number as compared to the number of protons. Hence, the atom attains a positive charge.An isotope is formed when an atom shows same number of protons and different number of neutrons. So, when an atom loses 2 electrons there will be no change in the number of neutrons. Therefore, an isotope will not form.Thus, it is concluded that when an atom with no charge loses two electrons, it becomes a positive ion.

What does the light reaction need to occur and what does it produce

SpyIntel [72]

"Light reactions need light to produce organic energy molecules. They are initiated by colored pigments, mainly green colored chlorophylls. Dark reactions make use of these organic energy molecules. This reaction cycle is also called Calvin Benison Cycle, and it occurs in the stroma."
