<span>Adenosine triphosphate, ATP</span>
Answer:
14amu
Explanation:
Given subatomic particles:
Number of protons = 7
Number of Neutrons = 7
Number of electrons = 7
Unknown:
Atomic mass unit; amu of nitrogen
Solution:
The atomic mass unit of a substance is the number of protons and neutrons in such an atom;
Atomic mass unit = number of protons + number of neutrons
This is because the mass of an atom is concentrated in the nucleus;
For the given specie;
Atomic mass unit = 7 + 7 = 14amu
Answer: Lack of energy
Explanation:
Oxygen is needed in a process known as Respiration where it is used to produce energy from glucose. This energy is what the cell uses to continue whatever functions that it carries out which are needed for the body to survive. If the cells don't get oxygen, they can't make energy and if they can't make energy, they die.
Some cells are more important than others and so will need a constant supply of oxygen. The brain for instance requires 20% of the oxygen used in the body. If the body suffers from a lack of oxygen for whatever reason, brain cells begin to die within about 4 minutes.
The brain is extremely important as it directs the body. If the cells there begin to die, the body deteriorates and the body stops engaging in certain processes due to a lack of direction from the brain. This coupled with the other cells dying around the body will lead to even more deterioration till the body dies.
Carbon electrons are arranged in a way that makes it possible for them to form long chains. That also helps carbon maintain its properties.
