Answer: The correct option is (D) lithium (Li).

Explanation: Hydrogen is the element which belong to period 1. The atomic number of hydrogen is, 1

The electronic configuration of hydrogen is,

The number of valence electrons present in hydrogen is, 1.

(A) Helium is the element which belong to period 1. The atomic number of helium is, 2

The electronic configuration of helium is,

The number of valence electrons present in helium is, 2.

(B) Oxygen is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of oxygen is, 8

The electronic configuration of oxygen is,

The number of valence electrons present in oxygen is, 6.

(C) Nitrogen is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of nitrogen is, 7

The electronic configuration of nitrogen is,

The number of valence electrons present in nitrogen is, 5.

(D) Lithium is the element which belong to period 2. The atomic number of lithium is, 3

The electronic configuration of lithium is,

The number of valence electrons present in lithium is, 1.

From this we conclude that the lithium element has the same number of valence electrons as hydrogen.

Hence, the correct option is (D) lithium (Li).

What are three similarities between photosynthesis and respiration?

Mademuasel [1]

Ellular Respiration and Photosynthesis both have an ATP Synthase. These processes both have buildups of H+ and the ATP Synthase transports the hydrogen ions down the concentration gradient. This process is called Chemiosmosis.
Similarities between Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration.
Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis are both metabolic pathways. This means that the products created in Cellular Respiration are the reactants in Photosynthesis. While the products created in Photosynthesis are the reactants in Cellular Respiration. They are also metabolic pathways within themselves. In Photosynthesis, the products from the first phase (NADPH and ATP) are used in the second phase of Photosynthesis as a source of energy. In Cellular Respiration some products of glycolysis, intermediate step, Krebs Cycle are the reactants in Oxidation Phosphorylation.

elena-s [515]

Rhizoids can be called roots of bryophytes.
Rhizoids are simple hair-like protuberances that extend from the lower epidermal cells of bryophytes.
Rhizoids are long, thin cells that anchor bryophytes in the ground and absorb water and minerals.

What would be the result of a mutation that deactivates the regulatory gene of a repressible operon in an escherichia coli cell?

leonid [27]

The correct answer is: B) continuous transcription of the structural gene controlled by that regulator

A regulatory gene is gene that encodes for a protein, such as a repressor (or activators) that controls the transcription of another gene or group of genes.

The regulatory gene of a repressible operon encodes for the repressor that inhibits gene transcription. So, when that repressor isn’t active, transcription occurs continuously.
