**Question 3: Charge and Protons in an Amoeba**An amoeba may have \( 1.0 \times 10^{16} \) protons and a net charge of \( +0.30 \) pC (1 pC = \( 10^{-12} \) C).![Amoeba Image]**A. How many electrons is this amoeba missing?****B. Protons and electrons tend to pair up (because of Coulomb's Law). However, some protons are missing electrons here. What fraction of all the protons are missing electrons?**---**Graphical Description:**There is an image of an amoeba shown in the question. The amoeba appears irregular in shape with various internal structures visible, likely representing its organelles. This serves as a visual aid to familiarize students with what an amoeba looks like in a microscopic image.---**Calculation Details for Educational Context:**1. **Calculating the Charge in Coulombs:** Given net charge \( Q \) is \( +0.30 \) pC or \( 0.30 \times 10^{-12} \) C.2. **Determining Number of Missing Electrons:** The charge of a single electron (\( e \)) is approximately \( -1.602 \times 10^{-19} \) C. Missing electrons \( n \) can be calculated by \[ Q = n \times e. \] Therefore, \[ n = \frac{Q}{e} = \frac{0.30 \times 10^{-12}}{1.602 \times 10^{-19}} \approx 1.87 \times 10^{6}. \] So, the amoeba is missing approximately \( 1.87 \times 10^{6} \) electrons.3. **Fraction of Protons Missing Electrons:** Given \( 1.0 \times 10^{16} \) protons, \[ \text{Fraction} = \frac{\text{Missing Electrons}}{\text{Total Protons}} = \frac{ 1.87 \times 10^{6} }{ 1.0 \times 10^{16} } = 1.87 \times 10^{-10}. \] Therefore, the fraction of all the pro
