Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Neutron is neutral subatomic particles that are found in the nucleus of the atom. Protons are the positive particles that are found in the nucleus of the atom while electrons are the negative particles present outside the nucleus in an atom.

Answer to Problem 1MCQ

Correct answer:

Hydrogen ion has only one proton present in its nucleus. Therefore, option b is correct.

Explanation of Solution

Reason for correct statement:

Hydrogen atom has one proton and one electron present in it. It does not have any neutron in it. The hydrogen ion is formed when it loses its one electron. So the hydrogen ion has only one proton left.

Option b is given as “0; 1; 0”.

As, “hydrogen ion has one proton with zero electron and neutron,” is the right answer.

Hence, option b is correct.

Reasons for the incorrect statements:

Option a is given as “1; 0; 2”.

Hydrogen ion has zero neutrons. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option c is given as “0; 0; 1”.

Hydrogen ion has one proton present in its nucleus. So, it is a wrong answer.

Option d is given as “1; 1; 0”.

Hydrogen ion does not have neutron present in it. So, it is a wrong answer.

Hence, options a., c., and d. are incorrect.

Conclusion

The hydrogen atom loses one electron to form hydrogen ion. Hydrogen ion has only one proton left and does not have any electron or neutron.

After you feel comfortable with your counting method and identifying cells in the various stages of mitosis, use the four images below of whitefish blastula to count the cells in each stage until you reach 100 total cells, recording your data below in Data Table 1. (You may not need to use all four images. Stop counting when you reach 100 total cells.) After totaling the cells in each stage, calculate the percent of cells in each stage. (Divide total of stage by overall total of 100 and then multiply by 100 to obtain percentage.)   Data Table 1Stage    Totals    PercentInterphase        Mitosis:        Prophase        Metaphase        Anaphase        Telophase        Cytokinesis        Totals    100    100% To find the length of time whitefish blastula cells spend in each stage, multiply the percent (recorded as a decimal, in other words take the percent number and divide by 100) by 24 hours.
