What is a direct consequence of the number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nuceuls?

Number of proton = atom number
for example:
Hydrogen has 1 proton and its atom number is also 1
Number of neutrons + number of protons = mass number
for example:
Hydrogen have 1 proton and and NO neutrons, so the mass number is 1
Helium has 2 protons and and 2 neutrons, so the mass number is 4

What is the direct source of Energy ATP synthesis used to synthesize ATP?
Energy released from movement of protons through ATP synthase energy released from movement of protons through ATP synthase is the most direct source of energy in this case.
What is The neutron-to-proton ratio for the isotope sodium?
That depends on which isotope of sodium you are talking about. Sodium always has 11 protons. The atomic mass of sodium is about 23, meaning there are, on average, 12 neutrons, so the average neutron to proton ratio for sodium is 12:11.
Do protons travel through an electric circuit at or near the speed of light?
Electricity, this may be electrons in a direct current. In an alternating current the electrons stay where they are and it is only the energy that moves between electrons.
What are the major roles of the nucleus and what parts of the nucleus carry out these roles?
functions:1: One of its functions is to store the cell's hereditary material, or DNA2: The other function is it coordinates activities, including growth and reproduction (cell division).Structures:nuclear envelope with pores, nucleolus (site of ribosome production), nucleoplasm, and chromatin (genetic material)
What role does neutrons play in fission?
In nuclear fission an atom is broken up into two or more new particles. Sometimes this happens all by itself, but when we want it to happen more rapidly we use a critical assembly of fissile fuel and a moderator, which multiplies the neutron flux. The moderator slows down the neutrons produced in each fission which can then cause further fissions, resulting in a chain reaction. Each fission also releases energy as heat. The chain reaction is controlled at a steady level by control rods which absorb neutrons.

What is the relationship between the atomic number the mass and the number of neutrons and protons in an atom?
Glad you asked. Pull up a chair and we'll tackle this one. We need to do a little review before we confront the isotope issue. Ready? Then let's have at it. An atom is an atom, but it becomes a particular element when we know the number of protons in its nucleus. Each element has a unique number of protons in its nucleus, and that is what determines what element it is. Hydrogen has one, helium has two, etc. But the kicker is that, though each element has a specific number of protons, it can have different number of neutrons in the nucleus of one of its atoms and still be that element. Same element (same number of protons), but different numbers of neutrons. Different atomic configurations of a given element are called isotopes of that element. Take helium for example. It has two protons (which is what makes it helium), but it can appear with one or with two neutrons. Each of these is an isotope of helium, and each one is stable, meaning it will not spontaneously undergo any atomic transformation. One other thing is that there are about a million atoms of He-4 for every atom of He-3. There are other isotopes of helium with three, four and more neutrons, but these are artifically made and are unstable. They will decay in a fairly short time. Now we've covered isotopes. The mass number (or atomic mass number or nucleon number) is simply the number of protons plus the number of neutrons in an atom. That's all. If we talk about, say, an atom of U-235, which is a fissionable isotope of uranium, the 235 is the atomic mass number. The element uranium has the atomic number 92, which means that there are 92 protons in its nucleus. If we subtract that 92 from the 235, we get 143 as a result, and that will be the number of neutrons in the nucleus of that isotope of 92U. Simple and easy. One more example. Carbon has an atomic number of 6, and carbon-14 has 14 minus 6 = 8 neutrons in it. Now you've got the scoop on isotopes, mass numbers and neutron counts.

Is Food Science an applied science or pure science?
Food Science is considered an applied science because it involves the practical application of scientific principles to study and improve food production, safety, and quality. This field focuses on solving real-world problems related to food processing, preservation, and nutrition.

How many protons neutrons and electrons are there in an oxygen atom?
Oxygen has a mass number of 16.00 with atomic number 8 which means there are 8 electrons and 8 protons. The number of neutrons is always equal to the mass number- the atomic number. In this case it is 16 - 8= 8. Protons: 8 Neutrons: 8 (for isotope O16 the most common) Electrons: 8
What is the direct source of Energy ATP synthesis used to synthesize ATP?
Energy released from movement of protons through ATP synthase energy released from movement of protons through ATP synthase is the most direct source of energy in this case.
