What term is used to describe splitting a large atomic nucleus into two smaller ones?
nuclear fission
What is a characteristic of a radioactive nucleus?
A characteristic of a radioactive nucleus is that it undergoes spontaneous decay, emitting radiation in the form of alpha particles, beta particles, or gamma rays in order to achieve a more stable configuration.
What do bacteria and archaea have in common in terms of their cellular structure and genetic makeup?
Bacteria and archaea are both single-celled microorganisms that lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They both have a simple cellular structure and their genetic makeup is composed of a single circular chromosome. Additionally, they both have a cell wall that provides structure and protection.
Describe the inner contents of the nucleus?
The nucleus contains the cell's genetic material in the form of chromosomes, which consist of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones. It also contains the nucleolus, where ribosomal RNA is produced, as well as the nucleoplasm, a semi-fluid substance that surrounds the nucleus. Additionally, the nucleus is surrounded by a double membrane called the nuclear envelope, which contains nuclear pores that regulate the passage of molecules in and out of the nucleus.
Who coined the term nucleus?
The term is confusingly used for both atoms and cells, and are only alike in their locations.In atomic structure, the word was applied in the modern sense in 1912 by Ernest Rutherford, from his experiment that showed a very small solid mass within each atom. The word was used as early as 1844 by Michael Faraday to mean the center of an atom. The word nucleus means 'kernel' which was another term used to describe the central mass, and which was still used for several years after Rutherford's experiments.In cytology, the term 'lumen' for a cell nucleus was used by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek around 1676. In 1831, Scottish botanist Robert Brown used the terms 'aerola' and 'nucleus' to describe the darker spots he saw within orchid cells.
What is a structure in the cell containing information that determines characteristics?
The nucleus holds DNA, which is the chemical makeup of the cell.
Where does the nucleus get its positive charge from?
The quarks that makeup the protons.
How do you describe what is eukaryatic?
A eukaryatic cell is a cell with a nucleus.
What is one word to describe a nucleus?
controller
Where would you find a nucleus in a city?
The term nucleus is used to describe the center of something, usually an atom or a cell; it could be used to describe the center of a city as well.
Describe the location of protons neutrons and electrons in relation ton the nucleus?
Protons and neutrons are placed in the atomic nucleus; electrons are around the nucleus.
How may nucleus are in hydrogen?
There is only one nucleus in the atom hydrogen because it is a single element. It isn't a compound therefor it only has one nucleus to its makeup. There is only one nucleus in all atoms. The nucleus is the center of an atom. It holds the protons and neutrons of the atom while the electrons orbit the nucleus in the electron cloud.
How would you describe the nucleus of sodium?
A nucleus having 11 protons and 12 neutrons is a sodium nucleus, no of neutrons may differ in case of isotopes.
How do you describe atoms?
Atoms have a Nucleus, Protons, Nuetrons, Electrons!
How can the model of the nuclear atom be describe?
a nucleus in an electron cloud.
How does the atomic number describe the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom?
The atomic number is equal to the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom.
Describe the contents of a nucleus during interphase?
nucleolus, RNA, DNA
