Atomic number- The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom Atomic mass unit- The mass unit of (u) an isotope based on standard of the carbon –12 isotope, which is defined as a mass of exactly 12.00 u; one atomic mass unit is 1/12/ the mass of a carbon -12 atom. Atomic weight- average of the masses of stable isotopes of an element as they occur in nature, based on abundance of each isotopes of the element and the atomic mass of isotope compared to carbon -12 Electron shell- ism a setoff

Astronomy 2B03: Lecture 2: What’s Out There? * Objects in the universe come in a hierarchy of scales and sizes: * Planets * Stars * Galaxies * The universe as a whole * These scales are so different from one step to the next that they are incredibly hard to comprehend all at once – no “everyday” experience to refer them to * If the Earth were a basketball how big would the moon be? Tennis ball * How many Earths would fit into the Sun? ~ 1 million

Helicobacter pylori is a Gram negative, enveloped, spiral shaped (curved rod) bacterium that colonizes the stomach of humans[1]. The spiral shape, along with multiple flagella, allows for the bacterium to be very motile in the stomach, using a corkscrew motion to achieve motility[2]. H.pylori measures at 2 to 4 μm length wise, and 0.5 to 1 μm in width, and is slow growing, making is difficult to culture in a lab[1][2]. The cell structure of H.pylori is typical of other Gram negative bacteria, consisting

Atomic Mass as a Quasi-Periodic Trend Atomic mass is the mass of an atom, or the number of protons and neutrons in an atom. Every element on the Periodic Table has an atomic mass that is recorded as either an average decimal or a whole number. There are some numbers on the Periodic Table that show patterns or trends. When a pattern is present on the entire Periodic Table then it is called a Periodic Trend. If it is only present in a section or sections of the table it is a Quasi-Periodic Trend

each and every one of them. Every element is unique in their own way. Each have different amounts of protons and electrons, have different masses, and are in different states of matter. Sodium, Oxygen, and Carbon each have different components and different ways that they react with other elements. Sodium Sodium is the eleventh element on the periodic table of elements. This means it has 11 protons and 11 electrons. Its symbol is Na and has an atomic weight of 22, 9898. It’s a soft metal, and even

chemical energy in the form of ATP. In eukaryotic cells, the citric acid cycle occurs in the matrix of the mitochondrion. In prokaryotic cells, such as bacteria which lack mitochondria, the TCA reaction sequence is performed in the cytosol with the proton gradient for ATP production being across the cell's surface (plasma membrane) rather than the inner membrane of the
