Five friends looked at a piece of aluminum foil. They wondered what they would see if they could see inside an atom of aluminum.

This is what they said: Jeb: I think it would look like a tiny, dense ball with tiny particles tightly packed inside it. Jane: I think there would be a tiny, dense center surrounded by a lot of empty space where some particles are whizzing around. Hal: I think there would be a large center made up mostly of empty space wit particles whizzing around in it. It would be surrounded by a dense shell. Pick the friend that you agree with and explain why you agree. Be sure to include the friends' name and factual information to back up your explanation. Attachments

The answer is; Jane would be right.

The atom was discovered be more of empty space. The mass of an atom is mainly attributed to the mass of the nucleus which occupies a very small fraction of the size of the atom. The nucleus is Located in the center surrounded by orbiting electrons.  

The Geiger–Marsden experiment, where alpha particles are accelerated onto a thin aluminum foil proved this theory by Ernest Rutherford. Some of the particles were deflected by the foil and this was attributed to the dense nucleus of the aluminum atoms in the foil. The other particles passed through because most of the atoms are made of empty space.

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Malignant melanoma cells would have active telomerases that constantly replenish and lengthen telomeres.

Explanation:

Telomerase can be described as enzymes which add the repetitive sequences called telomeres at the end of a chromosome. Telomeres can be described as repetitive sequences at the end of the chromosome which are involved in protecting the chromosome from any damage.

In a normal skin cell, the telomeres will shorten with time. But in a malignant skin cell, the telomerase will add the repetitive sequence again and again. The telomers will not be able to shorten.

Darya [45]

Not sure if I'm correct but my best guess is the cell membrane seeing as it surrounds the cell itself and is responsible for allowing certain molecules to diffuse in or out of the cell. Good Luck! :)
