The Three Types of Subatomic Particles Pertinent to the Study

Question

The three types of subatomic particles pertinent to the study of biology are
A)electrons, protons, and neutrinos.
B)electrons, positrons, and neutrons.
C)electrons, protons, and neutrons.
D)electrons, photons, and neutrons.
E)quarks, photons, and gravitons.

Accepted Answer

Electrons, protons, and neutrons are the three subatomic particles that form atoms, which are the building blocks of all biological matter. Electrons are negatively charged and orbit the nucleus, which contains positively charged protons and neutral neutrons. These subatomic particles determine the chemical and physical properties of biological molecules and drive chemical reactions in living systems. Positrons and neutrinos are not pertinent to the study of biology, and photons and gravitons are not subatomic particles.
