10. How many protons are in an element with an atomic number of 6 and a mass number of 12?
A 18
B 12
C 10
D 6

d-6

The element carbon (C) has an atomic number of 6, which means that all neutral carbon atoms contain 6 protons and 6 electrons. In a typical sample of carbon-containing material, 98.89% of the carbon atoms also contain 6 neutrons, so each has a mass number of 12

Explanation:

Protons and neutrons are always equal The element here is a Carbon molecule. The answer here is D 6

these muscles maintain the blood pressure in the vessels. the smooth muscles are innervated by nerves of the autonomic nervous system. when the muscles contract, they cause vasoconstriction of the vessels and increase blood pressure. when the muscles relax, they enable vasodilation of the   blood vessels hence reduce blood pressure.
