16. Regarding chemical elements such as argon that are inert, which of the following statements is true?
A. They regularly lose several of their outer electrons when reacting.
B. They don't react with other elements to form compounds.
C. They have twice as many protons as electrons.
D. They easily react with other elements to form chemical bonds.

They don't react with other elements to form compounds.

Explanation:

Inert elements are elements that are unreactive in nature. For example, platinum.

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.

glacial erosion, the picking up and movement of earth beneath a glacier, is also referred to as plucking. erosion and transportation of individual pieces of bedrock, especially large "joint block occur as a result of this glacial erosion. plucking is type of erosion in which rocks become frozen into the bottom and sides of the glacier.as the glacier moves downhill it 'plucks' the rocks frozen into the glacier from the ground.
