Final answer:

All numbers between 0 to 255 can be represented in binary code using 8 bits or 1 byte, as the binary system allows for any integer within this range.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks if there is a number between 0 and 255 that cannot be represented in binary code. In binary, every number in this range can indeed be represented using 8 bits (or 1 byte). This is because binary is a base-2 numbering system, which means that each place value represents a power of 2, allowing for the representation of any integer within the given range of a byte. The smallest number, 0, is represented as 00000000, and the largest, 255, is 11111111. Each position, when filled with a 1, represents the values 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1, respectively. By combining these values, you can make any number from 0 to 255.
