The role of oxygen in cellular respiration is to make water molecules. hence, option (D) is correct.

<h3>What is Cellular respiration ?</h3>

Cellular respiration is the process in which cells break down molecules for energy.

The cells use oxygen to break down food in the form of glucose to produce water and release carbon dioxide.

During aerobic cellular respiration, glucose reacts with oxygen, forming ATP that can be used by the cell. Carbon dioxide and water are created as byproducts.

In this reaction, energy is produced in the form of ATP that is used by the cell for its various activities.

Thus the correct answer is option D.

When did oxygen first appear in earth's atmosphere??

ad-work [718]

<span> the atmosphere holds about 21 per cent oxygen. Over the Earth’s 4.6 billion year history, oxygen did not appear in the atmosphere until perhaps about 2.5 billion years ago. Since then, oxygen levels have fluctuated in tandem with global geological and biological events, such as mass extinctions.</span>

Suppose you were preparing 1.0 L of a bleaching solution in a volumetric flask, and it calls for 0.21 mol of NaOCl. If all you h

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

0.256 L

Explanation:

We should use the following formula:

concentration (1) × volume (1) = concentration (2) × volume (2)

concentration (1) = 0.82 M NaOCl

volume (1) = ?

concentration (2) = 0.21 M NaOCl

volume (2) = 1 L

volume (1) = [concentration (2) × volume (2)] / concentration (1)

volume (1) = [0.21 / 1] / 0.82 = 0.256 L

A buffer solution is composed of 7.50 mol of acid and 4.75 mol of the conjugate base. If the pKa of the acid is 4.90 , what is t

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is: pH= 4.70

Explanation:

We use the <em>Henderson-Hasselbach equation</em> in order to calculate the pH of a buffer solution:

$pH= pKa + log \frac{ [conjugate base]}{[acid]}$

Given:

pKa= 4.90

[conjugate base]= 4.75 mol

[acid]= 7.50 mol

We calculate pH as follows:

pH = 4.90 + log (4.75 mol/7.50 mol) = 4.90 + (-0.20) = 4.70

Which of these bonds is the weakest?

Olenka [21]

Answer:

The first one has the weakest bond

Explanation:

The number of atoms together shows how strong the bonds in the second bond it is 4 bonds, the third is 8 bonds, the 4th one is 4 bonds thus why the first bond is the weakest.
