When sulfate (SO₄²⁻) serves as the electron acceptor at the end of a respiratory electron transport chain, the product is hydrogen sulfide (H₂S).

How sulfate acts as electon acceptor and electron donor?

  • Sulfate (SO₄²⁻) is used as the electron acceptor in sulfate reduction, which results in the production of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as a metabolic byproduct.
  • Many Gram negative bacteria identified in the -Proteobacteria use sulfate reduction, which is a rather energy-poor process.
  • Gram-positive organisms connected to Desulfotomaculum or the archaeon Archaeoglobus also utilise it.
  • Electron donors are needed for sulfate reduction, such as hydrogen gas or the carbon molecules lactate and pyruvate (organotrophic reducers) (lithotrophic reducers).

Which term can be used to describe the process in the reaction below? 2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g)
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Decomposition

Explanation:

If we look at the process;

2 NaHCO3 (s) → Na2CO3 (s) + H2O (g) + CO2 (g)

We can see that NaHCO3 was broken down into Na2CO3, H2O and CO2.

The breakdown of one compound to yield other chemical compounds is known as decomposition.

Hence the NaHCO3 was decomposed in the process above.

Goshia [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Mosquitoes transmit the virus as parasites which feed on the blood of host organisms and inject the virus during feeding.

Explanation:

According to the CDC, the seasonal West Nile virus is caused by the mosquitoes of freshwater transmit this disease to humans and others. These mosquitoes are feed on the birds and pick these viruses.

These viruses stick on mosquitoes and when they feed on the blood of humans they transmit these viruses by injecting viruses into the blood of humans.
