What are the reactants for oxidation reaction?

1 answer:

6 0

The reactant that brings about the oxidation is called the oxidising agent, and that reagent is itself reduced by the reducing agent.

Oxidation occurs when a reactant loses electrons during the reaction. Reduction occurs when a reactant gains electrons during the reaction. This often occurs when metals are reacted with acid.

Oxidation is loss of electrons (OIL RIG). Therefore, an oxidising agent takes electrons from that other substance. Therefore, an oxidising agent must gain electrons.

Oxidation happens when an atom loses one or more electrons during a chemical reaction, meaning that its oxidation number increases. This is because the atom loses the negative charge of the electron, which is similar to gaining a positive charge, increasing the oxidation number.

On which cell types do antibodies exist as transmembrane proteins?

Kamila [148]

I believe that on the Naive B-cell the antibodies exist as transmembrane proteins. A naive b-cell is a type of b-cell that has not been exposed to an antigen. When exposed it becomes either a memory B cell or a plasma cell that secrete antibodies specific to the antigen that was originally bound.

What is this desert biome composed of? Select all that apply.

Nat2105 [25]

This biome has a layer of soil that can either be sandy, gravelly, or stony, depending on the type of desert. Deserts usually get at most 50 centimeters (20 inches) of rainfall a year, and the organisms that live in deserts are adapted to this extremely dry climate. Plants in deserts have adaptations to conserve water.
