Paper burns by combining with oxygen. why doesnt paper burn every time it contacts oxygen

Biology
1 answer:
kozerog [31]3 years ago
4 0
When a fire is lit, it releases CO2 which will allow the combustion reaction to occur. When a fire is lit, energy is being emitted causing the paper to burn in contact with oxygen. The paper doesn't light up when in usual contact with oxygen because there's not energy fueling the reaction to occur.

Which one of the following nucleotide pairs would be found in a DNA molecule?
MrRa [10]

Guanine-cytosine is one of the  nucleotide pairs that would be found in a DNA molecule. The other is Adenine- Thiamine.

Explanation:

Pyrine bases – Adenine & Guanine-  pair with pyrimidines bases – Cytosine and Thiamine. Adenine pairs with Thiamine while Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

In RNA, however, while this same principle of base pairing is observed, rather than Thinmaine, RNA has Uracil in its place. Therefore, in RNA, Adenine pairs with Uracil. There is no Thiamine in RNA.

Two species of frogs belonging to the same genus occasionally mate, but the embryos stop developing after a day and then die. th
allsm [11]
These two frog species separate by reduced hybrid viability. In reduced hybrid viability gene of different parent species may interact and impair the hybrid's development while in a reduced hybrid fertility a viable individual is sterile often due to the inability to produce normal gametes in meiosis. Hybrid breakdown; the first generation are viable and fertile, but when they mate the offspring are feeble and sterile.

When NADH is the electron donor to the respiratory chain, 2.5 ATP are formed, but when FADH2 is the electron donor, only 1.5 ATP
Fofino [41]

Answer:NADH donates it electron to complex I a higher energy level than other complexes while FADH donates it electron to complex II a lower energy complex.

Explanation:

Both NADH and FADH are shuttle of high energy electrons originally extracted from food into the inner mitochondrial membrane.

NADH donate it electron to a flavoprotein consisting of FMN prosthetic group and an iron-sulphur protein in ETC complex-I. Two electrons and one hydrogen ion are are transferred from NADH to the flavin prosthetic group of the enzyme.

While the electrons from FADH2 enters the ETC (electron transport chain) at the level of co-enzyme Q (complex II). This step does not librate enough energy to act as a proton pump.

So NADH produces 2.5 ATP during the ETC and oxidative phosphorylation because it donates its electron to Complex I, which pump more electrons across the membrane than other complexes.

In phase-contrast microscopy, the differences in refractive indices between organisms and their environments are utilized for be
mina [271]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In  phase-contrast objective and a phase contrast optical systems is equipped with Light microscope  .

Phase contrast microscope is used to differentiate unstained structures in a cell  that differ in refractive indices and thickness. Thus it is usefull for examining  living unstained organisms.

Light that passed through materials of different refractive index and/or thickness will undergo a change in Phase. The difference in phase or wave front irregularities cause variation in brightness of the structures.

Hoping this might help!!!
