Part A: Water molecules are polar, meaning that they are neutrally charged overall, but with partial positive charges on the H atoms and a partial negative charge on the O atom. Thus, polar molecules like the salt, are like the water, neutrally charged and its ions interact with both the partially positive and partially negative parts of the H2O molecules.

Part B: In a dissolution of salt in water, the solvent is the water and solute is the salt. Solvent is a substance that allows the dispersion of another substance in itself, like the water in this solution. A solute is a substance that can be dissolved, dispersed in a solvent.

Allotropy

Explanation:

Allotropy is existence of a chemical element in two or more different states. When an element exists in more than one physical state, they are said to be allotropes.

Many different substances exhibits allotropy and it largely impacts their physical state.

Carbon has two main allotropes; graphite and diamond. Graphite is a soft substance and can easily be broken. Diamond is the hardest natural substance that is known.

36. What metabolic pathway is depicted below?
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Anaerobic respiration or fermentation

Explanation:

The metabolic pathway shown in the question is the summary of anaerobic respiration (fermentation) during which pyruvate is converted to acetaldehyde, followed by the formation of alcohol (ethanol), along with the release of NADH and NAD molecules. This mechanism occurs in the absence of oxygen and is thus used by organisms to generate energy (ATP) molecules.
