TRUE

Vitamins are organic compounds and they undergo chemical changes in the metabolism to form new compounds or elements.

On the other hand, minerals are elements, which cannot suffer chemical changes. To change minerals should change the atoms, which is not possible and would not be a chemical change.

Which of the following is unchanged at the end of the CNO cycle?

Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The correct option is: A. carbon-12

Explanation:

The CNO cycle, the abbreviation for the carbon-nitrogen-oxygen cycle, is a catalytic cycle by which the stars produce helium from elemental hydrogen, via a series of nuclear fusion reactions.

This cycle involves the fusion of four protons with carbon ( $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ ), nitrogen isotope ( $_{7}^{13}\textrm{N}$ ), and oxygen isotope ( $_{8}^{15}\textrm{O}$ ), to give an alpha particle and two electron neutrinos and positrons.

The reaction involves the regeneration of carbon ( $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ ) nucleus in the last step.

$_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$ → $_{7}^{13}\textrm{N}$ → $_{6}^{13}\textrm{C}$ → $_{7}^{14}\textrm{N}$ → $_{8}^{15}\textrm{O}$ → $_{7}^{15}\textrm{N}$ → $_{6}^{12}\textrm{C}$

How do CFC’s illustrate that technical advances can be a “double-edged” sword?

hram777 [196]

Answer:

CFC’s illustrate that technical advances can be a “double-edged” sword as CFC's were made for the advantages but soon or later it came as a disadvantage for environment.

CFC's was discovered with many advantages such as they are stable, non-corrosive, and replacement of harmful ammonia used in refrigerators and air conditioning systems. But soon it is also discovered that CFC's are destroying the upper atmosphere layer called ozone, which is a very big disadvantage for us. CFCs are major contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide.

Hence, it proves that CFC’s shows how technological advancement can be “double-edged” sword.
