Answer: A
Explanation: the use of energy is a characteristic that distinguishes a fire from a flowering plant.
A substance that releases hydroxyl ions in water is a base. Acids on the other hand release hydrogen ions when dissolved in water, while salts release sodium. To define acids and bases the Arrhenius definition is used by scientists---this describes what substances are produce by each type of solutions. Under the Arrhenius definition salt and water can be used to predict the result of the neutralization of an acid with a base.
In Chemistry, Bronsted-Lowry definition has superseded the Arrehenius definition.
In aerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is oxygen. It accepts two electrons and a molecule of water is formed as a by product.
In anaerobic respiration, the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain is pyruvate. Anaerobic respiration commonly occurs in the muscle tissue of animals as a result of intense activity or exertion. Pyruvate is used as makeshift electron acceptor in place of oxygen and is reduced or converted to lactic acid.
