The process of oxidation is the loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state by a molecule, atom or ion and reduction is the gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation state. The oxidation number is the total number of electrons that an atom gains or loses in order to form a chemical bond with another atom. Redox reactions are electron transfer processes and include all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed.

Answer:Oxidation is the loss of electrons.

Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Oxidation increases the oxidation number.

Reduction decreases the oxidation number.

In an oxidation-reduction reaction, the electrons from the oxidized atom or ion are transferred to the atom or ion that is reduced.

What is the function of a lyase enzyme?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

c. To facilitate a reaction of one substrate to form two products without the use of water

Explanation:

A lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes - accelerates the chemical reaction - in which a substrate is broken into two molecules. The reaction does not involve hydrolysis or oxidation, so the water molecule is not included in the chemical reaction. Thus, the enzyme facilitates the reaction in which a molecule (substrate) is decomposed into two molecules with the elimination of chemical bonds.

Suppose the plates beneath Earth's surface stopped moving.What do you think would happen?Explain your answer.
Amanda [17]
There would be no more earthquakes or volcanic eruptions as the earth's plate are the cause of both these occurrences.(which can be seen as a positive)
However, the plates allow the earth to cool when they move because they cause heat loss.If the plates were to stop moving the earth would have to loose heat another way and since we cant tell how this would happen, it could be very dangerous.

What are the categories when earth is divided according to its chemical composition? ​
STALIN [3.7K]
The Earth is divided into three chemical layers: the Core [Inner Core (D) and Outer Core (C)], the Mantle (B) and the Crust (A). The Core is predominantly composed of iron and nickel. Even after 4.5 billion years of cooling, the Earth's core remains very hot.
