Answer:

See explanation below

Explanation:

In this case, we need to see which is the structure of this compound. Now, racemization occurs basically because we are in an aqueous basic medium, and the ketone can reacts again with water in the medium to form the starting reagent.

First, the base will take out the Alpha hydrogen from the ketone, then, the negative charge goes down and opens up the carbonile group, forming a double bond in there. Later, with the water of the medium, it reacts and substract a proton, and then, with keto enolic equilibrium, forms again the ketone, but this ketone is different from the start, it will be the  R isomer which is not optically active.

See picture below for mechanism

Vilka [71]

Answer:

An Omnivore

Explanation: An <u>omnivore</u> is a kind of animal that eats either other animals or plants. Some omnivores will hunt and eat their food, like carnivores, eating herbivores and other omnivores. Some others are scavengers and will eat dead matter. Many will eat eggs from other animals.

Omnivores eat plants, but not all kinds of plants. Unlike herbivores, omnivores can't digest some of the substances in grains or other plants that do not produce fruit. They can eat fruits and vegetables, though. Some of the insect omnivores in this simulation are pollinators, which are very important to the life cycle of some kinds of plants.
