Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to __ or__ electrons when they react.

Lera25 [3.4K]2 years ago

Answer:Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to gain or share electrons when they react.

Explanation: Non-metals are elements that gain electron to form negatively charged ions known as anions.

When non-metals react, they either gain/accept electron from a metal atom or share electron with another non-metal atom. When a non-metal accepts an electron from a metal atom, the type of bond formed is called ionic or electrovalent bond. In electrovalent bond, the metal atom transfers its valence electrons to the non-metal atom so that both attain a stable octet or duplet structure.

When a non-metal shares electron with another non-metal atom, the type of bond formed is known as covalent bond. In covalent bond, the two non-metal atoms share a pair of electron, each atom donating one electron to form a pair.

The job of catalysts in chemical reactions is to make the reaction go faster by lowering the amount of energy needed to activate the reaction. If less energy is needed for the reaction to occur, then the reaction can go faster because a large energy build-up is not needed.

How is the process of carbon fixation in CAM plants different from the process in C3 and C4 plants? a. CAM plants require a larg
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be option C.

Plants evolved different methods to prevent or reduce the effects of photorespiration.

The C3 plants are the most common plants which do not have any special methods or physiology to prevent photorespiration.

The C4 are the plants in which carbon fixation and the Calvin cycle takes place in different cells. Carbon is fixed in the mesophyll cells with the help of PEP carboxylase enzyme. It fixes carbon and converts PEP into oxaloacetate. The Calvin cycle takes place in the bundle-sheath cells.

In contrast, CAM (Crassulacean acid metabolism) plants are those in which carbon fixation and Calvin cycle are separated into time. The carbon is fixed during the night as it helps in reducing the loss of water through transpiration.

The Calvin cycle takes place during the day time in the same cell, that is, mesophyll cell.

A protein kinase can phosphorylate an enzyme and activate it by
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Signal transduction

Explanation:

A signal molecule binds to a receptor.

A conformational change in the signal-receptor complex activates an enzyme.

Second messenger molecules are released.

Protein kinases are activated.

Target proteins are phosphorylated.can be defined as the process in which a physical or chemical signal is transmitted through a cell as a series of molecular events inform of protein phosphorylation are catalyzed by protein kinase and this ultimately result into a cellular response. However, the protein that is responsible for the detection of stimuli is commonly refers to as receptors or sensor.
