In a carbon dioxide molecule (O=C=O), which statement is true of the electrons?

Biology
1 answer:
Svetllana [295]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Option A.

The electrons are being shared between the carbon and oxygen atoms.

Explanation:The electrons are being shared between the carbon and oxygen atoms because each oxygen share four electrons with the central carbon, therefore carbon atoms have 8 electrons that is shared with oxygen. The oxygen have two shared pairs in double bond and two lone pairs in non bonding. Carbon and oxygen form covalent bond. This satisfies the octet rule because the electrons are shared in both oxygen and carbon octet.

In a carbon dioxide molecule (O=C=O),

Why is the calvin-benson cycle also known as the carbon-fixation cycle?
myrzilka [38]
This is because the primary function of this stage is the fixation of carbon. which involves making simple sugars from carbon dioxide and water. It involves addition of inorganic carbon (carbon dioxide) to an organic molecule or molecules by plants, this occurs during the light independent stage reaction of photosynthesis and is the first step in the Calvin cycle.

Label the drawing to the right
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The three processes from left to right are:

<u>Replication</u>   DNA  <u>Trancription</u>  RNA  <u>Translation</u> Protein

Explanation:

The process in question in the diagram is called the central dogma of life which describes the flow of genetic information from DNA to RNA to Protein. The three processes involved are:

  1. DNA Replication
  2. Transcription
  3. Translation

DNA Replication:

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself. Replication of DNA is semi-conservative. this means that each new helix is a combination of an old (parent) strands and a new (daughter strand). The parental strand is used as a template to generate a complementary daughter strand.

Transcription:

Transcription is the formation of an RNA transcript of the DNA template. This process yields a mRNA that is further used as a code to manufacture proteins in the process of translation.

Translation:

Translation decodes the mRNA formed in transcription to generate proteins with specific amino acid sequence.

What is the thing that represents mitosis?<br>(and it has to be a living thing)​
goldfiish [28.3K]

In plant cells, the first part of mitosis is the same as in animal cells. (Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase). Then, where an animal cell would go through cytokineses, a plant cell simply creates a new cell plate in the middle, creating two new cells.

Which of the following is the term used to describe a body resistance to change in motion
bija089 [108]
<span>Inertia refers to a body or any physical object’s resistance to a change in motion. This change in motion includes, speed, direction, or state of rest. Objects that have moved will keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity. Inertia is one of the fundamental principles of classical physics, for it describes motions of objects and how they are affected when forces are applied on them. Inertia is one of Isaac Newton laws from Philosophia Naturalis Principia Mathematica. </span>
