Answer:

<em>The correct option is C) OH</em>

Explanation:

In the field of chemistry, radicals can be described as atoms, molecules or ions which have at least one unpaired electron.

The formation of a radical occurs when a single covalent bond breaks so that each of the atoms that had been involved in the formation of the covalent bond can have an unpaired electron. Examples of radicals include OH, NH4+ etc.

Other option, like option B, is not true because a molecule of water does not have any unpaired electrons in its valence shell.

The rain forests of the world trap a large amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Every year, however, more rain forest is

IrinaVladis [17]

Carbondioxide, being a green house gas has the property of trapping the heat from the sunlight and thus increasing the temperature of the place. As more and more rain forests are cut down and burned, there is an increase in this green house gas in the atmosphere thus leading to a steady increase in the temperatures.

As we look at the graphs that are given, we can see that the graph C shows the steady increase in the temperature as the time passes. Hence option C is the right answer

During which process is ethanol produced?

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Alcohol fermentation

Explanation:

When oxygen availability is low, the cell can't perform aerobic respiration to breakdown glucose. Instead, anaerobic respiration must be performed. This occurs in cells which consume large amounts of energy, such as muscle cells. Anaerobic respiration produces much less energy than aerobic respiration

One type of anaerobic respiration formed by yeast is called alcohol fermentation (also called ethanol fermentation). This begins with glycolysis, where one molecule of glucose is broke down into 2 molecules of pyruvate. The energy from this reaction generates 2 molecules of ATP, and converts NAD+ to NADH.

Then, the two molecules of pyruvate are further broke down into 2 acetaldehydes (releasing two molecules of carbon dioxide as a by-product). These two molecules of acetaldehyde are then converted into tw molecules of ethanol, using the H ions from NADH, converting it back to NAD+. See the attached picture

This process is taken advantage of to brew beer and wine.
