Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure. A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable

Which of these half-reactions represents reduction?

gogolik [260]

Answer: The half-reactions represents reduction are as follows.

$Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}$
$MnO^{-}_{4} \rightarrow Mn^{2+}$

Explanation:

A half-reaction where addition of electrons take place or a reaction where decrease in oxidation state of an element takes place is called reduction-half reaction.

For example, the oxidation state of Cr in $Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7}$ is +6 which is getting converted into +3, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.

$Cr_{2}O^{2-}_{7} + 3 e^{-} \rightarrow Cr^{3+}$

Similarly, oxidation state of Mn in $MnO^{-}_{4}$ is +7 which is getting converted into +2, that is, decrease in oxidation state is taking place as follows.
