Answer:

The answer is option a. The evaporation of water from the skin

Explanation:

An endothermic reaction is any synthetic reaction that retains heat from its environment. The ingested energy gives the enactment energy to the reaction to happen.

No new bonds formed, no bonds broken in this example. water molecules go from liquid to vapour (gas ), intermolecular bond exist between polar (-OH) molecules and energy is required to break these bonds during the change from liquid to gas. So, it is endothermic .

Remaining three above examples are exothermic. combustion of gas releases energy(exothermic). burninig of the candle exothermic because the energy released from the oxygen into carbon dioxide and water.oxidation of iron also exothermic

The small part of the nucleus where ribosomal subunit formation takes place
vaieri [72.5K]
The small part of the nucleus where ribosomal subunit formation takes place is called the nucleolus. This structure is found in eukaryotic cells and takes up about 25 percent of the volume of the nucleus. This structure is said to be the brain of the nucleus. It is made up of ribobucleic acids or the RNA and proteins. Its primary function is to transcript the ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and to combine these with the proteins resulting to the formation of an incomplete ribosome.  Since it is closely related to a chromosomal matter of a cell and important in the production of ribosome, this structure is correlated to be one of the cause of a number of diseases.
