To find for the oxidizing agent, first let us write the
half reactions of this complete chemical reaction:
Ca = Ca2+ + 2e- <span>
2 H+ + 2e- = H2</span>
The oxidizing agent
would be the substance of the element that is reduced. We know that an element
is reduced when an electron is added to it. In this case, the element being
reduced is H. Therefore the oxidizing agent is HNO3.
Answer:
<span>HNO3</span>

Answer: D) all of the above</h3>
Explanation:
The lungs pump oxygen in and carbon dioxide out, which goes through the blood stream to help with the cell's energy needs.
Nutrients pass through the blood stream as well. The nutrients start with the digestive system (mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine) before going into the blood stream. The nutrients are building blocks to help make new cells when old ones die off.
When those cells die off, the body sheds them like dead skin, but internal dead cells are passed off as waste. This waste and other byproducts the body doesn't need passes through the blood stream as well.
In short, the blood stream is basically the highway to help get desired materials (eg: oxygen and nutrients) and get rid of waste (eg: carbon dioxide and other unwanted byproducts or dead cell material)
So that's why the answer includes A, B and C.
