Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Lewis dot structures are the structures which represent the valance electrons of an element forming a compound. The electrons are represented as the dots.

In a compound, the bonded electrons are represented as a bond and lone pair of electrons are represented as dots.

In $NH_2^-$ compound,

Electronic configuration of Nitrogen: $1s^22s^2p^3$

Valence electrons in nitrogen = 5

Electronic configuration of hydrogen: $1s^1$

Valence electrons in hydrogen = 1

In the given compound, bond pairs are 2 which means number of electrons bonded are 4.

Unbonded electrons left on nitrogen will be 3 and this compound has an extra electron because of the negative charge present on the compound. Hence, total unbonded electrons present on this compound will be 4.

Therefore, the lewis dot structure will be Option D.

D. The total number of valence electrons is 8 and D represents that. D also correctly uses the octet rule for N and duet rule for H.

During cellular respiration, plants take in _______ from the air and break down stored _______.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

During cellular respiration, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and break down stored glucose.

Explanation:

Before cellular respiration takes place in a plant, photosynthesis occurs and absorbs sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. The process then produces oxygen and glucose, which are needed as the reactants for cellular respiration. Cellular respiration will break down the stored glucose to make energy to produce carbon dioxide and water. Then the cycle repeats itself.

What is the fate of glucose 6‑phosphate, glycolytic intermediates, and pentose phosphate pathway intermediates in this cell? Gly

madreJ [45]

Answer:

The Phosphorylated glucose(glucose +inorganic phosphate), with the energy supplied from ATP hydrolysis formed glucose 6- phosphate, which is later converted to 2 molecules of fructose 6-phosphate- this is phosphorylation.And represented the fate of glucose -6-phosphate.

The fructose 6-phosphate are converted to triose phosphate- which is a 2-molecules of 3C compound. The latter is oxidized by NAD→ NADH+ to form intermediates in the glycolytic pathways .

These intermediates are converted to ribose 5-phosphates in the presence of transketolase and transaldolase enzymes.And they are finally converted to pyruvate in the glycolytic pathway with the production of 2ATPs per molecule of glucose.

Basically the phosphate pathway reaction is very slow due to enzyme catalysis.

a skateboarder wants to skate down the ramp at a skate park he will want the forces acting on him to be

kvasek [131]

Answer:

increase

Explanation:

At the skate park when a skateboarder wants to skate down a ramp, the skate boarder wishes to move faster and with speed so that it help him to skate more time. This can only be achieved if the all the forces acting on him will increase as he skates down the ramp without much of the frictional force acting on the wheels of the skate board. The less friction force acts on the wheel, the more he can skate with more speed.

Thus, the skateboarder wants the force to be increase that is acting on him.
