When an atom or molecule gains one or more electrons, it is said to beA. reducedB. polarizedC. oxidizedD. energized

Ƒ An atom that gains one or more electronswill have a NEGATIVE charge. ƒ An atom that loses one or more electrons will have a POSTIVE charge. ƒ An atom that gains or losesone or more electrons is called an ION. ƒ A positive ion is called a CATION and a negative ion is called an ANION.

From this information above you can see its negative so it means it gets reduced
hope it helped

In this reaction the lead atoms gain anelectron (reduction) while the oxygen loses electrons (oxidation). Magnesium loses electrons and is therefore said to be "oxidized", whereas the chlorines gain electrons and are said to be reduced
and as you can see oxidation only happens when oxygen is reduced

(Earth and Space) (Please Help!!!) Which type of graph most clearly shows how a part, or percentage, relates to the whole? a lin

MatroZZZ [7]

The graph which will more clearly show the way a particular or percentage is related to the whole between he bar and circle graph will be the circle graph.

In a circle graph, the different percentages or part add up together to make the whole. This helps in relating any particular part with others and with the whole graph as well. circle graph is the best way to show the relations between a part and the whole.

Hence, the correct answer is 'circle graph'.

5. What are the genotypes and phenotypes of the F1 generation snapdragons?

Elza [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The phenotypes of snapdragons of F1 generation had pink flowers only.

Explanation:

The crossing of snapdragon with red flowers and white flowers as well led to the production of F1 offspring of hybrid quality having pink flowers only. This F1 phenotype under goes pollination and results in F2 phenotype with a ratio of 1 red, 1 white and 2 pink flower.

This is incomplete dominance as the phenotypes of parental plant, as in the white and red flowered plant reappear in the F2 generation.

What is the function of a cell’s selectively permeable plasma membrane?

salantis [7]

<h2>The correct answer is explained below:</h2>

Explanation:

The plasma membrane of a cell is selectively permeable.
This means that the membrane specifically allows only certain molecules to move across it from the interior of the cell to the exterior or from the exterior of the cell to the interior.
The functions of such selective permeability of the membrane are:

It allows only those polar or non polar molecules or ions to traverse them and enter into the cell which are necessary for the cell metabolism or other functions of the cell.
It removes those ions or molecules from the cell interior to the cell exterior which are not necessary for the cells.
It prevents the movement of essential cellular components like non-polar or polar molecules, ions, amino acids, fatty acids, or carbohydrates from the cell interior to the cell exterior.
It prevents the movement of those molecules from the cell exterior to the cell interior which are not essential for the cell functioning.
