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

maksim [4K]

After staring at a blue light for a few minutes, Yoko shifts her gaze to a white wall and experiences an afterimage in the color yellow. Yoko's experience provides support for the opponent-process theory of color vision.
The opponent-process theory is proposed by
color vision. This model was first proposed in 1878 by Ewald Hering and states that when one emotion (in this case : color) is experienced, the other is suppressed. In Yoko's case she experiences (looked) the blue color long enough to supres the white color,

Part a - identifying the processes of replication, gene expression, and recombination this activity requires that you correctly

Naddika [18.5K]

I found the exercise on the internet with the images and brief descriptions. Attached is an image of it.

To the DNA replication bin:
-Image of one cell dividing into two cells, and the mother cell has its DNA being unfolded and replicated.
-"DNA -> 2DNA (copying one DNA molecule to make two identical DNA molecules)"

To the gene expression bin:
-Image of only one cell with some arrows within it indicating the gene expression flow: DNA -> mRNA -> protein
-"DNA->mRNA->protein"
-"transcription"
-"translation"

To the recombination bin:
-Image with two cells being one the donor and the other one the recipient. The recipient has DNA with different colours pretending to represent that its DNA has different origins.
-"transformation"
-"conjugation"
-"transduction"
