How do plants store glucose?

1 answer:

4 0

The model of photosynthesis used by biologists begins when chlorophyll splits a water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen from the water is a waste product that is released as a gas. In later stages of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide from the air and hydrogen from the water unite to form glucose. Photosynthesis usually takes place in the leaves of green plants. The food produced is a simple sugar called glucose. Some of the food made during photosynthesis is used by plants for their growth and development. The rest is stored in the plant.

Classify the following reactions: HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)→NaCl(aq)+H2O(l) Ba(OH)2(aq)+ZnCl2(aq)→BaCl2(a

Savatey [412]

The reactions are

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Ba(OH)2(aq) + ZnCl2(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + Zn(OH)2(s)

2AgNO3(aq) + Mg(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

Answer:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) = Acid-base reaction

Ba(OH)2(aq) + ZnCl2(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + Zn(OH)2(s) = Precipitation reaction

2AgNO3(aq) + Mg(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s) = Redox reaction

Explanation:

HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) .

The reaction above is an example of an acid-base reaction. Acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base. The product is usually a salt and water. An acid dissolves in water to produce H+ ion. Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid as it is completely dissociated in water. A base dissolves in water to form hydroxide ion(OH-). The sodium hydroxide is a strong base as it completely dissociate in water. The reaction between a base and an acid can be known as a neutralization reaction.

Ba(OH)2(aq) + ZnCl2(aq) → BaCl2(aq) + Zn(OH)2(s)

The reaction above is a precipitation reaction. Precipitation reaction is a reaction where two ionic bonds or cations and anions in an aqueous solution react to form an insoluble salts. The insoluble salt formed is known as the precipitate. The reaction above is an example of a double replacement reaction. From the equation the ions replace each other depending on the cations and anions. They switch partners as both reactants lose their partners to form new partnership with a different ion. The two reactants ( Ba(OH)2 and ZnCl2 ) are aqueous solution, they react to from a solid precipitates( Zn(OH)2(s) ).

2AgNO3(aq) + Mg(s) → Mg(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

The reaction is known as an oxidation-reduction reaction(Redox reaction). A oxidation-reduction reaction their is a transfer of electron(s) between two species. The oxidation number of a chemical reaction changes by losing or gaining electrons. One of the reactant is a reducing agent and the other is an oxidizing agent.

From the reaction Mg is the reducing agent and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agents.

2 Ag+ + 2 e- → 2 Ag∧0 (reduction)

Mg∧0 - 2 e- → Mg²+ (oxidation)

500.0 mL of a gas is collected at 745.0 mm Hg. what what will the volume be at standard pressure

Irina-Kira [14]

This is an application of Boyle's law:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂. we don't have to convert volume and pressure to standard forms. we can even use the pressure with mmHg
1 atm = 760 mmHg
V₂ = P₁V₁ / P₂ = 745 x 500 / 760 = 490 ml
Note that here we assume constant temperature

Which of the following characteristics describes aerobic organisms.

horsena [70]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Aerobic organisms are the organisms which survive and grow in the presence of oxygen.

When oxidation of glucose occurs in the presence of oxygen then it is known as aerobic respiration.

In aerobic respiration, food releases energy to produce ATP which is necessary for cell activity. There is complete breakdown of glucose in aerobic respiration that is why more energy is released. Therefore, aerobic organisms become active.

Thus, we can conclude that characteristics very active, efficient use of energy describes aerobic organisms.

Which of these best explains why a paper clip can float on water? A)Water has a very high specific heat.

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The answer is d. water molecules near the surface produce more buoyant force than water molecules within the liquid

Explanation: Surface tension is defined as the attraction on the water of like particles to one another. Water molecules on a surface undergoes cohesion or the sticking together of one molecule to another of the same material.

In Chapter 1 of Astrobiology, A Very Short Introduction, the author talks about some properties of one element in particular tha

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Carbon

Explanation:

Carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, so it generally shares it in a covalent bond. This element needs four electrons to be stable, so it can form single (such as the bond with hydrogen), double (such as the bond with oxygen) or triple bonds (such as the bond with nitrogen).

It can also form bonds with other carbon, and they can form longs chains, that's why there are a lot of organic compounds (the compounds with carbon). Carbon can form rings too, such as in benzene.
