There are choices for this question namely:

<span>A. triglycerides
B. glucose
C. LDL
D. HDL

The correct answer is "LDL" or low density lipoproteins. Low density lipoproteins, also known as "bad cholesterol" are the one responsible for the deposition of fat and cholesterol onto the peripheral blood vessels, including the coronary arteries which poses a risk for developing atherosclerosis and its complications (i.e. ischemic heart disease). Niacin functions to overall improve the lipid profile of a patient by lowering LDL and raising the levels of high density lipoprotein or HDL also known as "good cholesterol".</span>

Which of the following alternative engery technologies is most likey to be used to power a car?

puteri [66]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is Biofuel

Explanation:

Biofuel can be used as an alternative energy technology source to power a car.

The importance of using biofuel is that it causes less air pollution than fossil fuels, and it has less effect on the global warming. Most importantly, it is produced from agricultural sources.

The biofuels that can be used are butanol,ethanol and biodiesel etc.

Wind, geothermal and hydropower can not be directly used to provide power to the car.

Hence, the correct answer to the question is that biofuel which can be used as an alternating technology to provide power to car.

Answer: Oxygen

Explanation:I hope it helps . i have breifly explained it .

Oxygen gas is one of the products of photosynthesis.

Which reactant is the source for oxygen gas and how is it released?

A .

Water, released when sunlight splits it into oxygen and hydrogen ions

B .

Glucose, released when glucose is broken down into carbon dioxide gas, oxygen gas and water

C .

Carbon dioxide, released when sunlight splits it into carbon and oxygen gas

D .

Electrons, released when they strike the chloroplasts

Green plants capture energy and convert it into chemical energy by the process known as photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water are transformed into simple carbohydrates and oxygen is liberated into the atmosphere.

light

6CO2 + 12H2O ----------------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

chlorophyll

Water is also used as a source of hydrogen required for reduction of carbon dioxide to form carbohydrate.

Water is oxidised in presence of light and chlorophyll. Hydrogen is removed from water and oxygen is released as follows:

light

4‎H20 ---------------> 2‎H20 + 4H+ + 4e− + O2

chlorophyll

or,

2‎H2O ----------------> 4H+ + 4e− + O2

Hence the source for oxygen gas is water and it is released when water splits in the presence of sunlight into oxygen and hydrogen ions.

So, the correct answer is 'Water, released when sunlight splits it into oxygen and hydrogen ions'.
