Carbon atoms have four valence electrons. Oxygen atoms have six valence electrons. Carbon and oxygen can share electrons so that

each atom obtains a full outer shell of 8 valence electrons. Draw the shared electrons on this diagram

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since both carbon and oxygen need to complete the octet, that is sharing eight electrons in total, since carbon has four valence electrons it has a double bond with one oxygen so it also allows the first oxygen to attain the octet; moreover, for the other oxygen, there also a double bond in order to complete the octet for carbon and for the second oxygen as shown on the attached picture.

Best regards.

Just like other cells, the part of the bacterium that is able to interact with its outside environment is its cell membrane. Generally, the main function of the cell membrane is for barrier and protection. This decides which molecules will be allowed to permeate or not. Hope this helps.

Which option(s) correctly describes chromosomes?
laiz [17]

Answer:In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.

Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or “arms.” The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the “p arm.” The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the “q arm.” The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes.

G If we (humans) do not have enough oxygen to allow aerobic respiration to occur, what will happen? Group of answer choices
ohaa [14]

Answer:

We will produce lactate/lactic acid through fermentation.

Explanation:

During strenuous activities, muscle cells do not sufficient supply of oxygen to meet the energy requirements. As a result, anaerobic respiration occurs to temporarily supply energy and lactic acid is produced instead of carbondioxide and water.

Lactic acid accumulates in muscles and eventually preventing further contraction. The muscle cells are said to have incurred an 'oxygen dept' since they have used up more energy than was possible from the oxygen supplied to them. The largest amount of lactic acid a body of a trained athlete can tolerate is about 127grams, and the largest tolerable oxygen is about 16 litres.
