Answer;
Oxygen or an oxidizing agent to receive electrons must be present for oxidation to occur in chemical reactions.
Explanation;
Oxidation entails the loss of electrons from these molecules, causing them to become unstable and highly reactive and leading to their eventual reaction with and damage of cell components such as membranes.
-In redox reaction; The ion or molecule that accepts electrons is called the oxidizing agent; by accepting electrons it causes the oxidation of another species. Conversely, the species that donates electrons is called the reducing agent; when the reaction occurs, it reduces the other species.
Oxygen.
Oxygen was fatal when organisms started using photosynthesis, this event was known as the Great Oxidation Event.
Answer:
Plant life cycles are classified as ( annual, biennial, or perennial. )
Explanation:
Annuals complete their life cycle of germination from seed, growing, flowering, fruiting and dying within a single season of growth. Biennials require two seasons to complete their life cycle.
Answer:
polypeptides
Explanation:
Amino acids generally represent the building blocks of proteins. In order words, proteins are polymers of amino acids.
The amino acids in proteins are linked together by peptide bonds. <u>A peptide bond is formed between two amino acids when the amine group of one of the amino acids combines with the carboxylic group of the other with the elimination of water</u>. When the reaction involves multiple amino acids, multiple peptide or polypeptide, also known as protein is formed.
Answer:
Iodine
Explanation:
This is a trace element needed for the synthesis of the two thyroid hormone ; T4- thyroxine and T3-triiodothyronine. Four iodine molecules are added in T4 synthesis, and three for T3 synthesis. Generally T4 is the major hormone produced, but biologically transformed into active form T3.
Iodine majorly and selenium are the two trace elements needed for thyroid hormones synthesis. Therefore required amount of iodine is important in daily diet. iIn adequate supply of this leads to under production of iodine called hypothyroidism. poor brain development ( especially in kids),and goiter.
Sea foods . eggs, poultry seaweeds are rich sources of iodine.
Conversely, when excessive amount is present in the blood, autoimmune thyroid diseases can occur,including cancer developments in the thyroid gland due to hyper cell activities.
