Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen gas and water must be present for iron to rust.

A region of the metal’s surface serves as the anode, where oxidation

occurs:

Fe(s) → Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 e⁻

The electrons given up by iron reduce atmospheric oxygen to water at the cathode, which is another region of the same metal’s surface:

O₂ (g) + 4H⁺ (aq) + 4 e⁻ → 2 H₂O (l)

The overall redox reaction is:

2 Fe(s) + O₂(g) → 4H⁺(aq) + 2Fe²⁺ (aq) + 2 H₂O(l)

The Fe²⁺ ions formed at the anode are further oxidized by oxygen:

4 Fe²⁺ (aq) + O₂(g) 1 (4 + 2x) H₂O (l) → 2 Fe₂O₃ . xH₂O(s) + 8 H⁺(aq)

This hydrated form of iron(III) oxide is known as rust. The amount of water associated with the iron oxide varies, so we represent the formula as 2 Fe₂O₃ . xH₂O.

The United States' __________ was patterned after Germany's autobahn.
lianna [129]
<span>The answer is D. Interstate Highway System. The United States envisioned a highway system that would allow for controlled access to the road with no stop lights and a higher speed limit. This would allow for a faster means of transportation for goods and people throughout the country. In modeling this highway system, the United States looked to the autobahn in Germany after seeing how successful it was.</span>

Deposition by the river replenishes soil in the wetlands with sediment and nutrients illustrates a positive effect that the Nueces River has on the wetlands.

Option: C

Explanation:

A river in its lower course leave the high elevated area and enters into the flat land. In the lower course of the river deposition is the prime work of a river. Estuary, delta are some of the landform that formed in the lower course of a river. Here, Nueces estuary is formed where Nueces river enters into the gulf.

In this gulf a wetland is formed which supports aquatic life and a dwelling place for them and land species also. Here, river deposits all its sediments and replenish the soil of wetland with new sediments and nutrients.

Answer:

DNA replication

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material and serves to store genetic information. The genetic information is transmitted from a parent cell to the daughter cells or from the parent to the progeny by the process of DNA replication.  

DNA replication is the process that occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotes and includes the synthesis of new DNA strands using the existing DNA strands as a template. The newly formed DNA molecules are then distributed among the daughter cells during cell division. Thereby, the process of DNA replication ensures that the DNA of the parent generation is carried to the next generation.

For instance, sperms and egg cells in humans carry the DNA of male and female parents respectively to the young one. DNA replication occurs in sperm mother cells and egg mother cells during the formation of sperms and egg cells respectively.
