Hello there!
I believe "<span>b. Nutrients move from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration." is correct!

Hello!
Before I can answer your question we need to know the different types of chemical reactions that can occur:
- Single Replacement
- Double Replacement
- Synthesis
- Decomposition
- Combustion
Combustion is an answer that can usually be ruled out unless oxidation is occuring in the chemical equation (hyrdrogen occuring with oxygen to react)
Synthesis reaction, also known as a Combination reaction, is when the reactants combine to form a single product.
Decompostion is when a single reactant is deconstructed to form multiple products, or the opposite of Synthesis.
With these definitions alone, since they are opposite types of reactions, the answer would be Synthesis and Decomposition reactions !
Hope this helps and if you need anymore clarification feel free to ask.
Answer:
Explanation:
The oxidation reduction reactions are called redox reaction. These reactions are take place by gaining or losing the electrons and oxidation state of elements are changed.
Oxidation:
Oxidation involve the removal of electrons and oxidation state of atom of an element is increased.
Reduction:
Reduction involve the gain of electron and oxidation number is decreased.
Consider the following reactions.
4KI + 2CuCl₂ → 2CuI + I₂ + 4KCl
the oxidation state of copper is changed from +2 to +1 so copper get reduced.
CO + H₂O → CO₂ + H₂
the oxidation state of carbon is +2 on reactant side and on product side it becomes +4 so carbon get oxidized.
Na₂CO₃ + H₃PO₄ → Na₂HPO₄ + CO₂ + H₂O
The oxidation state of carbon on reactant side is +4. while on product side is also +4 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
H₂S + 2NaOH → Na₂S + 2H₂O
The oxidation sate of sulfur is -2 on reactant side and in product side it is also -2 so it neither oxidized nor reduced.
Oxidizing agents:
Oxidizing agents oxidize the other elements and itself gets reduced.
Reducing agents:
Reducing agents reduced the other element are it self gets oxidized
Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 3(NH4)2CO3(aq) → 3(NH4)2SO4(aq) + Cr2(CO3)3(s)
<span>Ionic: 2Cr+3 + 3SO4^-2 + 6NH4+ + 3CO3^-2 ----> 6NH4+ + 3SO4^-2 + Cr2(CO3)3 (spectator ions are NH4+, SO4^-2) </span>
<span>Net Ionic: 2Cr^+3(aq) + 3CO3^-2(aq) -------> Cr2(CO3)3(s) </span>
