How to tell if an equation is acidic or basic?

1 answer:

8 0

Chemical equations are neither acidic nor basic, but you can evaluate the products of the reaction (and maybe the reactants too) and identify the existence of acids or bases which will indicate what kind of effects the reaction will have on the acidity. However, I'm not sure if you're asking the question you want to know the answer to, maybe you're wondering about balancing redox equations (which you do differently in acidic vs basic environments), in which case you'll need additional information beyond just an equation, but if the equation is redox and it's balanced just look for the presence of H+ ions or OH- ions on either side and that will tell you if it is acidic or basic (respectively), if neither is present, it'll be neutral.

Which component of a plant makes the cell walls around plant cells tough and allows branches, stems, and leaves to be strong

Vsevolod [243]

<h3>Answer;</h3>

Cellulose

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

Cellulose is a polysaccharide and the most abundant organic compound on the Earth's surface.

It is an important organic molecule due to its strong structure which provides a wide variety of functions.
Cellulose is a major component of tough cell walls that surround plant cells and is what makes plant stems, leaves, and branches very strong.
The molecules of cellulose are arranged such that they are parallel to each other joined by hydrogen bond. this arrangement forms long structures that combine with other cellulose molecules producing a strong support structure.

When do replicated chromosomes are aligned in the center

Art [367]

Answer:

During Metaphase

Explanation:

During Metaphase the cell chromosome align themselves in the middle of the cell.This occur due to a cellular process called "Tug of War".

The chromosome which have been replicated and joined at the central point called centromere are called sister chromatids

Prior to metaphase , Kinetochore type of protein are formed around the centromere. Long protein filament called kinetochore are extended from poles to other end of the cell attached to kinetochore.

Therse is important checkpoint in the middle of mitosis called metaphase.

At this point cell ensure that , it is ready to divide or not.

Once the cell ensure that everything is ready to divide. Only after then , yhe cell enters the fourth phase called anaphase.
