Iron is a type of metal. Therefore, the iron has a sparkling surface nature. However Iron is easy to rusty. Why?​

Biology
1 answer:
mihalych1998 [28]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

When iron gets in contact with oxygen (or water, which also contains oxygen) it starts giving electrons to the oxygen atoms, in a process called oxidisation, and when that occurs, iron oxide (Fe_2 O_3) is made.

Note: iron oxide is what we call rust. And, iron is so easy to rust because it usually isn't mixed with any other protective metals or covered in protective films.

Hope it helped,

Which example best shows that the chemistry of water is helpful to plants?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

water polarity causes cohesion that pulls other water molecules up through a plant.

Explanation:

Water for plants is essential because it constitutes one of the necessary elements so that they can generate their food through the process called photosynthesis.

In effect, plants take the hydrogen from a water molecule and discard the oxygen, providing the atmosphere with this essential gas for life.

DNA regions that are transcriptionally silenced by hypercondensation have often undergone a modification of their _______ residu
inessss [21]

Answer:

b. methylation.

Explanation:

Science can be defined as a branch of intellectual and practical study which systematically observe a body of fact in relation to the structure and behavior of non-living and living organisms (animals, plants and humans) in the natural world through experiments.

Genome editing can be defined as a high-tech process which avail scientists the opportunity or ability to remove (delete), replace and insert Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) sequence in a living organism such as bacterias, animals, plants etc in order to correct a genetic disorder and to improve on their physical and chemical conditions.

Transcription can be defined as a process which typically involves re-writing the informations contained within a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) into a Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) by enzyme RNA polymerase.

Hence, DNA regions that are transcriptionally silenced by hypercondensation have often undergone a modification of their cytosine residues termed methylation.

For example, CpG island methylation transcriptionally silences about 650 to 800 genes in patients suffering from colorectal cancer.

Which process will be immediately inhibited if cytochrome c is unable to interact with cytochrome c oxidase
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Electron transfer to from cytochrome c to molecular Oxygen in the process of oxidative phosphorylation

Explanation:

Cytochrome c is a protein which is involved in the electron transport chain for the production of ATP molecules during then process of respiration. It a soluble protein found in the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. It receives electrons from ubiquinone at Complex III of the electron transport chain and transfers this electron to molecular oxygen through its interaction with complex IV or cytochrome c oxidase, reducing molecular oxygen to water.

If the interaction of cytochrome c with cytochrome c oxidase is inhibited, the process of elctron transfer to oxygen will be inhibited and, so ATP synthesis will cease.

Ultimately,  respiration will be inhibited resulting in death of the organism. For example, cyanide inhibits cytochrome c oxidase resulting in death of the organism poisoned with cyanide.
