Answer: Option C) Reduction is the gain of electrons.

Explanation:

Reduction is a process involving a gain of electron(s), while oxidation involves a loss of electron(s).

Thus, an oxidizing agent is a substance that accepts electron(s) and become reduced, while a reducing agent is a substance that donates electron(s) and so becomes oxidized.

Thus, reduction is the gain of electron(s)

What are some non-examples of carbohydrates
malfutka [58]
Non carbohydrates refers to those food which are not carbohydrates, which means that, these food do not supply energy and one can not possibly grow fat by eating them too much. Examples of non carbohydrate foods are egg, meat, fish, poultry, etc.
Non carbohydrates foods usually play other roles in the human system other than providing energy.

tresset_1 [31]

Hello. This question is incomplete. Also, you forgot to show the flowchart. The flowchart is attached below and the full question is:

The flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea plant that has green pods. Green pods are the dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits.

In which squares should the phrase “Green pods” appear?

1.A and D  2.B and E  3.A,C and D  4.A,B,C,D and E

Answer:

3.A,C and D

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the flowchart shows the crossing of a pea plant with dominant features (green pods - AA) and a pea plant with recessive features (yellow features - aa). The crossing between plants with AA and aa alleles generates a completely Aa population, which in this case, has the dominant characteristic, that is, it has green pods. This is because the "Aa" alleles are called heterozygous and develop the dominant characteristic.

As we can see in the flowchart, the crossing between the two pea plants generated an offspring that is identified by table C, as we know this offspring has green pods and in the flowchart it is represented by a grayish rectangle. Therefore, we can say that the other gray rectangles represent pea plants with green pods, which are rectangles A, C and D.

Which food molecule (monosaccharide, polysaccharide, lipid, or protein) would you eat if...
torisob [31]
<span>You needed a quick boost of energy - MONOSACCHARIDE

You wanted to grow strong nails, you haven't eaten in days - PROTEIN

You wanted to grow healthy hair - PROTEIN

You had a race tomorrow afternoon - POLYSACCHARIDE 

You were getting ready for hibernation - LIPIDS

You wanted to get bigger muscles - PROTEIN 

Your meal will be in a week - LIPIDS

CARBOHYDRATES include monosaccharide and polysaccharides. They provide immediate energy boost or short term energy storage for animals as well as long term energy storage for plants. 

PROTEIN s</span>peeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy. It is used to form bones and build muscles. It is m<span>ade up of an amino group, a carboxyl group, and an R group.

LIPIDS can be saturated or unsaturated fatty acids. They are not soluble in water however they provide long-term energy storage for animals. </span>

Imagine you were going to build a “green” building. What features would it have? What would it look like? How would it harmonize
9966 [12]

Answer:

Green building is a modern concept in architecture by means of which it is aimed at construction developments that are not invasive with the environment, or that affect the ecosystem in which they are built as little as possible, with the aim of leaving future generations an intact environment worth living in.

Thus, for a construction to conform to this concept, it must follow the following parameters:

-The construction must adapt to the natural environment, and not this to the construction.

-It has to be resource-efficient. Furthermore, the materials used must not be exploited indiscriminately or causing damage to the environment.

-The external area of the building must respect the natural patterns of the area where it is built, favoring a harmonic view between the building and the surroundings.

-Use of clean and renewable energy to supply the building.
