In alkene if two substituent and hydrogen are attached in the isomer may be cis or trans. When two or more substitution are attached to an alkene the isomer may be Z or E.All cis are Z isomer. The structure of (Z)-3-methy-3-heptene is as the following attachment
Hi, you have not provided structure of the aldehyde and alkoxide ion.
Therefore i'll show a mechanism corresponding to the proton transfer by considering a simple example.
Explanation: For an example, let's consider that proton transfer is taking place between a simple aldehyde e.g. acetaldehyde and a simple alkoxide base e.g. methoxide.
The hydrogen atom attached to the carbon atom adjacent to aldehyde group are most acidic. Hence they are removed by alkoxide preferably.
After removal of proton from aldehyde, a carbanion is generated. As it is a conjugated carbanion therefore the negative charge on carbon atom can conjugate through the carbonyl group to form an enolate which is another canonical form of the carbanion.
All the structures are shown below.
