<span>In a hydrolysis reaction, water (H2O) is added to a bond and cleaves the bond holding molecules together, breaking polymers into 2 pieces. In total, you take a water molecule and split it among the two parts, H+ and OH-. These ions get added to either side with the higher affinity for the cation (H+) and anion (OH-). </span>
The answers are photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, natural rock weathering and fossil fuel combustion.
<span>B) He noticed four-fifths of the air had been used up. If by air this question is referring to oxygen, the fact that it has been used up means it has reacted, mean a substance has combusted.</span>
Answer:
Oxygen (O2)
Explanation:
This question is describing photosynthesis which uses carbon dioxide and water as reactants in the presence of sunlight to synthesize sugar (glucose) and oxygen. The general equation is as follows:
6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
According to this question, a plant takes in 6CO2 molecules and 6H2O molecules in order to build one C6H12O6 molecule. Using the balanced equation above, the extra element is OXYGEN, which still needs to be released as a gas for the equation to be balanced i.e 6O2 molecules
Answer:
D.
Explanation:
•Specific enzymes catalyze each cellular reaction in cellular respiration. The main role of enzymes during the respiration reaction is to assist in transferring electrons from one molecule to another.
•The reactions of photosynthesis, and many other biological processes, are controlled by enzymes.
ENZYMES ARE REQUIRED FOR MOST OF THE CHEMICAL REACTIONS THAT OCCUR IN ORGANISMS
