Use the following information to answer question 11. Researchers have found that Alzheimer patients may have an abnormal form of a protein in their brains. This abnormal protein initiates a reaction that forms hydrogen peroxide, H₂O₂(aq), which damages nerve cells. In order to eliminate H₂O₂(aq), cells possess enzymes that catalyze the reaction represented by the following equation. enzymes 2 H,O(l) + Oz(aq) S 2 H,O2(aq) 11. The catalyzed reaction above can be described as A. a reduction reaction B. an oxidation reaction C. a disproportionation reaction D. an incomplete combustion reaction

Cake mixes and other packaged foods that require cooking often contain special directions for use at high elevations. Typically these directions indicate that the food should be cooked longer above 5000ft. Explain why it takes longer to cook something at higher elevations.
As weather balloons rise from the earths surface, the pressure of the atmosphere becomes less, tending to cause the volume of the balloons to expand. However, the temperatura is much lower in the upper atmosphere than at sea level. Would this temperatura effect tend to make such a balloon expand or contract? Weather balloons do, in fact, expand as they rise. What does this tell you?
Cyanobacteria are chemosynthetic organisms that reside deep in the ocean near hydrothermal vents. Archeoglobus, one of these types of cyanobacteria, uses the pathway shown in the chemical equation. 4H2 + SO42− + 2H+ → H2S + 4H2O Based on this equation, which explanation best describes how the process of chemosynthesis in bacteria differs from photosynthesis, and why can this process occur in the absence of oxygen? Chemosynthesis uses H2 as an energy source, while photosynthesis uses the Sun as an energy source. Chemosynthesis uses H+ as an energy source, while photosynthesis uses the Sun as an energy source. Chemosynthesis reduces a sulfate molecule in the absence of oxygen and light, while photosynthesis depends on light to reduce carbon dioxide. Chemosynthesis oxidizes a sulfate molecule in the absence of oxygen and light, while photosynthesis depends on light to reduce carbon dioxide.

) In Chapter 8 (The Water Soluble Vitamins), section 8.1 (What are Vitamins) discusses Absorption, Storage and Excretion of Vitamins, both water- and fat-soluble. How readily a vitamin can be absorbed and utilized by the body is called its bioavailability. Fat-soluble vitamins require _fat__in the diet for absorption while water soluble vitamins, which include all B vitamins and vitamin ______, dissolve in water and depend on energy-requiring transport systems or need to be bound to specific molecules in the GI tract in order to be absorbed in the small intestine. Once absorbed into the blood, vitamins must be transported to the cells, mostly by being bound to _________________________ for transport. Fat soluble vitamins, which include vitamins ______, ________, _________ and _______ are incorporated into ___________________ for transport from the intestine. With the exception of vitamin B12, the water-soluble vitamins are easily excreted from the body in the urine. In contrast,…
