IN carbon monoxide how the valence of carbon is occupied?
Carbon normally makes 4 bonds. Oxygen normally makes 2 bonds. CO has a triple bond. Essentially Carbon is short 1 bond, but oxygen gets an extra bond. However, according to Wikipedia, you can think of it as having different resonance structures: The majority of the electron density is with the carbon despite oxygen being more electro negative.
How is respiration similar to burning wood?
As we all know , in respiration we intake oxygen and gives out carbon dioxide, for burning also oxygen is needed. In spite of oxygen wood cant be burned and along with burning, the gas coming out from wood is Carbon-dioxide. Oxygen combines with carbon
Do all cells contain similar chemicals?
Yes, all cells contain similar chemicals and they are: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
Is nitrogen required in the stage of respiration?
Yes, oxygen is the fuel for respiration... oxygen + glucose = carbod dioxide + water + Energy However, the carbon dioxide and oxygen for a plant or tree would be the other way round because plants breath in co2 and give out oxygen.
The final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain is?
oxygen

Does carbon dioxide have features similar to both carbon and oxygen?
No.
The structures through which carbon dioxide and oxygen get in or come out of the plant are called what?
stomata
What tiny structures exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the human lungs?
Alveoli.
What Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged through structures in the lungs called?
Alveoli. this is the right answer
How is carbon and lipids simliar?
They are not similar. Carbon is an element and lipids are organic compounds which contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Which element is similar to oxygen carbon and nitrogen?
Sulphur, silicon and phosphorus.
What are the structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood?
The tiny air sacs of the lungs were oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are the alveoli.
Is oxygen insoluble in water?
Oxygen is soluble in water (dissolves in water). This is the basis for marine animals who breathe through gills and similar structures to get their oxygen.
How do you describe carbon and oxygen cycle?
The two processes of the carbon cycle are photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis carbon from carbon dioxide is fixed into carbohydrates. In cellular respiration, carbohydrates are broken down to form ATP and carbon in the form of carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere.The two processes of the oxygen cycle are also photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis, oxygen is produced by the splitting of water and is released into the atmosphere. Oxygen is used in the process of aerobic cellular respiration as the last electron acceptor in the electron transport chain. The oxygen then combines with hydrogen to form water molecules, which can then be used by photosynthesis and the cycle is complete.
Why does oxygen and sulfur electron configuration form similar molecules?
Same "fullness" of the valance band.
Do photosynthesis use oxygen to make sugar?
It creates oxygen as a byproduct when H2O is split for energy during the reaction. This oxygen is an important part of cellular respiration, as it is the final electron receptor of the electron transport chain. The electron transport chain allows large amounts of ATP to be created to power complex organisms, such as humans!
