Question

question 28
an example of a catabolic process is
o hydrolysis
dehydration synthesis
o formation of a peptide bond
o both b and c

question 29
a solution that contains a greater concentration of hydroxide ions (oh -) than hydrogen ions (h+) is a(n) ____ solution.
o acidic
o alkaline (basic)
o neutral
o not enough information is given to determine the character of the solution.

question 30
which of the following elements is least likely to combine with another element?
o hydrogen
o helium
o oxygen
o carbon

Explanation:

• Question 28: Hydrolysis is a catabolic process where a compound is broken down by reacting with water. Dehydration synthesis is an anabolic process. Formation of a peptide bond is also anabolic. So the catabolic process example is hydrolysis.
• Question 29: By definition, a solution with a greater concentration of hydroxide ions ($OH^-$) than hydrogen ions ($H^+$) is an alkaline (basic) solution.
• Question 30: Helium is a noble - gas with a full outer electron shell, making it very stable and least likely to combine with another element compared to hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon which are more reactive.

Answer:

Question 28: Hydrolysis
Question 29: Alkaline (basic)
Question 30: Helium
