Fire extinguishers that spray carbon dioxide on the fire, work very effectively because it forms a blanket around the burning material. But these carbon dioxide extinguishers cannot be used for wood fires. Why?
a. The carbon dioxide blanket itself acts as a fuel and starts burning along with the wood.
b. The extinguished wood can retain enough heat inside the carbon dioxide blanket to re-ignite when the gas disappears.
c. In the presence of carbon dioxide from the extinguisher, the burning wood reacts with oxygen to release heat and make the fire worse.
d. Carbon dioxide reacts with wood to give carbon and oxygen; the oxygen makes the fire worse and the carbon burns along with the wood.

Will give ! what are the advantages and disadvantages of nuclear power? check all that apply. one advantage of nuclear energy is that it does not produce carbon dioxide emissions. storage of nuclear waste is a short-term problem associated with nuclear energy. the problem with uranium mining is that a large quantity of uranium must be extracted to meet energy needs because the energy release from uranium fission is so low. safe operation of a nuclear power plant can be jeopardized by a human mistake.

Effect of rotenone and antimycin a on electron transfer rotenone, a toxic natural product from plants, strongly inhibits nadh dehydrogenase of insect and fish mitochondria. antimycin a, a toxic antibiotic, strongly inhibits the oxidation of ubiquinol. (a) explain why rotenone ingestion is lethal to some insect and fish species. (b) explain why antimycin a is a poison. (c) given that rotenone and antimycin a are equally effective in blocking their respective sites in the electron-transfer chain, which would be a more potent poison? explain.
