Answer: Organic molecules
Explanation:
During carbon fixation, the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide are rearranged into organic molecules such as glucose through a series of enzymatic reactions.
In carbon fixation, carbon atoms from CO2 are rearranged into three-carbon molecules or 3-carbon organic compounds. This happens in photosynthesis' Calvin cycle, facilitated by the enzyme RuBisCO.
During carbon fixation, the carbon atoms in carbon dioxide are rearranged into more complex molecules known as three-carbon molecules or 3-carbon organic compounds. This process occurs during the first stage of the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis. The enzyme ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) catalyzes the reaction between carbon dioxide (CO2) and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) to create two molecules of 3-phosphoglycerate, a 3-carbon organic compound.

Hydroxide Ions
Acid and Bases are defined according to three different theories and concepts.
A) Arrhenius Concept
B) Lowry Bronsted Theory
C) Lewis Theory
According to Arrhenius Concept of Acid and Base, "Acid is any specie which when dissolved in water ionizes to produce H⁺ ions".
Examples:
HNO₃ → H⁺ + NO₃⁻
H₃PO₄ → 3 H⁺ + PO₄³⁻
While, "Bases are those species which when dissolved in water produces Hydroxyl Ions (OH⁻)".
Examples:
KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻
Ca(OH)₂ → Ca²⁺ + 2 OH⁻
When an Arrhenius base dissolves in water, it yields hydroxide ions (OH-).
When an Arrhenius base is dissolved in water, it yields hydroxide ions, which have a chemical formula of OH-. The formula for an Arrhenius base is usually represented as BOH, where B represents a cation (positive ion) and OH- represents the hydroxide ion. Some examples of Arrhenius bases include sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and potassium hydroxide (KOH).

Selenium tetrafluoride (SeF4) is a molecule characterized by a covalent bond, not an ionic bond. This bond is formed by the sharing of electron pairs between selenium and fluorine atoms.
The question we have here asks, Is selenium tetrafluoride an ionic or covalent bond?
Selenium tetrafluoride, otherwise known as SeF4, is a molecule formed by the chemical bonding of selenium and fluorine. This bonding is not ionic in nature, but covalent. When you hear the term covalent bond, it refers to a bond formed by the sharing of electron pairs between atoms. Here, selenium and four fluorine atoms share their electrons, therefore creating a molecule of selenium tetrafluoride via a covalent bond.

Selenium tetrafluoride (SeF4) is a covalent bond because it involves the sharing of electrons between two nonmetals, selenium and fluorine. This contrasts ionic bonds, which typically involve a metal donating electrons to a nonmetal.
Selenium tetrafluoride, identified by the chemical formula SeF4, is a type of covalent bond. This classification is due to the fact that selenium and fluorine are both nonmetals. In chemistry, when two nonmetals form a compound, they usually share electrons, resulting in a covalent bond. The electrons are shared because each atom wants to achieve a stable setup, often attained with a full outer shell. Therefore, these compounds are described as covalent or molecular. An example of an ionic bond, on the other hand, involves a metal and a nonmetal. In this type of bond, the metal will lose electrons to become a positively charged cation, while the nonmetal will gain these same electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

Answer: c. It decreases the phosphate ion concentration, forcing the equilibrium to the left.
Explanation:
The calcium phosphate in water is dissociated according to the following equilibrium:
Ca₃(PO₄)₂ ⇄ 3Ca²⁺ + 2PO₄³⁻
A neutralization reactionis one in which an acid reacts with a base. In the reaction a salt is formed and in most cases water is formed.
Phosphate is the complementary base of phosphoric acid, so when adding acid to the solution, we will neutralize the phosphate present according to the following reaction:
PO₄³⁻ + 3H⁺ ⇄ H₃PO₄
Therefore, when adding acid we increase the solubility of calcium phosphate since we are neutralizing the phosphate present in the salt, decreasing the concentration of phosphate, displacing the first equilibrium shown to the left and favoring the dissolution of calcium phosphate.
The addition of acid to calcium phosphate decreases the phosphate ion concentration, causing a shift in equilibrium to the right, resulting in increased solubility of calcium phosphate.
The addition of acid increases the solubility of calcium phosphate because it decreases the phosphate ion concentration. This process forces the equilibrium to shift to the right, as per Le Chatelier's principle. This principle states that when a stress (in this case, acid addition leading to decreased phosphate ion concentration) is applied to a system at equilibrium, the system responds by shifting in a direction that minimizes that stress. In this case, the equilibrium shifts to the right, resulting in the dissolution of more calcium phosphate to replace the phosphate ions that were removed due to the addition of acid.
