Example sentences for: electrons

How can you use “electrons” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Thus, our ability, confirmed here, to detect actual electron transport within the redox potential range of life processes, and to observe simultaneously some of the signature chemical structures involved, offers a promising direct approach to detecting the capability of living entities in soil on Earth or elsewhere in our solar system to move electrons between universal donors and acceptors and obtain energy to support replication.

  • c brings its electronegative carboxyl group into conjugation with the π system of the macrocycle, with the same effect [ 22 ] . As a consequence, the central Mg atom of Chls b and c has a greater affinity for exogenous electrons, thus is a stronger Lewis acid.

  • Of course, in the age of neutrons, protons, electrons, and even quarks, we now know that an atom is not a particle that cannot be divided into smaller particles.

  • Nevertheless, with the beneficial properties of O 2 comes the inadvertent formation of reactive oxygen species, including superoxide (O − 2 ), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and hydroxyl radical (•OH); these differ from O 2 in having one, two, and three additional electrons, respectively (Figure 1).

  • Since living entities require a continual source of usable energy, we should be able to detect a chemical signature of life in the form of mixtures of redox molecules such as porphyrins, quinones, and flavins that transport electrons along redox gradients between electron donors and acceptors [ 13 ] . We examined methods to extract and detect the components of electron transport chains that might be used to indicate the presence of life on site in extraterrestrial locations.
