The Union commander at the Battle of Chancellorsville was

The image above is of an enzyme, superoxide dismutase, abbreviated as SOD, which performs an important role in controlling potentially toxic oxygen structures in biology. Enzymes are large, complicated structures that can contain thousands of atoms, and so no attempt to show individual atoms is even attempted in most representations of enzymes, as you can see above. SOD reacts with the superoxide anion, -O2, converting it into molecular oxygen, O2. The superoxide anion can be toxic in most biochemical environments, and its concentration needs to be controlled. This is the role of the SOD enzyme. The chemically reactive part of the SOD enzyme is a copper atom, Cu. The copper atom is buried within the SOD structure in the form of a dilation, Cu2+, and we can write another representation of the enzyme as Cu2+-SOD, which focuses on the important copper atom in the enzyme.   A simplified form of the chemical reaction by which SOD converts superoxide, -O2, into oxygen, O2, is shown below: Cu2+−SOD + −O2 → Cu+−SOD + O2  In this reaction, does the Cu2+ undergo oxidation or reduction?

What is the pattern of whole steps and half steps for a MAJOR SCALE?  (use “W” for whole step and “H” for half step) [interval1], [interval2], [interval3], [interval4], [interval5], [interval6], [interval7]

In 1817, antislavery reformers founded this society.

Combined American & French troops at Yorktown were outnumbered by the British troops present at the battle.

Suppose that about 22% of subscribers choose Package A of streaming services, and about 8% opt for Package B of streaming services. A subscriber is not limited to one package, and may subscribe to both for additional content access. What is the probability that someone who subscribes to the service will choose either Package A or Package B? Round your answer to three decimal places. Assume the event a customer buys the Package A is independent of the event a customer buys Package B. (Hint: Use the probability of success.)

In a random sample of 46 athletes, it was found that 19 were on a vegan diet. Let p represent the proportion of all athletes who are on a vegan diet. Find a 99% confidence interval for p.
