Question

The measurement of Nitric Oxide (NO) is quite difficult due to its ........ half-life and ........ reactivity with other biological components such as superoxide, oxygen, thiols.

• A. Short, High
• B. Short, Low
• C. Long, High
• D. Long, Low

Hint:

When measuring gases like NO, their reactivity and half-life can greatly affect the accuracy of measurement techniques.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Half-life of Nitric Oxide.
The half-life of Nitric Oxide (NO) is very short, which makes it difficult to measure accurately.

Step 2: Reactivity of Nitric Oxide.
NO is highly reactive with biological molecules such as superoxide and oxygen, making its detection even more challenging.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Short, High}} \]
