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: Nitric Oxide Half-Life.
Nitric Oxide (NO) has a very short half-life, complicating precise measurement.

Step 2: Nitric Oxide Reactivity.
NO's high reactivity with biological molecules like superoxide and oxygen further hinders its detection.

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