Reactions

The dehydration of cyclopentanol produces cyclopentene:

C5H10O → C5H8 + H2O
gollark: Unless the intention is that you would eventually end up with adaptations to being hotter.
gollark: You would just get back to where you started though.
gollark: How would that help? You would just get hotter.
gollark: You would probably have to swap out a bunch of important proteins to make everything work. Which would be hard, as lots of them are probably ridiculously optimized for their current function.
gollark: Does it matter? In most contexts where you *need* to know if something is "alive" there's probably a more specific definition which categorises them better.
