10.

When exposed to oxygen, Lobsters' color turn:
- Blue
- Red
- Pink
- Yellow
Correct Answer

A. Blue

Explanation

Lobsters' color turns blue when exposed to oxygen. This is due to a pigment called astaxanthin, which is naturally present in lobsters and is responsible for their red color. However, when lobsters are alive and in their natural habitat, the astaxanthin pigment is bound to a protein, giving them a blue color. When the lobsters are cooked or exposed to oxygen, the protein breaks down, releasing the astaxanthin and causing the lobster to turn red.
