How is a covalent bond formed? An atom gives one or more of its electrons away to another atom. Two atoms share a pair of electr

ons in their outer shell. Valence electrons move freely through a set of positively charged ions. Two atoms chemically react to create a single atom of another element.

Answer: Covalent bonds form when atoms share their valence electrons with other atoms to become a more stable molecule.

Explanation: Atoms form covalent bonds as a result of the Octet Rule. The Octet Rule states that all atoms in a molecule need to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This rule can be satisfied by sharing, losing or gaining electrons. A covalent bond allows atoms to satisfy the Octet Rule via sharing.

How does using killed or weakened bacteria in an immunization help the body prevent infections?
Ray Of Light [21]
The answer is A.) Antibodies are formed that fight those types of bacteria.

To explain, your immune system protects you from invasive bacteria by attacking and destroying them. The problem is that your system needs to recognize invading organisms like bacteria. Remember that bacteria cells have many of the same types of structures as your own cells, and you do not want your immune system to attack your own body. Special cells called T-cells and B-cells participate in this process. To make a long story short, antibodies are special molecules that your immune system "labels" invading bacteria with, so that it knows what to attack. These antibodies only fit on molecular structures of the targeted bacteria.

When a dead or weakened bacteria, or even pieces of a bad bacteria are introduced to the body, the B-cells and T-cells create antibodies that label that specific type of bacteria, or even its parts. They also remember how to make them in the future, so that later, when and if infected with a live version of that bacteria, the immune system already makes the antibodies to fight that infection. The process can work for viruses too.

lord [1]

Answer:

A. An increase in nutrients

Explanation:

By definition, eutrophication is excessive richness of nutrients in a lake or body of water, frequently due to runoff from the land, which causes a dense growth of plant life and death of animal life from lack of oxygen.
