Biology

zhenek [66]4 years ago

What makes molecules polar: an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

- So, a water molecule is polar because there is an uneven distribution of electrons between the oxygen and hydrogen atoms.

- Water has a neutral charge.

- Because of their partial positive and negative charges, polar molecules, such as water, attract each other like magnets.

- The attraction between a hydrogen atom with a partial negative charge and another atom with a partial positive charge is called a hydrogen bond.

- Because water is a polar molecule, it is able to form multiple hydrogen bonds, which is why water has many special properties (hydrogen bonds are the strongest bonds that can form between molecules).

Hope this helps!

Why do mitochondria and chloroplasts have relatively small genomes?
Komok [63]

Answer:

B) Over time, much of their nucleic acid has migrated to the host cell nucleus

Explanation:

The origin of chloroplasts and mitochondria is explained via endosymbiosis theory: they  originated as prokarytoic symbionts. The host cell acquired genetic information from them and “took it up” by lateral gene transfer. Those genes (now located in the eukaryotic cell nucleus-nuclear genome) encode the great majority of chloroplast and mitochondrial proteins, as well as many proteins of the nucleus and cytosol.  

Yet ,chloroplasts and mitochondria retained some of the genes in their genomes.

Question:<br> If the soil is made up of large particles, what size will the air spaces be?
Vesna [10]
Soil particles vary greatly in size, and soil scientists classify soil particles into sand, silt, and clay. Starting with the finest, clay particles are smaller than 0.002 mm in diameter. Some clay particles are so small that ordinary microscopes do not show them. Silt particles are from 0.002 to 0.05 mm in diameter.
