Answer:
The correct option in blank is anion.

Explanation:
Ionic compound is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to another atom. When an electropositve atom lose an electron it form cation, whereas as anion is formed when an atom gain an electron. These actions and anions then attract each other and form an ionic compound.
I hope it will help you.

Example:
The formation of NaCl is best example of ionic compound. Na has one electron in its outer most shell which can easily be removed to form Na+, while Cl has seven electron in its outer most shell so it can easily gain an electron lost by Na to form Cl-. Then these ions attract each other and form NaCl as shown in the figure.

Which organism is not a eukaryote?

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. There is a wide range of eukaryotic organisms, including all animals, plants, fungi, and protists, as well as most algae. Eukaryotes may be either single-celled or multicellular. Eukaryotes are differentiated from another class of organisms called prokaryotes by way of the presence of internal membranes that separate parts of the eukaryotic cell from the rest of the cytoplasm. These membrane-bound structures are called organelles.

In eukaryotes, the cell's genetic material, or DNA, is contained within an organelle called the nucleus, where it is organized in long molecules called chromosomes. Eukaryotic cells also contain other organelles, including mitochondria, which generate energy; the endoplasmic reticulum, which plays a role in the transport of proteins; and the Golgi apparatus, which sorts and packages proteins and lipids for transport throughout the cell. Plant cells additionally contain organelles called chloroplasts, which are used to collect energy from sunlight.
