Answer:

Option (B).

Explanation:

Covalent bonds may be defined as the bonds formed by the mutual sharing of the electrons between the elements. Covalent bonds are the strongest bonds in the nature.

The methane molecules forms the covalent bonds. The carbon shares its four electron with the four hydrogen molecules by the mutual sharing between the carbon and hydrogen. The carbon has the ability to share its electron with hydrogen and complete its octet.

Thus, the answer is option (B).

What is the name of the membrane surrounding the brain? What is the<br> function of this membrane?
wlad13 [49]

Answer and explanation:

The meninges

There are actually 3 parts—dura mater, arachnoid, and pia mater.

The brain is soft and mushy, and without structural support it would not be able to maintain its normal shape. In fact, a brain taken out of the head and not properly suspended (e.g., in saline solution) can tear simply due to the effects of gravity. While the bone of the skull and spine provide most of the safeguarding and structural support for the central nervous system (CNS), alone it isn't quite enough to fully protect the CNS. The meninges help to anchor the CNS in place to keep, for example, the brain from moving around within the skull. They also contain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which acts as a cushion for the brain and provides a solution in which the brain is suspended, allowing it to preserve its shape.

The outermost layer of the meninges is the dura mater, which literally means "hard mother." The dura is thick and tough; one side of it attaches to the skull and the other adheres to the next meningeal layer, the arachnoid mater. The dura provides the brain and spinal cord with an extra protective layer, helps to keep the CNS from being jostled around by fastening it to the skull or vertebral column, and supplies a complex system of veinous drainage through which blood can leave the brain.

The arachnoid gets its name because it has the consistency and appearance of a spider web. It is much less substantial than the dura, and stretches like a cobweb between the dura and pia mater. By connecting the pia to the dura, the arachnoid helps to keep the brain in place in the skull. Between the arachnoid and the pia there is also an area known as the subarachnoid space, which is filled with CSF. The arachnoid serves as an additional barrier to isolate the CNS from the rest of the body, acting in a manner similar to the blood-brain barrier by keeping fluids, toxins, etc. out of the brain.

Which of the following is an example of gene flow?
kykrilka [37]
<span>When the genes propagate from one area to another. 
The founder effect happens when genetic diversity declines due to an external larger group of organism invades a set of current living population. An example of this process is when the British colonies invaded the Mesoamerican continent where native americans lived and were outrun by the British colones, especially since many wars were made and ethnic cleansing. </span>

Understanding types of symbiosis Interspecific interactions can be categorized by whether each species in the interaction benefi
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

a. parasitism:

The parasite benefits by harming the host e.g hookworms and humans

b. commensalism

In this association, one species benefits while the other is unaffected (its not harm and dies not benefit) e.g. epiphytic orchids and trees

c. mutualism

Here, both species benefit as seen in rumen bacteria and cows

Explanation:

Parasitism = +/- relationship

The predator benefits by harming the host. E.g. hookworms and humans. The hookworm (parasite) eat man blood while man (host) loses blood to it.

Commensalism = +/0 relationship

One specie(s) benefits while the other specie(s) neither benefits nor is harmed. E.g. epiphytic orchids live on tree branches or tree trunks as it's habitat or shelter while the trees neither benefits nor is harmed

Mutualism = +/+ relationship

Both organisms benefit in this relationship. E.g. rumen microbes aids grass digestion in cows, while the microbes benefit as it obtain steady food or nutrient from the cow
