The shape of the molecule will determine the direction of each of the individual bond dipoles, and thus, will always play a role in determining the polarity of the molecule as a whole.

Think of each polar bond in a molecule as a little arrow pointing from positive to negative. This tells us that the bond dipole is a vector quantity.

Like any other vector quantity, the direction is a vital aspect of its description. So, the geometry of the molecule determines the direction that the bond dipole vectors point.

The polarity of the molecule results from adding up all these individual bond dipoles.

Compare and contrast endocytosis and exocytosis.<br><br> please help!!!
Dmitry [639]
Endocytosis is the process of capturing a substance or particle from outside the cell by engulfing it with the cell membrane, and bringing it into the cell. Exocytosis describes the process of vesicles fusing with the plasma membrane and releasing their contents to the outside of the cell. The main similarity is that both exocytosis and endocytosis are involved in transporting big molecules across the membrane using a vesicle and needs energy. The basic differences are that : 1) Endocytosis brings materials to the inside of the cell while exocytosis takes them out. Exocytosis, on the other hand, is described as the process of fusing vesicles with the plasma membrane to release their contents to the external environment of the cell.

Who first identified nucleic acids, and where were they discovered? Friedrich Meischer discovered nucleic acids in blood cells.
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Friedrich Miescher discovered nucleic acids in blood cells.

Nuclein was discovered by Friedrich Miescher in 1869

Explanation

In the somewhat early 1880s Albert Kossel further purified the substance and discovered its highly acidic properties. Then he later discovered the nucleobases. In 1889 Richard Altman creates the term nucleic acid. Friedrich Miescher was the first scientist to ever isolate nucleic acid.
