Metamorphic rocks are classified as either foliated or nonfoliated . Foilated rocks have layers of mineral grains. Nonfoliated rocks have little or no layering. ( just took the test)

Answer:

Introduction Purpose: Explore the interdependence of organisms by  

performing an experiment with lima bean plants and earthworms. Question: How can the presence of one species benefit another in  

the same ecosystem?  

Hypothesis: If plants grow in soil containing worms, then the  

plant growth will be greater, because worms help decompose organic matter and distribute it through the soil in a form that plants can use.

Semen creates a(n)__________ environment for sperm to safely travel through both the male and female reproductive tracts.
Assoli18 [71]

Semen creates a(n)<u>alkaline </u>environment for sperm to safely travel through both the male and female reproductive tracts.

In the field of biology, semen can be described as a white, slippery fluid that is released from the male reproductory organ. Semen is also referred to as the seminal fluid.

The semen of males carries the sperm cells which are required for the fertilization of the female egg. The conditions should be favorable for the process of fertilization to occur.

The natural atmosphere of the vagina of a female is acidic in nature. The sperms need a neutral environment for survival. Hence, the semen is produced alkaline in nature to prolong the lifetime of sperm cells. The alkalinity of the semen neutralizes the acidity of the vagina.

A bond of the following elements would be of what type? Ca + 2Cl<br><br> Covalent or ionic
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.  

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

calcium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for calcium is 1. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from calcium is transfer to the chlorine. calcium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

There are two valance electrons in calcium so it needed to lose two valance electrons to complete the octet while chlorine needed one electron to complete the octet. Thus two electrons lost by one calcium atom are gained by two atoms of chlorine.

Ca + Cl₂ → CaCl₂
