Answer:

Hey

Explanation:

Covalent bonds and ionic bonds are two different ways of how elements bond to each other. The main difference between covalent and ionic bonds is that ionic bonds occur between two species which are electrostatically attracted towards each other, whereas covalent bonds occur covalently through the sharing of electrons between their outer shells.

hope this helps

Answer:

<h2>Ionic bond</h2>

Meaning :- When there is a strong electrostatic force of attraction between a cation and an anion (two oppositely charged ions) of elements is called the ionic bond. This bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal.

Involves :-Transfer and accepting of electrons from the valence shell.

Existence :- They also exist in the solid state only.

Examples :- NaCl, BeO, LiF, etc

<h2>Covalent bond</h2>

Meaning :- When there is a strong electrostatic force of attractions between two positively charged nuclei and the shared pair of electrons is called the covalent bond.

Involves :- Sharing of electrons in the valence shell.

Existence:- Exist as solids, liquids and gases.

Examples :- Diamond, carbon, silica, hydrogen gas, water, nitrogen gas, etc.

Answer:

One difference between these cells is plant cell has chloroplast but animal cell does not have chloroplast.

Another difference between these is that plant cell has cell wall but animal cell does not have cell wall.

Explanation:

Plant cell are known to cells that possess chloroplast. These chloroplast contain chlorophyll which enables the plants to manufacture their own food. Animal cell does not possess chloroplast which makes it impossible for animals to manufacture their own food.

Plant cell actually have cell wall and a cell membrane but animal cell does not have cell wall but only possesses cell membrane. The cell wall gives mechanical strength and maintains cell shape.

Describe the basic components of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).

Reika [66]

Answer:

DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.

What are two short explained advances in biology that were made after the microscope was invented.

melisa1 [442]

Some advances is that organelles, cells, and the difference between the cells of a plant and a cell of an animal. This was an advance because not only did we discover new things but we learned how or body functions with them and how they work. Hopefully you got what you were looking for. :)
