A positively charged ion is called cation.
A negatively charged ion is called anion.
A salt is formed by the ionic bonding of a cation and an anion.
pH is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in a solution.
Sound waves are both compressional and longitudinal, (although we frequently draw them as transverse waves).
Longitudinal waves are where the particles of matter collide into one another, pushing them into the next and then oscillating back. This is how sound travels. This is also why sound can only travel through a medium, it cannot travel through a vacuum, as is shown here:
It has been a while since biology...but if there is one thing I definitely remember, it is the replication process of DNA.
Once the cell is ready to commence the process of replication, it begins by unzipping the double helix. This task is completed by an enzyme called the DNA Helicase. Then a DNA Polymerase takes half of the unzipped DNA strand and creates corresponding deoxyribonucleotides.
Hope I could help! Have a good one.
Answer:
Biology is the study of living things and their processes of life. Both Hooke and Van Leeuwenhoek made major, early contributions to biology.
Robert Hooke
Robert Hooke is best known for the discovery of the cell. Using a microscope, Hooke looked at the makeup of a piece of cork. Through the microscope, he saw box-like structures. What he saw would later be known as cell walls. He discovered that these structures were cells, the building blocks of all life.
His discovery and future research contributed greatly to the cell theory.
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Leeuwenhoek made his discovery after Hooke, but it was still important. He is best known for the discovery of bacteria. Unlike Hooke, Leeuwenhoek did not study plant cells; instead, he focused on protists (like amoebas) and prokaryotes (like bacteria). For his work with unicellular organisms, he is often called the "Father of Microbiology."
In DNA there are two types of strands, 5'/5 prime, which is the strand, aka the leading strand.
There is also the 3' strand which is the lagging strand.
The difference between these two is the the leading strand is discontinous during replication, they must create ozaki fragments.
The other lagging strand can just have the whole strand replicated at the same time
