Answer:Atoms of nonmetals have a tendency to gain or share electrons when they react.
Explanation: Non-metals are elements that gain electron to form negatively charged ions known as anions.
When non-metals react, they either gain/accept electron from a metal atom or share electron with another non-metal atom. When a non-metal accepts an electron from a metal atom, the type of bond formed is called ionic or electrovalent bond. In electrovalent bond, the metal atom transfers its valence electrons to the non-metal atom so that both attain a stable octet or duplet structure.
When a non-metal shares electron with another non-metal atom, the type of bond formed is known as covalent bond. In covalent bond, the two non-metal atoms share a pair of electron, each atom donating one electron to form a pair.
Answer:
The correct answer is option C. They absorb water vapor from the atmosphere, providing water to the plant for photosynthesis.
Explanation:
Stomata are small opening present on the lower side of leaf. Its main function is to exchange of gases that are required for the process of photosynthesis. During day time, stomata are open and carbondioxode which is a raw material used for the production of glucose is absorbed from air and oxygen is released in the atmosphere.
Answer:
advantages of sexual reproduction:
it produces variation in the offspring
the species can adapt to new environments due to variation, which gives them a survival advantage
a disease is less likely to affect all the individuals in a population
disadvantages of sexual reproduction:
time and energy are needed to find a mate
it is not possible for an isolated individual
advantages of asexual reproduction
the population can increase rapidly when the conditions are favourable
only one parent is needed
it is more time and energy efficient as you don't need a mate
Disadvantages of asexual reproduction
it does not lead to variation in a population
the species may only be suited to one habitat
disease may affect all the individuals in a population
