Covalent bond is when two atoms share one or more pairs of electrons, an example of this could be H20 or C02.

ionic bonds are when one or more electrons from am atom are removed and attached to another, which can result in positive or negative ions which attract each other, an example of this could be table salt.

Ionic bonding:

An ionic bonding occurs when cations (positively charged) and anions (negatively charged) attract each other. In ionic bonding, atoms either loose electrons to become positively charged, in the case of metals, or gain electrons to become negatively charged, in the case of nonmetals. Molecules formed by ionic bonds are called salts.


Covalent bonding:

A covalent boding is the sharing of a pair of valence electrons between two atoms. When only one valence electron (electron in the valence shell (outermost shell)) is shared, the we call that a covalent bond. When two valence electrons are shared we call that a double covalent bond, such as the one found in an oxygen molecule.

Where in our environment does our body obtain the oxygen it needs? What two systems are responsible for obtaining the oxygen and
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

We get oxygen from the air i.e. atmosphere. Green plants release oxygen in the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis. Respiratory system is responsible for obtaining oxygen from the environment. Circulatory system on other hand helps in delivering this oxygen to different cells of the body with the help of blood.

We get nutrients from the food that we eat. Digestive system breaks down all the complex compounds (such as polysaccharides, polypeptides, fats etc) into simpler elements which are easy to absorb.  

CO_{2} produced as a waste product by the cells is carried by the blood to alveoli in the lungs where it gets diffused out and come out of the body as a part of exhale air. Hence, circulatory system helps in he transportation of CO_{2} from cells to the lungs and respiratory system helps in expelling it out from the lungs to the outside environment.

Solid wastes are mainly excreted out of the body from anus which is a part of digestive system. On the other hand, liquid waste (urine) is excreted out of the body with the help of urethra which is the part of excretory system. In addition, excess salts and water can also excrete out of the body through skin.

Muscles and bones together help us in our locomotion. Nervous system is important for proper functioning of bones and muscles.

Meiosis is the type of cell division used to produce haploid cells or gametes from a diploid parent cell. Hence, it is used in reproduction system to produce sperm in males and eggs in females.

Alenkasestr [34]
Research on brain development suggests that risky behavior in teens may be the result of incomplete development and changes that occur in the prefrontal cortex of the brain.
The prefrontal cortex is located in the frontal lobe, behind the frontal cortex. The function of this region is for executive function, an ability to differentiate good things from bad things and consequence of an activity. Incomplete development will impair those abilities, makes the teens do risky behavior.
