Explain Ionic and covalent bonding

Biology
2 answers:
Lesechka [4]3 years ago
6 0
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.

Explain how the adaptation to reproduce quickly is beneficial in bacteria's ability to develop resistance to antibiotics.
azamat
<h2>Resistance to antibiotics </h2>

Explanation:

Bacteria are single-celled organisms usually found all over the inside and outside of our bodies

  • Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria or other microbes to resist the effects of an antibiotic
  • Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in some way that reduces or eliminates the effectiveness of drugs, chemicals, or other agents designed to cure or prevent infections,the bacteria survive and continue to multiply causing more harm
  • There are two main ways that bacterial cells can acquire antibiotic resistance,one is through mutations that occur in the DNA of the cell during replication and the other way that bacteria acquire resistance is through horizontal gene transfer
  • Through the process of replication bacteria develop mutations that make them resistant to antibiotics
  • Bacteria with the resistant mutation have a better chance of survival against antibiotics
  • Resistant bacteria continue to multiply even when exposed to antibiotics
  • In horizontal gene transfer,antibiotic resistant genetic material is transferred between different bacterial cells which can happen in three different ways: transformation,transduction or conjugation
