How is it posibal to have ionic and covalent bonds

Biology
1 answer:
Brums [2.3K]3 years ago
6 0

An atom  will usually form either an ionic bond or covalent bond with another atom but not both.

Ionic bonds are the kind of bonds that result when one atom transfers or gives up electrons and another atom receives them and adds them to its own energy shells.

An example is sodium metal and chlorine gas. Sodium gives up two of its electrons and Chlorine receives them and the two elements form an ionic bond to create sodium chloride, a new compound.

Covalent bonds are the kind of bonds formed when two atoms decide to share electrons. No atom gives up any electrons and neither does the other atom receive any. An example is water. An oxygen atom shares two of its electrons with two hydrogen atoms to form  a molecule of water (H2O).

Answer:

Negatively repressible.

Explanation:

A control which occurs through repressor is known as negative control which may be inducible or repressible.

When a small molecule named as allolactose binds this repressor it leads to allosteric repulsion which removes repressor from the operator as a result of which RNA polymerase can start transcription. Allolactose is therefore known as inducer because it induces lac operon expression.

But here, the operator is active (induced) already so there is no need to induce the operon which means that it can only be repressed so that transcription could stop. So the answer is negatively repressible operon.

How does capillary action help sustain life on earth?
Yakvenalex [24]
Answer: A - Uptake of food and water by plants

The xylem vessels in the roots of the plants use the mechanism of capillary action and work against gravity to pull water molecules and nutrients from the soil and carry them upwards to the leaves of the plant to provide nourishment to the plant.
