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).

Explain the criteria for categorizing phenomena as science (Consistent, Observable, Natural, Predictable, Testable, and Tentativ

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Consistency: Consistency is the property of the phenomena where the result of the observation or experiment should be consistence. The degree of the variation between the observation should very low.

Observable: The outcome of the result of the experiment should be observable and the result should be record able.

Natural: For the happening of the event, it should be explainable with the reference of the natural events.

Predictable: The event should be able to predict that can be explained on the basis of the naturally occurring event.

Testable: the cause of the natural event should be able to tested on the basis of variable environment in controlled environment to draw the different result and a conclusion based on the result.

Tentativeness: the scientific theory should be such that it could be tested upon. With the development of science, the theory should be modifiable and even proven wrong.

What tissue type is found in kidney glomeruli and corpuscles; air sacs of lungs; the lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lym

Andreas93 [3]

The tissue type found in kidney glomeruli and corpuscles; air sacs of lungs; the lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; and the lining of serosae is simple squamous epithelium.

Lymphatic vessels are the large network of tubes that carry the lymph fluid from different parts of the body. These vessels are also involved in the transport of immune cells. The vessels are composed of a thin layer of smooth muscle, and adventitia that helps in binding of vessels to the surrounding tissue.

Simple squamous epithelium tissues consist of a single layer of flattened cells. This structure makes the tissue relevant for structures like air sacs of lungs or the lining of the heart, therefore to make the transport process easier.

marin [14]

Most humans (and vertebrates, in general) are genetically "programmed" to produce a brown skin pigment known as melanin. Albinism--the inability to produce melanin—is inherited in humans as an autosomal recessive trait. An individual with genotype AA or Aa will have normally pigmented skin, whereas an individual with genotype aa will produce no melanin. The albino's skin is very pale white, and the (highly vascularized) irises of the eyes appear red because no melanin obscures the red reflectance of blood.

The frequencies aa (Parental genotype male) and Aa (Parental genotype female, predict the frequencies of all genotypes and phenotypes expected to result from the cross of an albino male with a heterozygous female.
