Answer:

ionic

Explanation:

Ionic bond:

It is the bond which is formed by the transfer of electron from one atom to the atom of another element.

Both bonded atoms have very large electronegativity difference. The atom with large electronegativity value accept the electron from other with smaller value of electronegativity.

For example:

Sodium chloride is ionic compound. The electronegativity of chlorine is 3.16 and for sodium is 0.93. There is large difference is present. That's why electron from sodium is transfer to the chlorine. Sodium becomes positive and chlorine becomes negative ion.

There are one valance electron in sodium so it needed to lose one valance electrons to complete the octet while chlorine needed one electron to complete the octet. Thus electrons lost by sodium atom is gained by atom of chlorine and form ionic compound.

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

What is the relationship between the rate of wind and the amount of abrasion?

Andreyy89

Answer: Wind speed is also important. The rate of erosion caused by a 30-mile-per-hour wind is more than three times that of a 20-mile-per-hour wind. Wind erosion decreases as soil moisture increases. For example, dry soil erodes about one-and-one-third times more than soil with barely enough moisture to keep plants alive.

The light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, also known as the Calvin cycle, use and produce a variety of molecules. Sort

Margaret [11]

Molecules brought in and used in the calvin cycle - Carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ , Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP)

Molecules produced during the calvin cycle that leave the cycle - a few of the glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), NADP+

Molecules used and regenerated within the calvin cycle - most of the Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) , NADPH

<u>Explanation:</u>

Calvin cycle is the light independent reaction that takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. Calvin cycle uses ATP and NADPH produced during the light reaction. Calvin cycle occurs in 3 steps, they are:

1. Carbon fixation - $(CO_2)$ combines with Ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP) to form 2 molecules of 3-phosphoglyceric acid (3-PGA).

2. Reduction - ATP and NADPH is used to convert 3-PGA into glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P).

3. Regeneration - some G3P molecule form glucose while other regenerates to form RuBP acceptor.
