Electrons in the outermost energy level are usually involved in chemical reactions which are called ___________________ .

7 0

Answer:

Chemical bonding

Explanation:

Outer most shell's electrons are called valence electrons and they are responsible for the formation of chemical bonds either ionic or covalent when atoms react with each other.

Outer most electrons hold immense importance in the type of chemical bonding an atom will go through in the formation of a molecule.

For example, sodium has only one electron in outermost shell so it is very hard for sodium to share electrons and become stable. Therefore, it never goes for covalent bonding but only goes for ionic bonding where it gives off one electron to another atom (say chlorine who has 7 electrons in outermost shell) and in this process sodium chloride is formed and both sodium and chlorine get stable electronic configuration.

Please see picture for better understanding. Therefore, we can say that  Electrons in the outermost energy level are usually involved in chemical reactions which are called chemical bonding or formation of chemical bonds.

Hope it help!

In the nucleus, __________ tell cells what to do and how to change.
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

The nucleus regulates the synthesis of proteins in the cytoplasm through the use of messenger RNA (mRNA). Messenger RNA is a transcribed DNA segment that serves as a template for protein production. It is produced in the nucleus and travels to the cytoplasm through the nuclear pores of the nuclear envelope, which you'll read about below. Once in the cytoplasm, ribosomes and another RNA molecule called transfer RNA work together to translate mRNA in order to produce proteins.

Retrieve your plant specimens. If you have an Edmentum lab kit, your specimens are a cork section, Zea
Tcecarenko [31]

In the plant, when a cell divides into two daughter cells, we observe in this experiment Mitosis, which is the cell division that allows the plant to elongate and occurs in the meristematic tissues that are at the ends of the plants. Whereas meiosis is restricted to reproductive tissue and forms gametes that will form new seeds through fertilization, carrying genes from one generation to another.

<h3>How does mitosis occur in plant cells?</h3>

In plant cells, division takes place from the inside out – centripetal cytokinesis. In plant cells, cytokinesis is centrifugal, from the outside to the inside: there is the formation of a lamella, which grows from the center to the periphery and separates the two cells.

With this information, we can conclude that through successive mitotic divisions that the zygote (cell generated after the meeting of gametes) manages to originate all the cells of its organism. Mitosis, therefore, is responsible for the growth and development of embryos.
