Oxygen is an element in the sixth group of the periodic table. This means it contains 6 electrons in its valence shell. Therefore, to complete its octet, it will prefer to gain two electrons rather than to donate 6. This is why its valency is -2. The relatively easy to achieve octet makes Oxygen a reactive element.

What is the function of the cell identified with the letter C? Normal adult human blood smear with three different formed elemen
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The leukocyte, commonly known as a white blood cell (or WBC), is a major component of the body’s defenses against disease. Leukocytes protect the body against invading microorganisms and body cells with mutated DNA, and they clean up debris. Platelets are essential for the repair of blood vessels when damage to them has occurred; they also provide growth factors for healing and repair.Although leukocytes and erythrocytes both originate from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow, they are very different from each other in many significant ways. For instance, leukocytes are far less numerous than erythrocytes: Typically there are only 5000 to 10,000 per µL. They are also larger than erythrocytes and are the only formed elements that are complete cells, possessing a nucleus and organelles. And although there is just one type of erythrocyte, there are many types of leukocytes. Most of these types have a much shorter lifespan than that of erythrocytes, some as short as a few hours or even a few minutes in the case of acute infection.

How is Mimicry helpful to organisms? Explain and give an example.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

It helps them survive

Explanation:

Mimicry is when animals have forms and coloration that makes them blend in with their environment, which helps them to escape from their predators or approach their prey undetected and thus mimicry helps organisms survive. An example is the stick insect. They look like real sticks in shape and color and even move in a way that resembles a stick movement by the wind. This way they may escape the sharp vision of many insectivorous birds.
