Eight valence electrons need to be present in carbon's outer shell, when considering covalent bonding. The three major types of covalent bonds are single, double, and triple bonds. A carbon atom can form the following bonds: Four single bonds.

Describe ecosystem Please.

astraxan [27]

Answer: An ecosystem is a community of living organisms in conjunction with the nonliving components of their environment, interacting as a system. These biotic and abiotic components are linked together through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into plant tissue. By feeding on plants and on one another, animals play an important role in the movement of matter and energy through the system. They also influence the quantity of plant and microbial biomass present. By breaking down dead organic matter, decomposers release carbon back to the atmosphere and facilitate nutrient cycling by converting nutrients stored in dead biomass back to a form that can be readily used by plants and other microbes.

Explain the differences in the three types of RNA by connecting it to a factory.

kykrilka [37]

${\huge{\sf{\green{\underline {\underline {Answer }}}}}}$

Three major types of RNA are mRNA, or messenger RNA, that serve as temporary copies of the information found in DNA; rRNA, or ribosomal RNA, that serve as structural components of protein-making structures known as ribosomes; and finally, tRNA, or transfer RNA, that ferry amino acids to the ribosome to be assembled .

RNA carries genetic information from the nucleus to ribosomes for the synthesis of proteins; while tRNA carries specific amino acids to the ribosomes to assist the protein biosynthesis, and on the other hand, rRNA provides the structural framework for the formation of ribosomes.
