A cell is like a factory in many ways.

For one, the cell typically contains many organelles that have several varying functions. In a factory, you have many workers who perform different tasks, just as the organelles in the cell do.

Another reason is that cells contain a nucleus or the boss/brain of the cell. In factories, this could be considered the boss of the workplace that tells each and every worker, or organelle, what to do.

The selectively permeable membrane of a cell also resembles a factory as it only lets in workers or special guests. The cell's membrane only lets in specific materials, hence the selectively permeable membrane.

These are just a few ways as to how the cell is like a factory.

Hope this helps!

Harman [31]

Halogens are a group of elements consisting of Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine and Astatine. In their ionic form, they have a superscript of -1, for example, chloride ion is Cl-1. These means that they readily accept one electron in order to achieve the Octet rule. The Octet rule states that each atom must contain 8 electrons in their valence shell for it to be stable. The most stable set of elements are the noble gases. Because they already fulfill the Octet rule, they no longer take part in reactions. Halogens are also very electronegative, meaning, they attract more electrons toward them. This is also a consequence of the Octet rule.

From the choices, the answers would be:
<span>they require only one electron to complete their outer shell
they have a high electronegativity</span>

Pollen is transferred from the stamen of one flower to the stigma of another. What has occurred?

Digiron [165]

Cross-pollination is the transfer of pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigma of another flower on a different individual of the same species. Self-pollination occurs in flowers where the stamen and carpel mature at the same time, and are positioned so that the pollen can land on the flower's stigma.

Which statement describes the distribution of charge in an atom?

miv72 [106K]

The correct answer is:

A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons

The explanation:

when:

proton is a positively charged elementary particle that is a fundamental constituent of all atomic nuclei.

neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of every atom except that of simple hydrogen. The particle derives its name from the fact that it has no electrical charge

electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. It can be either free (not attached to any atom), or bound to the nucleus of an atom .

so, , there are positively charged protons and zero-charged neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Therefore, the nucleus is positively charged, Surrounding the nucleus, the electrons have negative charge.

Thus, the correct answer is (3): A positively charged nucleus is surrounded by one or more negatively charged electrons is correct.
