Which scenario would cause a covalent bond to form?

Biology
1 answer:
nekit [7.7K]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: A) Two atoms share electrons so they can fill their outer shells

Explanation: A covalent bond is a type of bond formed by sharing equal number of electrons between two non-metal atoms so that both of them can attain a stable octet or duplet structure of noble gases.

In covalent bonding, there is no loss or gain of electrons between atoms. For example, the formation of chlorine molecule, chlorine atom has seven electrons in its outermost shell, remaining one electron to attain an octet structure of noble gases. Two chlorine atoms share one pair of electron, each chlorine atom donating one electron to form a pair so that each atom in the chlorine molecule attains an octet structure..

Which is an advantage of flowering plants?
Delicious77 [7]

flowers attract  insects that transport gamete


Flowers in plants are an attractor of insects and birds which then act as dispersal agents for the male sex cells or gametes called pollen.


Flowers also help the plants to have more options of achieving pollination in that they do not have to depend on the wind for transfer of pollen. Insects and birds are significantly more efficient as agents of pollination than wind.

Making an analogy between hearing and vision, the auditory hair cells in the_____ are similar to the _____ in the _____
TiliK225 [7]

Answer;

-Cochlea; rods and cones; retina

Making an analogy between hearing and vision, the auditory hair cells in the cochlea are similar to the rods and cones in the retina.

Explanation;

-There are two types of photoreceptors in the human retina, rods and cones.  Rods are responsible for vision at low light levels (scotopic vision). They do not mediate color vision, and have a low spatial acuity.

-Cones are active at higher light levels (photopic vision), are capable of color vision and are responsible for high spatial acuity. The central fovea is populated exclusively by cones.

The cochlea is a portion of the inner ear that looks like a snail shell. It receives sound in the form of vibrations, which cause the stereocilia to move. The stereocilia then convert these vibrations into nerve impulses which are taken up to the brain to be interpreted.

5. How do enzymes found in your saliva aid in digestion?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

the answer is C) They increase the rate of the chemical reactions involved in digestion

Explanation:

The digestive functions of saliva include moistening food, and helping to create a food bolus, so it can be swallowed easily. Saliva contains the enzyme amylase that breaks some starches down into maltose and dextrin. Thus, digestion of food occurs within the mouth, even before food reaches the stomach.
