Atoms gain electrons to form anions.
Atoms lose electrons to form cations.
Back in middle school, my chemistry teacher taught me a good way to remember whether an ion was a cation or an anion. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes positive, and when an atom gains an electron, it becomes negative.
Cation sort of sounds like “cat,” which is positive (Yay! Cats!).
Anions, on the other hand, sounds like “onion,” which is negative (Ew! Onions!).
There’s other ways of memorizing it, but this way was the easiest for me.

Answer:
False
Explanation:
Humans all around the world has a body temperature similar, humans like all the mammals are endothermic (the body temperature is regulated for itself) animals, this means that our temperature doesn't change according to the climate.
Also the flow of the blood in our body changes according to the heart rate, while more bits per second our heart does, more blood flows in our extremities.
So it's false that human evolved in colder have more blood flowing into their extremities, and at a hotter temperature, than people living in warmer climates.
Answer:
Yes! I think modern whales are different from whales of the past.
Explanation: I think this because past whales didn't have as much worry than pass whales because of the pollution and all of the over fishing going on. Hope this helps, have a gooooooood day!
Answer:
Primary succession occurs in areas without any soil where basically nothing is there. After an event such as a volcanic eruption, pioneer species such as lichens and mosses are able to colonize the land since they can grow without soil and are primitive. Lichens can break down rock to form soil and they can add small amounts of organic matter to the rocks when they decompose to make even more soil. Simple plants like ferns can then grow in the created soil. After these simple plants die, more organic material is added to the soil and the soil thickens, allowing grasses, wildflowers, and other plants to begin to take over. Next, after these plants die, enough nutrients are added to the soil for trees and shrubs to survive. Finally, insects, small birds, and mammals begin to move into the area and form a community, so what was once bare rock can now support a variety of life.
Answer:
The contents of the cell, or the structures of the cell, allow the cell to be "specialized". Together with the cell's proteins, they allow the cell to do specific things. They allow a cell to act like a neuron or a bone cell or a skin cell.
