Why are covalent bonds form when an electron is completely lost or gained from an atom

Biology
1 answer:
Andrei [34K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Covalent bonds are the types of Bond which is formed by sharing of an electron between two atoms of same element or two different elements. The bond which is formed by the completely lost or gained of an atom is known as ionic bond.

Explanation:

The most common example of covalent bond is formed from carbon atom. The valence of carbon atom is 4. Therefore, it is very hard to gain or lose an electron from the carbon atom. Therefore, the carbon tends to share the electron instead of completely losing or gaining the electron.

Ionic bond is very common and it can be formed by many elements from the periodic table. Ionic bond is more stable and stronger when compared to the covalent bond in nature.

Which of the following is NOT one of the Nervous System Functions?. Single choice.
Neko [114]

Answer:

4. Absorb extra fluid between the cells

Explanation:

The nervous system (SN) is a complex system that acts to receive sensory information through nerves, transmit this information via the spinal cord and finally process it in the brain. The SN has three main roles: sensory input, processing and motor output. The SN can be divided into the central nervous system (composed of the brain and spinal cord), and the peripheral nervous system (composed of those nerves located outside the brain and spinal cord). Moreover, the extracellular fluid between the cells comprises four types of fluids: 1-intravascular fluid (blood), 2-interstitial fluid, 3--transcellular fluid and 4-cerebrospinal fluid. The excess of these fluids is absorbed by the capillaries of the lymphatic system.

What is the association between tropomyosin and troponin molecules in resting striated muscle fibers?
ryzh [129]
The correct answer is that "t<span>roponin holds the tropomyosin in place on the actin".

In excitation-contraction coupling, tropomyosin prevents the interaction between actin and myosin in resting muscles. In the event of excitation, there is release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum wherein the troponin will bind this calcium and will release tropomyosin and expose myosin enabling it to attach to actin and therefore facilitating muscle contraction.</span>

How do earthworms get oxygen to their cells?
Ksju [112]

They breathe through their skin. Air dissolves on the mucus of their skin, so they MUST stay moist to breathe.

If worms dry out, they suffocate. As fresh air is taken in through the skin, oxygen is drawn into the worm's circulatory system, and the worm's hearts pump the oxygenated blood to the head area.
