Answer:

Option B, ionic bonds; salt

Explanation:

All medicines either in the form of pills or liquid interact with our body by forming a bond with target specific receptors. For instance if a pain killer is taken then it shall form bond with receptors produced by pain and inflammation

So medicines are basically chemical which interact with biomolecules such as enzymes, nucleic acid, hormones, ions etc. by forming ionic bond, hydrogen bond, van der wall force etc. in the active site of enzyme.    

These salt molecule remain stable in normal conditions but as they come in contact with digestive system of the body (with different pH) they release the drugs

Hence, option B is correct

During Interphase there are 3 major steps, G1, S, and the G2 phase.

uranmaximum [27]
<span>Streptococcus is a genus of coccus (spherical) Gram-positive bacteria belonging to the phylum Firmicutes[3] and the order Lactobacillales (lactic acid bacteria). Cell division in this genus occurs along a single axis in these bacteria, thus they grow in chains or pairs, hence the name—from Greekstreptos, meaning easily bent or twisted, like a chain (twisted chain). Contrast this with staphylococci, which divide along multiple axes and generate grape-like clusters of cells.)</span>
