Answer: has a partial positive and negative charges at each end

Explanation:-

Electronegativity is defined as the property of an element to attract a shared pair of electron towards itself.

A polar covalent bond is defined as the bond which is formed when there is a difference of electronegativities between the atoms. It is also defined as the bond which is formed due to the unequal sharing of electrons between the atoms.

Water is formed by the sharing of electrons between hydrogen and oxygen where the shared pair lies more towards oxygen due to its high electronegativity and thus bears a partial negative charge.Whereas hydrogen being less electronegative bears a partial positive charge.

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Each replicated chromosome pairs with its corresponding homologous chromosome forming a tetrad. During tetrad formation, alleles can be exchanged between chromatids, a process called crossing-over.

Mitochondrial inner membrane fragments that contain ATP synthase can be isolated in the lab. Under appropriate conditions, these

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

The optimum pH of ATP synthase is 6.4 therefore maximum activity will occur at pH7 by the vesicle, however because the concentration of the three , is relatively the same , and exhibited equal effects on the pH, catalysis by the vesicle will not take place BECAUSE NO HYDROGEN ION IS AVAILABLE to supply the energy

Generally the synthase activity decreases with drops in pH. The lower pH of 6.5 from the set point value , will affect catalysis.

The low pH lead to increase in concentration of base in the buffer solution. Therefore more H + are produced .for the synthesis of ATP. The vesicle catalyzed ATP production. But the increase in hydrogen ion concentration with time affect the 3 dimensional structure of the ATPase synthase enzyme in the vesicle and increases the inhibitory effect of ADP therefore the vesicle stops the catalysis.
