What major structure brings oxygen and nutrients to the cells and carries away waste?

Biology

liubo4ka [24]4 years ago
6 0
<span>The major structure that supplies the cells with nutrients and removes their waste is the circulatory system. The circulatory system is composed of the heart, the blood vessels going from and back to the heart, and the blood that travels inside them. The blood vessels that carry nutrient and oxygen-rich blood to the cells are arteries. They become the thinner arterioles, and then the thinnest capillaries. With the exception of the pulmonary arteries, which carry non-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs, all arteries carry oxygenated blood. The capillaries disburse the nutrients and oxygen to the cells and pick up wastes and carbon dioxide, form into the thicker venules, then to form veins, which lead back to the heart (with the exception of the pulmonary veins, which carry oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart). Veins also differ from arteries in that veins have valves to prevent blood from flowing backward.</span>

Compare and contrast the two types of bonds
stepan [7]

Answer:

An ionic bond is formed between a metal and a non-metal. Covalent bonding is a form of chemical bonding between two non metallic atoms which is characterized by the sharing of pairs of electrons between atoms and other covalent bonds.

Explanation:

There are two types of atomic bonds - ionic bonds and covalent bonds. They differ in their structure and properties. Covalent bonds consist of pairs of electrons shared by two atoms, and bind the atoms in a fixed orientation. Relatively high energies are required to break them (50 - 200 kcal/mol). Whether two atoms can form a covalent bond depends upon their electronegativity i.e. the power of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself. If two atoms differ considerably in their electronegativity - as sodium and chloride do - then one of the atoms will lose its electron to the other atom. This results in a positively charged ion (cation) and negatively charged ion (anion). The bond between these two ions is called an ionic bond.
