Answer:

For A: The correct answer is Option E.

For B: The correct answer is Option E.

Explanation:

For A:

Ionic compound is defined as the compound which is formed by complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom.

This bond is usually formed between a metal and a non-metal or a metal reacts with a polyatomic ion or a reaction between two polyatomic ions takes place.

For the given options:

Option A: $RbNO_3$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Rb^+\text{ and }NO_3^-$ ions. Rubidium is a metal and nitrate is a polyatomic ion

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option B: $Na_2SO_4$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Na^+\text{ and }SO_4^{2-}$ ions. Sodium is a metal and sulfate is a polyatomic ion

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option C: $MgCl_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Mg^{2+}\text{ and }Cl^-$ ions. Magnesium is a metal and chlorine is a non-metal

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Option D: $NaI$

This compound is formed by the combination of $Na^+\text{ and }I^-$ ions. Sodium is a metal and iodine is a non-metal

Hence, it is an ionic compound.

Thus, the correct answer is Option E.

For B:

Covalent compound is defined as the compound which is formed when sharing of electrons takes place between the atoms. This is usually formed between two non-metals.

Option A: $SO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of sulfur and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option B: $C_2H_2O$

This compound is formed by the combination of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. All are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option C: $NO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of nitrogen and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Option D: $SiO_2$

This compound is formed by the combination of silicon and oxygen atoms. Both are non-metals.

Hence, it is a covalent compound.

Thus, the correct answer is Option E.

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Collagen is a "fibrous proteins" present in the extracellular matrix.

Explanation:

Protein are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids and is made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulfur and is found in many foods. Proteins are organic molecules found in living organisms.

There are three types of proteins; fibrous, globular, and membrane.

Collagen which is a fibrous proteins, form muscle fiber, tendons, connective tissue and bone.

Collagen are naturally occurring proteins that consist of single molecules made up of amino-acids, which are in turn built of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. It is mostly found in fibrous tissues such as tendons, ligaments, and skin.

The synthesis of collagen occurs in two stages: intracellular and extracellular.

Collagen is an abundant connective tissues such as cartilage, tendons, bones, and ligaments. Collagen is a contributing factor to variation in meat tenderness and texture.
