The elements potassium (K) and chlorine (CI) can form an ionic bond. Which of the following

Biology
1 answer:
musickatia [10]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

As chlorine has 7 valence electrons, it tends to form bonds to gain one electron (to get a full valence shell of 8).On the other hand, potassium has one valence electron, so it tends to lose this electron to other atoms (and

become a cation)

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer: The options are not given, here are the options.

A. One species is much better competitor than the other.

B. Periodic disturbances allow for coexistence.

C. Two species tended to use different resources.

D. The two species experienced interference competition and not exploitative competition.

The correct option C.

Two species tended to use different resources.

Explanation:

From Gause experiments on competing paramecium pairs, He found out that most times both species persisted and sometimes only one did because the two species uses different resources.

Organisms normally compete for limited resources in order to survive and one intend to compete well while other suffer. Both in the case of competing paramecium pairs, the pair use different resources which make the to persist and survive well. Once the resource of one finishes, the other one will persist because it is still surviving on its available resources.

Match each atom to the corresponding number of electrons it will steal or give away.
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => c. steals 1 electron

2. Calcium (2 electrons) => a. gives away 2 electrons

3. Oxygen (6 electrons) => d. steals 2 electrons

4. Lithium (1 electron) => e. gives away 1 electron

5. Xenon (8 electrons) => b. neither gives away nor steals any electron

Explanation:

Given the following valence electrons of the atoms listed above, each atom can be matched to its corresponding number of electrons it can steal or give away as they form bonds and attain a stable state:

1. Fluorine (7 electrons) => this will steal 1 electron from another atom to attain a stable state when it comes to make the number of electrons 8.

2. Calcium with 2 valence electrons, will give away this 2 electrons in its outer shell to be stable and form bond with another atom that will accept these 2 electrons.

3. Oxygen with 2 valence electrons, will steal 2 electrons to make the electrons in its outer shell 8, as it bonds with another atom to become stable.

4. Lithium will give away 1 electron to become stable when it combines.

5. Xenon with 8 electrons in its outer shell is in a stable state and kind of inert. It doesn't need to receive or steal any electron from or to any other atom in this state.

A. Mutualism<br>B.Commensalism<br>C.Parasitism<br>D.Predation​
KIM [24]

Answer:

D.Predation

Explanation:

Living organism interact with one another in their natural environment. The interaction of two organisms is called SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis, however, can be of different types depending on how the organisms relate. One type of symbiotic relationship between organisms is called PREDATION.

Predation is a relationship between two organism in which one organism called PREDATOR kills and feeds on the other organism called PREY in order to obtain energy. In this question, a Manta Ray and a zooplankton is shown.

The Manta ray is described as an aquatic organism that feeds on tiny species like fishes while the zooplankton is a tiny organism found in water bodies. The Manta Ray is the predator that kills and feeds on the zooplankton, hence, the relationship is a PREDATION.

The disease cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by a mutation to the CFTR gene which affects the respiratory, endocrine, reproductive
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer: DF508 mutation. A Genetic, Hereditary, Autosomal and Recessive Mutation.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a recessive autosomal lethal disease, it is most common on Caucasoid populations. Its diagnosis is suggested by the clinical features of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, persistent pulmonary colonization (particularly with mucoid Pseudomonas strains), meconium ileus, pancreatic insufficiency with or familiarity history of the disease. The FC gene is large, with about 250 Kb of genomic DNA, 27 exons representing about 5% of genomic DNA; encodes a 6.5 kb transcribed mRNA. This mRNA is transcribed into a protein of 1480 amino acid called CFTR (Regulator Transmembrane Conductance Cystic Fibrosis). When a three-base pair deletion, adenosine-thymine-thymine (ATT) identified in the CFTR gene, exon 10, it results in the loss of a single amino acid phenylalanine at position 508 of the protein. This mutation is called DF508; “D” stands for deletion and “F” for phenylalanine amino acid.
