Answer: b. one atom transfers an electron to another atom
Explanation:
An ionic bond is also called as the electrovalent bond. It is a type of linkage that is formed by the electrostatic attraction formed between ions of opposite charge in a chemical compound.
These bonds are formed when the valence electrons from one of the atom are transferred to the another atom.
Answer:
implantation – the process by which the zygote attaches to the uterine wall.
Answer:
Granulosa cells
Explanation:
Foliculogenesis is a dynamic and complex process through which the follicle goes through many stages of development in a short period (approximately 60 days in humans and some chimpanzees).
The stages classification is based on morphological changes such as follicular size or diameter, the number of follicular cell layers, etcetera. These classifications might vary among authors but could be denominated as:
- De Graaf follicles (This is the one shown in the image)
Through each stage, there are certain modifications in the oocyte, follicular cells, and connective tissue. As the oocyte grows, the follicular cells might reach a size twice or three times bigger than the ones of the primordial follicles. Their shape also changes and they adopt an aspect of stratified epithelium. Their cytoplasm gets a granulous aspect, after what these cells receive the name of <u><em>granulous cells</em></u>. The De Graaf follicle characterizes for having a space named follicular antro that displaces the oocyte to one of the sides.
The oocyte at this point gets surrounded by <u>zona pellucida</u> and <u>corona radiata </u>.
The follicular antro (The highlighted structure) separates the oocyte from the externally located <u>granulosa cells</u> or follicular cells.
