Why do atoms gain, lose, or share electrons?

2 answers:

6 0

Atoms gain, lose, or share electrons to gain a full outer, valence shell. Since most atoms have an outer shell that isn't completely full, they will bond with other atoms or ions to gain a full valence shell.

(Side note: This is why noble gases do not bond; they already have a complete valence shell.)

Hope this helps!

Which of the following statements about the import of protein to the nucleus is correct? Choose all that apply.

dem82 [27]

The correct statements are:

•An NLS can be a monopartite or bipartite signal which includes a significant number of basic amino acids.

• The recycling of importins back to their original conformation requires GTP hydrolysis in the cytoplasm.

The other answers are incorrect because GTP is not required for an importin to bind to an NLS but for the release of importin and an NES or nuclear export signal is the sequence in a protein for export from the cell nucleus to the cytoplasm, not to the nucleolus.
