Answer:

4) Elements cannot be broken down into another substance

Explanation:

Compounds are made up of multiple elements (different or same element). Whereas, elements are made up of single type of atoms. Water is a compound which can be broken down into Hydrogen and oxygen using chemical reactions whereas, you cannot break elements down into another substance.

Answer:

Common examples include carbon, sulfur, oxygen, iron, copper, aluminium. Elements are represented by symbols. Compounds are substances made from atoms of different elements joined by chemical bonds. They can only be separated by a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Substances can be categorised as either elements or compounds. Both of these are made up of atoms, the only difference is an element is made of one type of atom whereas compounds are made of two or more different types of atoms.

DNA replication occurs during which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle?

wariber [46]

In eukaryotic cells the DNA can be found in the nucleus mainly. so DNA replication takes place in the nucleus during the S phase of the cell cycle.

Also in eukaryotic cells there are mitochondria and chloroplasts (plants) and these have circular DNA and they also get replicated (according to their own mechanism).

Prokaryotic cells don't contain a nucleus. They do not contain DNA in the cytoplasm and thus the DNA replication will take place here.

I really hope this helps!
