Term
DNA is NOT inside a nucleus. Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes?
Definition
Prokaryotes
Term
These have mitochondria. Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes?
Definition
Eukaryotes.
Term
They have cell sizes that can barely been detected by light microscopes. Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes?
Definition
Prokaryotes
Term
Have a protective cell wall made of cellulose. Prokaryotes or Eukaryotes?
Definition
Both
Term
A weak bond that does not form a new molecule. Ionic bond, polar covalent bond, non-polar covalent bond, hydrogen bond?
Definition
hydrogen bond
Term
H2O is held together by this type of bond. Ionic bond, polar covalent bond, non-polar covalent bond, hydrogen bond?
Definition
polar covalent bond
Term
Bond where electrons are shared equally? Ionic bond, polar covalent bond, non-polar covalent bond, hydrogen bond?
Definition
non-polar covalent bond. It's equal and even, therefore it's not polarized in one direction or the other.
Term
Involves giving and receiving electrons. Ionic bond, polar covalent bond, non-polar covalent bond, hydrogen bond?
Definition
ionic bond.
Term
