    Distinguish between ionic bonds‚ covalent bonds (how are nonpolar and polar covalent bonds different)‚ and hydrogen bonds‚ noting their relative strengths and in what types of molecules they might be found. Give an example of each in a biological system. Covalent bonds are bonds that involve the sharing of a pair of valence electrons by two atoms. This type of bond is usually only between two nonmetal elements. Covalent bonds are strong bonds compared to other bonds‚ except ionic

    8 themes of biology relating to the cell membrane Science as a process: Science is a process which encompasses many methods in order to reach a final conclusion. This relates to the cell membrane because it carries out many processes to reach a final product. For example‚ the cell membrane forms a barrier between the inside of the cell and the outside‚ so that the chemical environments on the two sides can be different. The cell controls those differences to optimize the working of the organelles

    Assignment 1: Cell Membranes and Temperature Background Theory Beetroot contains betalain pigments within it’s vacuole‚ which gives it it’s purple-red colour‚ it’s this pigment which leaks out as the beetroot is heated and the cells membrane begins to break down. The practicals aim is to show the effect of temperature on the cell membrane by observing the colour change of the water the beetroot was placed in. The cell membrane is important as it controls the substances enters and leaves the cell with
