An attraction between atoms that share one or more pairs of outer shell electrons |
|
Hydrogen Bond |
A type of weak chemical bond formed when a partially positive hydrogen atom from one polar molecule is is attracted to the partially negative atom in another water molecule |
|
How do single celled organisms move with flagella? |
The flagella is like a whip, which beats around the water or other liquid, which propels the organism forward |
|
How do single celled organisms move with cilia? |
Cilia act as oars, which allow the single celled organism to move rapidly through the liquid |
|
How do single celled organisms move with pseudopodia? |
They move part of themselves into an area, then slowly flow into that designated. |
