Answer: The correct answer is they form an ionic bond by exchanging an electron.

Explanation: There are 2 types of bond that can be formed between the elements.

1. Ionic bond: These bonds are formed when there is a complete transfer of electrons from one element to another. The element which donates an electron is a n electropositive element and an element which accepts an electrons is an electronegative element.

2. Covalent bond: These bonds are formed when there is sharing of electrons between two elements.

Lithium is the 3rd-element of the periodic table having electronic configuration: $1s^22s^1$

This element can easily loose 1 electron.

Fluorine is the 9th-element of the periodic table having electronic configuration: $1s^22s^22p^5$

This element can easily accept 1 electron.

Hence, these elements form ionic bond because there is complete transfer of electrons from lithium to fluorine. As, only 1 electron is getting transferred from lithium to fluorine. Therefore, the correct answer is they form an ionic bond by exchanging an electron.

Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Size of the band varied

Explanation:

In the given question, the options are not provided but based on the information provided in the question, it can be predicted.

When the DNA was digested by the HindIII, then the length of the digest came about 1000 bp and the undigested DNA was also found 1000 bp.

When both the bands were analysed by Gel electrophoresis then the bands do not run to the same distance therefore this shows that the size of both the bands was not equal and their size varied.

Thus, the size of the band varied is correct.

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer;

-In the smooth ER

In certain kinds of muscle cells, calcium ions are stored in the smooth ER.

Explanation;

-The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is the part of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) which does not have ribosomes bound to it, thus not exhibiting the bumpy appearance shown by the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

-The smooth ER is important in the synthesis of lipids, such as cholesterol and phospholipids, which form all the membranes of the organism. In addition it is important for the synthesis and secretion of steroid hormones from cholesterol and other lipid precursors.

Starches help give you an extra boost of energy during your workout. Starches, as well as sugars, eventually break down into glucose -- your body's main fuel source.

Explanation:

When you eat starchy foods, you'll have a supported energy level over a period of numerous hours. This is separate from sugars, which are simple polysaccharides that give you a quick surge of energy but do blank to keep your energy levels running.
