<span>An ionic bond is a complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. This generally happens between atoms that have opposite electronegativity. This means one has very few atoms in their outer shell, while the other has many. A common example of an ionic bond is that of salt, with Na and Cl. Sodium has one electron in its outer shell, in which it transfers to chloride to make an ionic bond.
</span><span>
Ionic bonds are usually found in dry forms such as salts and are found in compounds throughout the human body. Ionic compounds are generally water soluble.</span>
DNA<span> - As you recall, DNA is formed in the shape of a double helix. The double strands of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds. Each single strand has a backbone made of sugar and phosphate, as well as either a purine (adenine or guanine) or pyrimidine (cytosine or thymine). Each purine is connected to a pyrimidine through a hydrogen bond, giving the double DNA strand strength, and flexibility. This bond holds the two sides of DNA together, each bond contributing to the overall strength of DNA. When DNA is replicated, special enzymes known as DNA helicase "unzip" DNA and these bonds are broken so the two strands can be individually replicated.</span>

Explain how a streamlined, smooth, nearly hairless body is a beneficial adaptation for marine animals.
lana66690 [7]

Most of the marine animals have a stream lined body, which means, they have a sharp and pointed at the front. The pointed front of the organism allow to cut the resistance of the water. In case, the body is not pointed at the front and it is blunt, the water current and flow would resist the movement of the organism further. So, for the locomotion purpose, it is important to have a streamlined body. Further smooth and hair less body also decrease the resistance during the movement in the water.
