Iodine is a larger molecule, with more electrons, than chlorine. Therefore Iodine has stronger intermolecular forces than chlorine, which require more energy to break. This results in Iodine having a high...

Oxygen acts as the final electron acceptor in the electron transfer chain, resulting in the formation of H₂O. This is essential because without it, the electron transfer chain cannot function r...

exchange surfaces require a small diffusion distance enabling the fast exchange of compounds, good blood supply to maintain a concentration gradient. This allows for the most efficient diffusion

A covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between 2 atoms.An example of a simple covalent molecule is CH₄ (methane)

The major difference between both of these processes is why they are used, DNA replication is used for cell division in the S phase of the cell cycle. mRNA transcription is used in protein synthesis and t...
