Chemistry
This type of bond forms when electrons are transferred from one atom to another.
What is an ionic bond?
This process allows plants to convert sunlight into chemical energy.
What is photosynthesis?
This force opposes motion between two surfaces in contact.
What is friction?
This system of the body includes the brain and spinal cord and controls body activities.
