What type of bond occurs when one atom donates an electron to another?
Ionic bond
What are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins?
Amino acids
What structure acts as the cell’s boundary and controls what enters/exits?
Cell Membrane/Plasma membrane
What happens to an animal cell in a hypertonic solution?
It shrivels due to water loss.
What small hair-like structures help bacteria move?
