Kolaches, soft pastries of yeasted dough with a divot in the center, traditionally filled with sweetened cheese or fruit, are a humble link to the Old World. “Maybe the most important thing is that kolaches, in some form, continue to be made,” said Ms. Orsak, the folklorist. “And they continue to be eaten.

This tissue has cells that are clustered tightly. This tissue is avascular which implies that it should get nourishment through the diffusion of the substances from the connective tissue that is underlying via basement membrane.

They are highly specialised for selective secretion and absorption of ions and molecules. Epithelial cells line any surface that comes into contact with the external environment.

Epithelium may also line the surface of internal organs. An epithelial cells is said to be polarised as either side of the cell differs in terms of structure and function.", "1) Epithelial Tissue. Epithelial tissue forms the covering or lining of free body surfaces, both internal and external.

Each of these mechanisms is discussed in greater detail in the following sections.", "Mutation can result in several different types of change in sequences.

Insertion: Extra DNA nucleoties are added to the DNA strand. 2. Deletion: DNA nucleotides are deleted, therefore, changing the … DNA sequence. 3. Translocation: parts of chromosomes are exchanged.

Acquired mutations in somatic cells (cells other than sperm and egg cells) cannot be passed on to the next generation.

Only bonds between the same elements are truly nonpolar. The higher the difference in electronegativity, the more polar the bond is. Take a look at this table of electronegavities and let's try some examples. http://www.tutor-homework.com/Chemistry_... If an electron pair is 50/50 shared between two atoms, then the bond is non-polar, and covalent. If the electron pair moves a bit towards the more electronegative atom of the pair, it becomes polar covalent. If the pair moves completely to one end (big electronegativity difference) the bond is called ionic", "By Anne Marie Helmenstine, Ph.D. Polar Bond Definition: A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons forming the bond are unequally distributed.

Nonpolar covalent bonds are a type of chemical bond where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other.

In a polar covalent bond, the electrons are not equally shared because one atom spends more time with the electrons than the other atom. They are not equally sharing the toys. This unequal sharing also happens with a type of bond called polar covalent bonding.

The electrons are unequally shared, with the oxygen atom spending more time with electrons than the hydrogen atoms.

In this bond, the chlorine atom spends more time with the electrons than the hydrogen atom. They are not equally sharing the toys.

In a polar covalent bond, the electrons shared by the atoms spend a greater amount of time, on the average, closer to the Oxygen nucleus than the Hydrogen nucleus.
