A sweat test, which measures the amount of chloride in sweat, and a genetic test, which detects chromosomal mutations associated with the disease.

Hopefully that helped!! Mark me brainliest if you can ;)

<h2>Answer is option "A"</h2>

Explanation:

Oils and fats, which in science are called lipids, are known as amphipathic molecules. These molecules have two distinct ends to them: a water-loving (hydrophilic) side and a water-fearing (hydrophobic) side. While the hydrophilic sides of a lipid will associate with the water in a solution, the hydrophobic sides of the lipid all cluster together to 'hide' from the water. Lipids therefore cluster together and form spheres where the hydrophobic sides are in the center away from the water while the hydrophilic sides are on the outside, associating with the water.
The ability of the atoms within a group to form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules around them makes them hydrophilic. Oxygen and nitrogen atoms readily form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, so any organic molecules that have oxygen or nitrogen atoms bound to their carbon skeletons will be hydrophilic.
For example, if we take the molecule for cholesterol, we see the OH group on the left is hydrophilic and will form hydrogen bonds with water, while the ring structures, which only consist of hydrogen and carbon atoms, are hydrophobic and will not associate with the water.
There are many different kinds of lipids with different functions. Lets start by examining phospholipids, which compose the cell membranes of animals. They form lipid bilayers, with one set of hydrophilic heads facing the exterior of the cell membrane and the other set facing the interior (as you can see on the diagram on screen). The hydrophobic portions of the lipid bilayer - the lipid tails - face towards one another, which allows them to hide away from the water inside and outside of the cell.
So,the right answer is option A "amphipathic molecules".

Semmy [17]

As we get closer to the coral reef, there are going to be several things we notice. The first thing we notice will be the large number of coral that seem to have lost their color, turning bright white. In addition, if we are in Florida, we may see something called the stony coral tissue loss disease. This disease has been of great concern in recent years in Floridian waters. Looking at these two changes, we can see that both are from the impact of climate change. As the water warms, the stress on the coral reaches a high point and they start to bleach and become more susceptible to several diseases.

I hope I've helped! :)

Answer:

to maintain homeostasis

Explanation:

The bionic pancreas is a technology created to reduce and adjust blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes. This external device was developed by Ed Damiano's lab at Boston University. This management system is well known to maintain homeostasis by managing blood sugar levels: the bionic pancreas contains two pumps, one with insulin and the second one with glucagon for controlling the sugar levels when they change in the blood.
