Answer:

Option B, fatty acids

Explanation:

Fatty acids are actively involved into large range of biological signaling pathways. When a diet is taken, the polyunsaturated lipids with in it peroxidate to produce powerful signals mediators. For example it produce  eicosanoid which is  peroxidation of LDL . Eicosanoid plays a very important role in modulating metabolic and neurological pathways.

They act as fuel source as they release fatty acids which are similar to fatty acids formed during the breakdown of glucose. Therefore these fatty acids generate energy while going thorugh the same path as that of fatty acid released during breakdown of glucose

They store energy and  form the cell membrane

Hence, option B is correct

Diffusion, Osmosis and Enzymes
Nana76 [90]

The given statements can be matched as following:

a)The diffusion of water from a high concentration to a low concentration  - Osmosis

b)Lowers the amount of energy needed to perform chemical reactions - Enzymes

c)When you breath O2 passes into your blood stream while CO2 passes out of your blood stream -Simple Diffusion

d)Involved with, but does not become a part of chemical reactions -Enzymes

e)Small molecules with no charge can move through semi-permeable membranes by this process- Simple Diffusion

Explanation:

a) Osmosis is generally defined as the process by which water is transported from a region of Higher concentration to the region of Lower concentration.

b) Enzymes are well known to reduce the amount of energy required or needed for a chemical reaction to take place.

c)The process by which oxygen passes through our blood stream and carbondioxide passes through the other is known as simple diffusion process.

d) Enzymes are ones that actively gets involved in the chemical reaction but they will never become a part of that chemical reaction.

e) Diffusion is the process by which very small molecules that carries no charge moves through semi permeable membrane.

A biologist studying a desert ecosystem observes that the population of a lizard species increases following a particularly hot,
bekas [8.4K]
Based on the description of events, being that the lizard population appears to increase as soon as the snake population decreases, it appears that the snakes prey on the lizards. This suggests that the snake is a keystone species. A keystone species is one that has a dramatic effect on maintaining the balance of an ecosystem. As soon as the snake population decreases, major changes occur to the ecosystem, such as the lizard population increasing.

Therefore, the answer is D: <span>The snake is a keystone species in the ecosystem.</span>

What are the characteristic of solute plssss po​
valentina_108 [34]

Solute is the substance that dissolves

  • Solute is a minor component
  • Solvent is a major component
  • Solutions is a mixture where the solute is uniformly distributed in the solvent.
  • Solution  is homogeneous mixture that contains particles the size of a typical ion or small molecule.
  • The mass of the solute dissolved per unit volume of solvent is called Concentration
  • Solubility is The concentration of a saturated solution
  • Solutes lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of a solvent.
  • Saturated Solution is a solution in which no more solid can be dissolved
  • Unsaturated Solution is solution in which more solid can be dissolved
  • Precipitate is a solid that crystallizes out of a saturated solution as it is cooled.
