The function of chylomicrons is to transport lipids from the intestine to other organs.

Hence option (c) is correct.

Chylomicrons, also known as ultra low-density lipoproteins (ULDL), are lipoprotein particles that are composed primarily of triglycerides (85-92%), phospholipids (6-12%), cholesterol (1-3%), and proteins (1-2%).

Chylomicrons carry lipids ingested from the intestine to the adipose, cardiac, and skeletal muscle tissue, where their triglyceride components are digested by the action of the lipoprotein lipase, releasing the free fatty acids that can then be absorbed by the tissues.

The term "chylomicron" comes from the Greek words "chylos" (meaning juice (of plants or animals) and "micron" (meaning small particle).

They move dietary fats out of the intestines and into other parts of the body.

One of the five main categories of lipoproteins (grouped by density) that allow lipids and cholesterol to circulate inside the bloodstream's water-based solution is the ULDLs.

Destruction of tropical rain forests: helps maintain global temperatures
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

B. reduces the amount of water vapor

Explanation:

Tropical rainforests is an area of vegetation comprising of predominantly trees. Trees play a major part in sustaining the environment, and hence, the destruction of trees will result in certain negative effects or impacts on the environment.

One of the effects of destroying rainforests according to the options in the question, is the reduction in the amount of water vapor. Trees in rainforests contribute to the addition of water vapor to the atmosphere via transpiration (loss of water through their stomata). Hence, destruction of tropical rain forests will reduce the amount of water vapor.
