What are 2 ways cells in our bodies use lipids?

Biology

BaLLatris [955]3 years ago
7 0
Your body uses fats as a supply and store of energy: a gram of fat contains more than double the amount of energy present in a gram of carbohydrate. The steroids in your body include some hormones. Other lipids make up the outer layer of all your cells, and the fatty sheaths that insulate nerve fibres.

PART 1


1. The answer is low frequency electromagnetic waves are able to go around obstacles due to their larger wavelengths. This characteristic of lower frequency waves is due to their ability to diffract around obstacles such as buildings and hills. Therefore, they transmit over long distances unlike high frequency electromagnetic waves.

2. One disadvantage is interference. Electromagnetic waves of the same frequency transmitted at the same time will interfere with one other and therefore the signal will be lost or scrambled. Other electromagnetic waves such as microwaves are affected (interfered with) by weather elements.

3. Analogue signals are continuous signals with wave-like properties while digital signals are discrete signals or pulse (ons (1s) and offs (0s) that represent bits). Analogue signal is represented by a sine-wave while digital signal is represented by discrete squares waves.

4. Digital signals are less immune to eavesdropping unlike analogue signals. Analogue signal is also more prone to distortion unlike digital signal. Digital signals transmit more data than analogue signals. Digital signal draw less energy to transmit compared to analogue signal.

5. Broadcasting of TV is nowadays using digital signals due to the high number of available channels. Computers and the interne utilize digital signaling to transmit data. Controls systems such as radar system also use aspects of analogue waves. Sensors also utilize analogue waves especially transducers such as seismology equipment.


PART 2


1. One way is by sending radio waves to probes sent out in space to give them commands during exploration. Radio telescopes also pick up naturally-occurring radio waves from space and analyze the data to make conclusions about space and the astronomical objects.

2. Radio waves are used in communication by transmitting data over long distances. One example is its use TV transmission. Another is through military defense of airspace. The radio waves are used to detect enemy intrusion into restricted airspaces using radar.

3. It is common that signal from the environment will be in analogue signal format. The conversion to digital signals allows for the digital equipment in the telescope to interpret and analyze the data. Telescopes prefer digital equipment because they consume less power, handle more data, and are less prone to intrusion, and distortion, hence more secure to analogue equipment.

Which statement best describes enzymes?
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

The rate of activity of an enzyme might change as pH changes

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts that controls the rate of a specific chemical reaction.

These materials combines substrates in order to lower the activation energy which might serves as a barrier to chemical action.

  • Enzymes have specific reactions which they control.
  • Temperature and PH conditions control the rate at which enzymes work.
  • They are not all produced from the building block of carbohydrates.

How do I know the phenotype and genotype percentage on a punnet square?
Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Phenotypes are physical attributes. Genotypes are the alleles.

The phenotypes are 75% green peas and 25% yellow peas. This is because the capital G is a dominant allele and green is the dominant attribute and as long as 1 G is present, then the pea will appear green.

The genotypes are 25% GG, 50% Gg, and 25% gg.

Please thank!
