A teacher assigns the following experiment to a class. Draw an outline of a bird's feather, and color one half of the outline wi

th a thick coat from a wax crayon. Leave the other half uncolored. Next, sprinkle a few drops of water on both halves of the feather. You will observe that the water soaks into the plain paper. The waxy coat, however, allows the paper to remain dry. Water forms tiny beads on top of the wax instead of soaking through it.
The results of the experiment MOST STRONGLY support which conclusion about the polarity of lipid molecules?

A. Lipid molecules are polar because they mix poorly with liquids, such as water.
B. Lipid molecules are polar because they adhere tightly to smooth surfaces, such as paper.
C. Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which also are nonpolar.
D. Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.

The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.

Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.

Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.

Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.

1 . What happens in the population if the mutation phenotype is helpful
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

1. The population will increase as they're better adapted to their environment and have a higher survival rate due to this helpful phenotype.

2. This happens to the population because this helpful phenotype might lead to less exposure to predation in which leads to a better survival fitness for the organism.

3. This mutation continues to exist as the organisms continue to successfully reproduce into the population due to being able to survive for longer.

what would be the most likely effect on cellular respiration if a plant were to lose much of its cjhlorophylkl
goldenfox [79]

Cellular respiration would produce less energy when plant were to lose much of its chlorophyll.

Plants can actually live longer without photosynthesis than they can without respiration. Some plants survive half the year without performing photosynthesis, but if they stop performing cellular respiration, even for a minute, they would be dead where they stand.

During photosynthesis, plants absorb sunlight and carbon dioxide from the air. Through a series of steps, much like cellular respiration, they convert these reactants into the products oxygen and glucose. The plants then can use the oxygen and glucose to make ATP in cellular respiration. The rate of respiration is greater than the rate of photosynthesis. So this means there is an overall excess of carbon dioxide is produced during respiration.

By looking on the nutrition label for the amounts per serving (in grams) of fiber and total carbohydrates, if there is no or less percentage of carbohydrates so by see the label we can say that whether the food has low or high amount of carbohydrates.
