Answer;

-The most appropriate answer is Lipids

Explanation;

-Lipids is among the four biological biomolecules, the others being proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids.

-Lipids are made up of fatty acids and glycerol and are composed of elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and they may also contain phosphorus, like in the case of phospholipids which are mainly components of the cell membranes.

-They take two forms, namely; fats and oils. Therefore, the oil form of lipid may be used as lamp oil.

Answer: lipids  

Explanation:

Lipids are the biomolecules that are made up of fatty acids and glycerol. These are primarily composed of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and phosphorus. The lipids are the basic components of the cell membranes. Lipids are the biomolecules produce in the body of both plants and animals. The lipids are of two major types:

1. Fats: These are the lipids which remain solid at room temperature.

2.Oils: These are the lipids which remain liquid at room temperature. For example the oil obtain from the fish, nuts and seeds of the plants.

On the basis of the above description, lipid is the correct option.

Why do you think root hairs are produced only on the part of the root system that has stop?​
mixer [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

They are found only in the zone of maturation, and not the zone of elongation, possibly because any root hairs that arise are sheared off as the root elongates and moves through the soil. Root hairs grow quickly, at least 1μm/min, making them particularly useful for research on cell expansion.

There have been many reports of environmental improvements being seen around the world due to self isolation orders. What do you
kaheart [24]
Though the lockdown has undoubtedly had somewhat of a negative impact on certain acpects of our society, there’s no denying that our environment has seen certain benefits since we’ve tucked ourselves away in our homes. According to the Earth Observatory at NASA, satellites have detected decreased levels of air pollution as well as carbon monoxide emission. This is attributed to the closure of most industries as well as the lack of cars and other transportation on the road. Though it isn’t just the air we’re beginning to notice changes in- for the first time in a very long time, the canals in Venice are crystal clear. With fewer boats and tourists about, the water is free of pollution for the first time in centuries. With these facts in mind, I can safely say that I believe the lockdown has definitely positively benefited the environment, but it’s up to us to keep it that way once it ends.

What are four characteristics of a good extraction solvent?
ella [17]

A good extraction solvent should have a strong solubilizing capability for the compound of interest, it should be immiscible or only weakly misciblewith the matrix solvent ( the first solution or mixture containing the compound from its natural source, e.g., water/ether. water/ chloroform, etc. If possible the extraction solvent should be non-flammable, non-toxic or of low toxicity, reasonably volatile, and of low eco-impact. Inexpensive and available, of high purity , and shelf stable. If one is determining the compound of interest by UV/Vis spectrophotometry or fluorescence, the solvent should have extremely low absobance or emission at the wavelength of analysis

• high solubility for the solute and low solubility for the carrier liquid.

• density difference vs. the carrier liquid greater than 150 kg/m. ...

• mid-level interfacial tension (5–30 dyne/cm)

• high resistance to thermal degradation.

How does life on earth change over time
Troyanec [42]

DNA replication is an important part of cellular division because correct replication-
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Replicating DNA is fragile, and can break during the duplication process. In fact, broken chromosomes are often the source of DNA rearrangements and can change the genetic program of a cell. These changes can trigger a growth advantage in a single cell in your body, and when that cell continues to divide, tumors arise. Fortunately, our cells have defense mechanisms to shield us from these damaging events.
