Ans. (D). lipids weigh less and store more energy (gram for gram) than carbohydrates.

Lipids represent a class of biomolecules, made up of long hydrocarbon chains. Lipids, such as triglycerides act as major energy storage sources in plants and animals.

Lipids weigh less and contain more carbon atoms per gram as compared to carbohydrates as in carbohydrates, more oxygen is present. Due to this, lipids provide about 9 kcal (kilocalories) per gram, while carbohydrates provide about 4 kcal per gram.

Hence, it is advantageous for migratory animals to store energy in the form of lipids instead of carbohydrates.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

the correct option is E.

Explanation:

in this case the shrew occupies the level of both secondary and tertiary consumers.

as the shrew eats spider( a secondary consumer) so it is a tertiary consumer but it also eats snails( a primary consumer) so it is therefore a secondary consumer also.

so the shrew occupies both secondary and tertiary consumer trophic level.

How is the size of a planet related to the thickness of its atmosphere
Butoxors [25]
<span>Many planets are made of gas, and in different situations, the atmosphere can be destroyed.

The sun which is burnt measures atmosphere and in the same case planets can be in a good situation on galactic map and a great condition in the atmosphere as well as earth.
For example, the mass of an object can attract a smaller object causing gravity. The bigger the masses of a planet when it is in the right condition the more atmosphere it can attract if there is any floating on the planet. If it is big it will make a gravitational influence and gather more gases.</span>

arlik [135]

Answer:

B) nuclei of gland cells.

Explanation:

DNA carries the blueprint for the production of all the proteins including enzymes in human beings. Humans are eukaryotes and their DNA is present in the nucleus of their cells. All the cells that make the complex human body are derived from division in the zygote and therefore, are genetically identical and have the same DNA.

However, gene expression is regulated by the expression of specific genes in specific cells and at a different time of developmental stages. Amylase is the enzyme that digests starch in humans. Amylase is secreted by salivary glands. So, the nuclei of these glands would have genetic information for the synthesis of amylase.
