The appropriate response is water. An assortment of substances that are not dissolvable in polar solvents, for example, water, but rather will break up in nonpolar solvents, for example, benzene and chloroform. Lipids incorporate triglycerides, phospholipids, steroids, and waxes. 
Fats and lipids are extensive natural atoms which are utilized for vitality stockpiling and which make up the which make up the lipid bilayer of the plasma film of cells. Lipids have hydrophobic tails which are made out of chains of hydrocarbons and hydrophilic heads which are made out of a carboxyl gathering.

Lipids are not soluble in polar solvents and include a variety of substances such as waxes, fats, oils, hormones etc.

<h2>Further Explanation:</h2><h3>Lipids </h3>
  • Lipids are among the four major bio-molecules, others being nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates.
  • They are composed of hydrocarbons and are important building blocks of structure of living organisms.
  • Examples of lipids include; oils, fats, some vitamins(A,D,E,K), waxes, hormones, etc.
<h3>Properties of lipids </h3>
  • They are insoluble in polar solvents such as water. This is because being non-polar molecules then they can not dissolve in polar solvents due to the presence of non-polar region which brings about hydrophobic effect.
  • They are highly soluble in non-polar solvents such as chloroform, benzene and acetone.  This is because of large non-polar regions or hydrophobic regions  in lipid molecules.
<h3>Functions of Lipids. </h3>
  1. Production of energy and storage
  2. Insulation and protection; through the layer of fat known as adipose tissue below the skin.
  3. Structural components, such as cell wall structure
  4. Production of hormones such as estrogen, testosterone and progesterone. etc.

Keywords: Bio-molecules, lipids, properties of lipids, function of lipids.

Where does most of the metabolic activity in a cell occur?
romanna [79]

Most of the metabolic activity of the cells occur in cytoplasm.

The cytoplasm is the fluid present in the empty spaces of the cell. All the organelle are found floating in the cytoplasm. Most of the cellular activity and formation takes place here. The nucleus is mainly responsible for the storage of genetic material and synthesis of mRNA. The cell wall is responsible for transportation. In nucleus as well as cell wall do not have space, where the metabolic reactions takes place. Hence, most of the reaction takes place in cytoplasm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the multicellular organism organ system is the most complex level of organisation.

Organ system sometimes referred to as system only is a group of organs, which perform different processes. The organs are made up of tissues. The tissues are a group of cells, which perform a specific function.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hence, the correct answer is cytoplasm and systems.

Explain how xylem cells are adapted for their function.<br>​
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Xylem cells have no cytoplasm or end walls, meaning they form a tube through which water can pass freely to allow water transport. Lignin strengthens the cell walls, helping to support the plant.
