Lipids are generally defined as nonpolar compounds in the body that are possessing properties of being hydrophobic and amphiphilic. Lipids play an essential role in living organisms because they comprise the formation of cellular membranes, hormones, vitamins, and most especially energy storage.

There are a wide classification of lipids. Examples are fatty acids in monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides. Other examples are cholesterol, vitamins, waxes, and other phospholipids. The general structure of common lipids in the body like triglycerides and phospholipids are shown in the pictures attached.

.Which of the following lists contains only arthropods?

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

Arachnids, crustaceans, myriapods.

Explanation:

Arthropods are animals that form the phylum Euarthropoda. This phylum includes the arachnids, crustaceans, myriapods, and insects. The defining characteristic for an animal to be considered an arthropod is that it has to have an exoskeleton, meaning that the skeleton of the animal is acting as a shell to the body, covering it from the outside.

At present, all of the species of arthropods are small in size, though in the distant past there were speciemens that can be considered as medium-sized or even large. The exoskeleton has its advantages and disadvantages. An advantage is that it is very hard and it covers fully the internal organs, thus protecting them. A disadvantage is that it limits the size to which these animals can grow as the exoskeleton cannot support the weight of the body after certain point.
