Answer: They consist of long chains of C, H, and O.

Explanation:

In terms of chemical composition, lipids differ from nucleic acids and proteins because they mostly just contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (except for phospholipids which of course contain phosphorous). In addition to those elements, proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur, and nucleic acids contain nitrogen and phosphorous.

Carbohydrates share the C, H, and O composition as lipids, but they differ in structure. Lipids are generally exist as triglycerides, which consist of a triple hydroxyl alcohol (glycerol) that has bonded to three long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acids) in a triple condensation reaction. Carbohydrates on the other hand are made of carbon ring structures that either remain alone or polymerize into long polysaccharide chains.

Why is genetic variation important? Select all that apply:
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Genetic variation in a group of organisms enables some organisms to survive better than others in the environment in which they live. Organisms of even a small population can differ strikingly in terms of how well suited they are for life in a certain environment.

Explanation:

Genetic variations are important because a diverse gene pool is good for long-term survival of a species since the environment is always changing, so the diversity of DNA offers the most fit of the species a better chance of surviving because they are most adapted to the constantly changing environment.

tatiyna

Answer:

The answer is A

Explanation:

You can tell that rocks are older or younger depending on if other layers overlap. B is the oldest because all the others cover it, C is the second youngest because D and A overlap it. From what I could tell, when I took the test, it was either A or D, neither overlap each other so I was not sure so I guessed A and got it right. Though it could be looked at that A is smaller than D since its still growing and building.

The percentage of germination of lettuce seeds exposed to far-red light, then blue light, and then red light compared to lettuce
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

<u>50%</u>

Explanation:

<em>Since</em> it was not a case of a Lettuce seed exposed first to <em>red light</em> and then to <em>far-red light</em> which will very likely not germinate because Pr (chromoprotein inactive form) absorbs red light efficiently, the light absorbed will convert a high proportion of the molecules to the Pfr (chromoprotein active form), thereby inducing germination. So there is a 50/50 percentage chance of of germination.
