Steroids
are complex structure four connected rings of carbon atoms. They are cholesterol which is in all body cells and used to synthesize other steroids:sex hormones, such as estrogen, and testosterone and several hormones from the adrenal glands.

Waxes
are comprised of an ester of a long-chain alcohol and a fatty acid. Many plants have leaves and fruits with wax coatings to help prevent water loss.

Phospholipids
consist of Glycerol portion and fatty acid chains. Only two fatty acids chains; in place of the third is portion that include a phosphate group. THe phosphate portion is soluble in water [hydrophobic] forms the ''head'' of the molecule, while the fatty acids portion is insoluble in water [hydrophobic] and forms a ''tail''.

Fats
to store energy for cellular activities. Carbohydrates fat molecules are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.

Answer:

An antisense sequence with complementary to the target mRNA encoded by the gene of interest

Explanation:

An antisense sequence is usually a short RNA sequence specifically designed in the laboratory to bind by complementary to the DNA/RNA sequence of interest (usually a target mRNA) whose expression is desired to be inhibited. When an antisense bind to its target mRNA, the antisense sequence acts to block translation, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. Moreover, it has been shown that the double-stranded antisense-RNA complexes may also increase the susceptibility of the target sequence to RNase H digestion.

What are specialized plant cell in the epidermis of leaves produced in pairs with a gap between them that forms a stomach fore--
valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

Guard cells

Explanation:

Guard cells are can be described as a special group of plant cells that are located or can be found in the epidermis of plants. They come in the shape of a kidney.

They help to control the rate at which air moves in and out of the plant, the is achieved by periodically opening the stoma and blocking it back. They are also responsible for the regulation of water movement in and out of the plant.

This essential material in which the guard cell regulates/ control is an important part of plant photosynthesis, therefore they play an important role in the process through which plants manufacture their food.
