4 main organic compounds are:

  • Carbohydrates,
  • Lipids,
  • Nucleic acids,
  • Proteins.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

Chemical compounds that are found in living things are known as organic compounds. These compounds are involved  in the  life processes.

  • Carbohydrates comprises of three atoms of  oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen.
  • The lipids are compounds that consist of fats, waxes, and oils.
  • The nucleic acid is considered as a blueprint of our life because they define the genetic code of organisms.
  • Lastly, proteins are the most versatile form of organic compounds that contribute to the major  functions within the body.

Anastasy [175]
The mainstay of treatment for testicular cancer is chemotherapy. This is to eradicate malignant cells in the testicle. As a consequence, the patient can be sterile as the chemotherapy also attacks healthy living sperm. Since the patient wants to build a family, he should store his sperm and get it preserved by cryopreservation before the treatment is started.

During an El Nino, warm water piles off of South America and cold water can't upwell. As a result, the _____________ can't rise
sergij07 [2.7K]

The correct answer is - nutrients.

The cold water is very rich in nutrients, and those nutrients are crucial for the survival of the small organisms as they are their primary food source. When El Nino occurs though, the water is becoming warmer and stops the up-welling of  the cold water, which also means that the nutrients remain deep with it. As a result, the small organisms are left without their primary food sources, thus they struggle to survive, and even die out in the region on a large scale.

3 Using the diagram and what you have read, describe the path of a water molecule in a convection current in the ocean. Include
diamong [38]

<em>Convection currents form because a heated fluid expands, becoming less dense. The less-dense heated fluid rises away from the heat source. As it rises, it pulls cooler fluid down to replace it. This fluid in turn is heated, rises and pulls down more cool fluid. This cycle establishes a circular current that stops only when heat is evenly distributed throughout the fluid. For instance, a hot radiator heats the air immediately around it. The air rises toward the ceiling, pulling cooler air down from the ceiling into the radiator to be heated. This process repeats until the air in the room is evenly heated. Convection drives the Gulf Stream and other currents that turn over and mix up the waters in the world’s oceans. Cold polar water is drawn down from higher latitudes and sinks to the ocean bottom, pulled down toward the equator as lighter, warmer water rises to the ocean’s surface. The warmer water is pulled northward to replace the cold water that’s been pulled southward. This process distributes heat and soluble nutrients around the world. Thermal energy also moves within the ocean and within the atmosphere through the process of convection. During convection, cooler water or air sinks, and warmer water or air rises. This movement causes currents. Ocean currents are like rivers of water moving through the sea. The convection happens because hot water has a lower density and thus rises up to the surface where it cools and sinks down to the bottom again. When water starts boiling there is the additional effect of the formation of water vapor bubbles that have a much stronger buoyancy than hot water.</em>
