Answer:

1. Lipids

2. Carbohydrate

3. Lipids

4. Carbohydrate

5. Lipids

6. Lipids

7. Carbohydrate

Explanation:

Lipids and carbohydrates are two of the four major biological molecules (the other two being proteins and nucleic acids). They (lipids and carbohydrates) are both long chains composed of elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).

Lipids called triglycerides are majorly made up of building block fatty acids (long hydrocarbon chains with carboxylic acid) and glycerol ( an hydrocarbon made up of three hydroxyll groups).

Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are made up of long chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with aldehyde or ketone functional group. They are composed of monosaccharide building blocks (also called simple sugars) with general formula CH20(n).

Based on the structural composition of lipids and carbohydrates, structures 1,3,5 and 6 are lipids while 2, 4 and 7 are carbohydrates.

The orange color of carrot roots and marigold flowers comes from cell bodies known as chromoplasts. True False

aliina [53]

<span>The question says,'the orange colour of carrot roots and marigold flowers comes from cell bodies known as chromoplasts. The statement is true. Chromoplasts are coloured plastids, they usually contain a yellow or orange pigment. They can be found in roots, leaves, fruits and ageing leaves and are responsible for the distinctive colours of these plant parts.</span>

Define autotrophs, heterotrophs, producers, and photoautotrophs.

sergey [27]

Producers: living things that make their own food through a process called photosynthesis

Autotrophs: an organism that is able to form nutritional organic substances from simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide.

Heterotrophs: an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances.

Photo autotrophs: organisms that carry out photosynthesis. Using energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are converted into organic materials to be used in cellular functions such as biosynthesis and respiration.

A wild-type tomato plant (Plant 1) is homozygous dominant for three traits: solid leaves (MM), normal height (DD), and smooth sk

Brut [27]

Answer: In this type of cross between MmDdPp and mmddpp, the phenotypic ratios in the eight possible phenotypes are as follow; a. solid, normal, smooth = 1:8

b. solid, normal, peach = 1:8

c. solid, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

d. solid, dwarf, peach = 1:8

e. mottled, normal, smooth = 1:8

f. mottled, normal, peach = 1:8

g. mottled, dwarf, smooth = 1:8

h. mottled, dwarf, peach = 1:8

Explanation: The number of gametes that can be formed from a particular genotype is given as 2^n where n is the number of heterozygous loci. In the genotype MmDdPp, n = 3. Therefore, 8 gametes can be formed.

In genotype mmddpp, n = 0. Therefore, only one type of gamete can be formed.

Crossing the two genotype (MmDdPp and mmddpp) as shown in the attached image, 8 possible offsprings can be achieved. Phenotypes of these offspring had been stated earlier. The phenotypic frequency of each of these offspring is one out of eight (⅛).
