Biology
1 answer:
Archy [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

A) Fatty acids

Explanation:

Sterols are the organic compounds composed of the four rings fused together, an attached hydrocarbon chain and the characteristic functional group called -OH group attached to the ring.

The steroids are the compounds which contain the fused rings (a feature of sterol) and the attached -OH group. The presence of the hydrophobic chain provide makes them insoluble in water which is considered a characteristic feature of the lipids. Therefore the steroids are considered the lipid molecule or fatty acid-containing molecules.

The cholesterol is the most common type of sterol present in the organism, especially in the animal and plants.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Explain why cell contents and their environment are likely to freeze under extremely cold temperatures
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

A fall in temperature can also adversely affect cell and cell membranes. At low temperatures, the phospholipids' fatty acid tails are moving less and stiffer. This reduces the membrane's overall fluidity as well as reduces its permeability and perhaps limits the entry into the cells of vital chemicals like oxygen and glucose. Also, low temperatures can impede cell development by preventing cell size expansion.

In severe cases, such long term exposure to sub-freezing temperatures, fluid in the cell can start solidifying and can form crystals that breach the membrane and destroy the cell.

Identify each items as either an element or a compound
ruslelena [56]
Carbon (C) is an element
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a compound
Hydrogen (H) is an element
Sodium Chloride (NaCl) is a compound
A good way to tell whether something is a compound or an element, is that in a compound there is a mixture of different elements. Like in Carbon Dioxide, the symbol is CO2. This shows the carbon (C) and oxygen (O) together. I hope i worded that well enough and this helps :)

- Higher Order Thinking Nicole, Tasha,
musickatia [10]

Answer:

Joan Walks \frac{7}{12}miles farther than maria

Explanation:

Given:

Distance walked by Nicole = 1. 11/12 miles

Distance walked by Tasha= 2. 1/12 miles

Distance walked by Maria = 1. 7 /12 miles

Distance walked by Joan = 2. 2/12 miles

To find:

How much farther Joan walks to school  than Maria = ?​

Solution:

We can find the distance that Joan walk more than maria by subtraction

Joan distance -  maria distance

here the distance are given in mixed fraction , so lets covert them into fraction and perform subtraction

=> 2\frac{2}{12} - 1 \frac{7}{12}

=>\frac{24+ 2}{12} -  \frac{12 +7}{12}

=>\frac{26}{12} -  \frac{19}{12}

=>\frac{26 - 19}{12}

=>\frac{7}{12}
