What might happen to the cell if it were suddenly unable to use lipids?
(A) It would not be able to make proteins or transfer substances to other cells
(B) Would not be able to transfer genetic information to other cells
(C) It would not be able to store energy or communicate with other cells
<em>(D)</em> It would not be able to store water or protect itself from viruses
Explanation:
<em>Water moves in and out of a cell in conformity with the concentration gradient formed between the membrane of the cell and the extracellular solution. The process whereby the water moves from a region of low solute concentration to a high solute concentration via a semi-permeable membrane is called OSMOSIS.
</em>
<em>
</em>
<em>In this case, the solute concentration of the blood cannot be regulated, hence, it rises. This causes the solute concentration of the blood to be high or is said to be hypertonic than the cell's. This creates an osmotic gradient causing water to flow out of the hypotonic (low solute concentration) cell into the hypertonic extracellular environment (blood). Once water flows out of the cell as a result of osmosis, the cell shrinks or shrivels i.e. reduce in size.</em>

Answer:
<em>The correct option is C. habitat</em>
Explanation:
In ecology, a habitat can be described as a place where an organism lives. A species habitat can be defined as a place where it can find shelter, where it can find its food, where it can mate etc. Hence, option C is correct.
Other options like option D are false because a population is not a region of land. Population can be described as the number of individuals of a species which live together in an area at the same time period and can interbreed to produce fertile offsprings.
Answer:
Carbohydrates - monosaccharides
Proteins - amino acids
Nucleic acids - nucleotides
Lipids - fatty acids (hydrocarbon chains)
Explanation:
There are four major biological molecules called biomolecules in nature namely; carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. These four molecules form the bedrock upon which life is built. The biomolecules mentioned above are POLYMERS formed as a result of the combination of two or more simpler molecules called MONOMERS in a process called CONDENSATION.
The monomer of each polymeric biomolecule is as follows;
Carbohydrates - monosaccharides
Proteins - amino acids
Nucleic acids - nucleotides
Lipids - fatty acids (hydrocarbon chains)
