Answer: 1. Lipophobic

              2.Thyroid

              3.lipophilic

Explanation:

 Chemical messengers can be classified by their chemical characteristics including their solubility in water and their chemical structure.  

Depending on their solubility in water they can be classified in two groups:

  • Hydrophobic (lipophilic) - Molecules are lipid soluble and can easily cross the plasma membrane.

  • Hydrophilic (lipophobic) - Molecules that are water soluble and do not readily cross the plasma membrane.

Depending on the chemical structure  

Amino Acids are lipophobic.

Amines are derived from amino acids and contain an amine group (-NH2, known as the amino group). An important group of these are the catecholamines which contain a 6 carbon ring (catechol) and are derived from tyrosine. These include dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. The thyroid hormone is derived from tyrosine.  All except thyroid hormones are hydrophilic. The thyroid hormone is lipophilic (hidrophobic)

What does it mean if there are two different alleles for a trait ?
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

The trait is heterozygous.

Explanation:

Heterozygous: "Having two different alleles of a particular gene or genes."

A heterozygous genotype looks like: Rr. The capital R is a dominant allele, and the lowercase r is a recessive allele. These two alleles are not the same (not two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles) meaning that the trait is a heterozygous trait.

The opposite of a heterozygous trait is a homozygous trait, in which both alleles are the same (both dominant or both recessive) and can look like RR or rr (genotype-wise).

When water used to cool machinery is returned to a river, it raises the river water temperature. this causes a sharp decline in
baherus [9]

Out of the following given choices;

(1) an increase in the number of clams                    

(2) a decrease in the number of water plants               

(3) an increase in the number of crabs

(4) a decrease in the number of crayfish

The answer is D. Crayfish are are freshwater crustaceans resembling small lobsters. Clams and crabs are found in marine waters. Most crayfish cannot tolerate polluted water. Crayfish feed on animals and plants, either living or decomposing, and detritus, therefore a decrease in small invertebrates in the river would decrease their food source thence consequently affect their numbers.
