Many invertebrates die during the earlier stages of their life cycle because they are a major part of the food chain.

3 0

True. This is because they form the lowest parts of the food chain. These invertebrates at young stages are generally exposed to the harsh environments around them. Being organisms that have not developed their mechanisms for protection these invertebrates will be subject to bigger animals and will serve as an easy prey. These invertebrates can be easy prey to larger organisms like birds and frogs, that mostly feed on insects and soft organisms. The saying, "survival of the fittest," is always true when it comes to the ecosystem.

What is the function of glucose in the human body

NemiM [27]

The liver is an important storage site for glycogen.

How would you describe a phospholipid?

notsponge [240]

Answer:

The answer would be Hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head. Just some background info, this is located in the cell membrane and the cell membrane is made of up something called the Lipid Bilayer. The word "bi" means 2, so it comprise of 2 layers of phospholipids. These 2 layers of phospholipids are called hyrodrohpbic and hydrophilic. The word "phobic" means fear, so they hydrophobic molecules are NOT attracted to water. Hydrophilic molecules, however, ARE attracted to the molecules.

Hope this helps!
