Answer:

Simple fats, also known as Acylglycerides or neutral fats, are those that are composed of esterified Glycerol (ester formation) by one, two or three fatty acids, in which case we talk about: monoacylglyceride, diacylglyceride or triacylglyceride respectively. Example types of them are oils, lard and tallow.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Chick with in the egg depend for all its energy and food requirement on the egg yolk , therefore egg yolk is rich in fat, protein, and cholesterol.

Explanation:

Before the egg breaks and the chick comes out, few days nourishment for chicks is required. Hence, the egg yolk needs to be nutritious as new developing chick (with in the egg) rely for essential nutrients (required for growth) on the egg yolk. Chick require energy  from yolk, hence it is rich in fat (energy). It also needs to grow and develop, therefore egg yolk has lot of protein (building blocks). Lipid and cell with in the yolk help in formation of cell and strengthening of bones and feathers

Describe maximum parsimony.
Burka [1]

Maximum Thrift is a method / philosophy that considers the shortest tree (in number of transformation steps) the best hypothesis about the phylogenetic relationship of a given set of terminals. Transformation step is the cost attributed to the change of character state in a given branch of the tree, be it the change from one nucleotide base to another, amino acids, or the color of an animal's iris. The fewer transformations, the shorter the tree, and therefore the more parsimonious.  In this method, what programs do is to investigate as many alternative topologies as possible (or all if their array has less than 25 terminals; see more details below) given their character array. Each will be measured, and the shorter (optimal) trees will be retained as the most parsimonious result.

What are the role of all four types of lipids: fats, phospholipids, waxes, and steroids.
ycow [4]
Steroids
are complex structure four connected rings of carbon atoms. They are cholesterol which is in all body cells and used to synthesize other steroids:sex hormones, such as estrogen, and testosterone and several hormones from the adrenal glands.

Waxes
are comprised of an ester of a long-chain alcohol and a fatty acid. Many plants have leaves and fruits with wax coatings to help prevent water loss.

Phospholipids
consist of Glycerol portion and fatty acid chains. Only two fatty acids chains; in place of the third is portion that include a phosphate group. THe phosphate portion is soluble in water [hydrophobic] forms the ''head'' of the molecule, while the fatty acids portion is insoluble in water [hydrophobic] and forms a ''tail''.

Fats
to store energy for cellular activities. Carbohydrates fat molecules are composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
