Answer:

The five main types of climates are dry, tropical, temperate or moderate, polar, and continental climate. Climate is basically categorized on the basis of the Koppen Classification Scheme. This system categorizes different types of climates and subtypes.  

Tropical climates are featured by high temperatures during all the twelve months of the year, with an average temperature of more than 64 degrees F or 18 degrees C. Dry climates are featured by a diminished amount of precipitation all through the year, like in Sahara.

The temperate or moderate climates exhibit temperatures of more than 50 degrees F or 10 degrees C at the time of warm months, and 27 degrees F or 3 degrees C at the time of cold months. Temperate climates possess warm summers and mild winters.  

Continental is identical to temperate climates, however, the summers are cooler and the winters are colder. The polar climates exhibit extremely cold summers and extremely cold winters like in the North Pole and in Antarctica.

Which of the following best explains a characteristic that differentiates Fungi from Plants?
NikAS [45]
<span>The answer is C because fungi use decomposition to get nutrition, while plants produce their own nutrients, making them autotrophs. Answer choice A is incorrect because fungi cells do have cell walls, even though they contain chitin, which isn't present in the cell walls of plants. Answer choice B is incorrect because while they do form colonies, most fungi are multicellular. Answer choice D is incorrect because plants are also able to reproduce both sexually and asexually.</span>

In order for a fat molecule to be saturated, it must have what characteristic?
marin [14]
Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them. 
Schematically, they look like  -C-C-C-C-  ...

If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as  -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.

If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated.  It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.

Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures.  Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources.  However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.
