Explain how carbohydrates and lipids are similar/different.

Biology
1 answer:
e-lub [12.9K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Carbohydrates and lipids are similar in that they are both sources of energy but they are different in the amount of energy they produce.

Explanation:

Carbohydrate and lipids are similar in the sense that both of them are  parts of foods consumed by humans and the two marcro molecules are good sources of energy for the body cells. The carbohydrate has to be broken down to glucose before it can be absorbed by the body cells. This is because glucose is the only energy source that the body cells can use. The lipid has to be converted to glucose through biochemical reactions such as gluconeogenesis before the cells can use it.

The basic difference between the two energy sources is that the amount of energy that they supply is quite different. Lipid contains more energy than carbohydrate; carbohydrate can only supply about one-quarter of the energy that lipid can supply.

5. Peppered moths vary in darkness. Some have a lighter
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

  • The evolution of the peppered moth is an evolutionary instance of directional colour change in the moth population as a consequence of air pollution during the Industrial Revolution. ... Later, when pollution was reduced, the light-coloured form again predominated.

  • As the trees darkened with soot, the light-colored moths were easier to see. They were eaten by birds more and more, while the rare dark colored moths blended in better on the darker trees. This made the dark colored moths have a higher survival rate.

Why would the extinction of other species negatively affect human society?
MrRissso [65]
 Extinction of other species will negatively affect human society by  affecting multiple things. One thing that may happen is that the ecosystem will fail, and it will eventually become a bare wasteland,n destroying possible recources for humans. As well, if humans have a direct use for them, such as cows for milk, or pics for bacon and ham, those direct recourses will deplete humans recourses, and there may be riots, or the population dwindling because of a lack of recourses. as well, some helpful animals such as plants go extinct, then no oxygen will be exchanged through photosynthesis, and it would cause a lot of pollution,
