Answer:

Both (b) and (c)

Explanation:

Fats, steroids and waxes are some of the most common types of lipids. Lipids are non-polar hydrocarbons because of the presence of non-polar carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds in there structure.

Generally, polar molecules are soluble in water while non-polar molecules are insoluble in water, hence, lipids do not dissolve in water. There non-polarity also makes them a suitable component in the selectively permeable biological cell membrane.

Are cockroaches refusing poison baits because of one particular ingredient?
Ainat [17]

it’s somehow re-jiggered its taste system so that the attractant that humans used to draw the insect to poison bait—the sugar glucose—now tastes bitter to the roach, and they avoid it. cockroaches began appearing that avoided the baits, and did so not because they were averse to the poison, but because they were averse to the attractant, glucose. This new trait turned out to be heritable, that is, it had a genetic basis.
