How does the nonpolar nature of lipids contribute to their insulating quality

Biology
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
5 0
Lipids include a diverse group of compounds that are largely nonpolar in nature. This is because they are hydrocarbons that include mostly nonpolar carbon–carbon or carbon–hydrogen bonds. ... Lipids also provide insulation from the environment for plants and animals hope this helps

rusak2 [61]

Answer: The correct option is A (uses metabolic energy to regulate its body temperature and maintains a relatively constant body temperature).

Explanation:

HOMOEOTHERMIC animals are also called endothermic animals. They are the warm blooded animals which uses heat energy generated metabolically to regulate and maintain a relatively constant body temperature. Examples of animals that are endothermic include the birds and mammals.

The temperature which they maintain is deep inside the body and not the skin temperature.

Also the temperature of a body is affected by the heat it gains and losses. The body gains heat mainly:

--> by absorbing it from its surroundings

--> from the heat released during the catabolic reaction that occur all the time in the body cells.

--> by conduction, convection and radiation from the surface of the body

--> through evaporation, especially of sweat and

--> in the air that is exhaled and urine that leaves the body.

Under normal circumstances, the heat the body gains is balanced by the heat it loses. A RISE in body temperature stimulates the following processes to get rid of excess body heat:

--> A decrease in metabolic rate: the body slows down its activities to decrease the metabolic rate. This reduces the heat released by metabolic reactions, hence minimizing heat production within the body.

A FALL in body temperature stimulates the following processes to produce and conserve heat:

--> increasing metabolic rate: The body increases its metabolic rate, especially that of the liver, to produce more heat

Classify each description as true of introns only, exons only, or both.A-present in eukaryotic genomesB-generally absent from ba
maxonik [38]

The right answers are:

A-present in eukaryotic genomes ==> Both exons and introns

B-generally absent from bacterial genomes ==> Introns

C-part of the final mRNA strand ==> Exons

D-code for an amino acid sequence ==> Exons

E-removed from initial mRNA strand prior to translation ==> Introns

F-present in the DNA used as the template for transcription ==> Both exons and introns

In the genes of eukaryotic organisms, the exons are the segments of an RNA precursor that are conserved in the RNA after splicing and that are found in mature RNA in the cytoplasm. The segments of the RNA precursor that are removed during splicing are called in opposition to introns. Exons are mainly found in messenger RNAs (mRNAs) encoding proteins. Some mRNAs may sometimes undergo an alternative splicing process in which one or more exons may be excised or some introns preserved in rare cases.
