Answer:

Excess carbohydrates and fats are stored; excess proteins are not

Explanation:

There are many differences between proteins, carbohydrates and fats. They are each made of their own specific monomers. For example, proteins are made up of amino acids, fats are made up of fatty acids, and carbohydrates are made up of monosaccharides.

Carbohydrates can be macromolecules, one example is starch.

Carbohydrates, fats and proteins all contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The only major difference is that proteins also contain nitrogen and can also contain small amounts of sulphur.

Hence, the answer is the last option, because where carbohydrates can be stored as starch or glycogen, and fats can be stored as fat cells, proteins cannot be stored and they are usually excreted as ammonia or urea.

A student builds a model of a DNA strand.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

There is no attachment to this question, however, the base sequence on the model built by the student is: CAGCCATC

The options of the bases on the complementary model are:

A) CTACCGAC

B) GUCGGUAG

C) GTCGGAAG

D) GTCGGTAG

The answer is D

Explanation:

A DNA molecule is a polymer biomolecule made up of nucleotide bases. It is a double stranded molecule, with each strand containing nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds. The pairing of nucleotides in one strand of DNA to another follows the COMPLEMENTARY BASE PAIRING RULE, which states that Adenine binds to Thymine (A-T) while Guanine binds to Cytosine (G-C).

According to this question, a student builds a model containing the base sequence: CAGCCATC, the model that contains bases that are complementary to the ones built by the student is: GTCGGTAG

2) Sometimes insects will instead sit on top of a warm surface in order to increase their body temperature. What is the primary

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

There are three modes of heat conduction, these are conduction, convection and radiation. Heat transfer by conduction usually involves the movement of heat through solid substances. For instance, in the scenario given in this question, the warm surface is the solid substance through which heat is passed to the insects' bodies. Thus, conduction requires direct contact.

Heat transfer by convection method usually involves the movement of heat through liquids or gases while radiation can occur in vacuum.
