Answer:

D.all lipids contain fatty acids.

Explanation:

A.Lipids are fats, like oil, that are insoluble in water. ... The most abundant class of lipid molecule found in cell membranes is the phospholipid. The phospholipid molecule's polar head group contains a phosphate group. It also sports two nonpolar fatty acid chain groups as its tail.

B.The simplest definition is a lipid as any molecule that is insoluble in water and soluble in organic solvents. Most lipids are soluble to some extent in organic solvents such as hexane, ether, chloroform or benzene. They constitute a complex collection organic compounds that include fatty acids, (A,D, E and K).

C.There are two major types of lipids- simple lipids and complex lipids. Simple lipids are esters of fatty acids with various alcohols. For eg., fats and waxes.

D.Not all lipids have fatty acids. The operational definition of a lipid is a biomolecule is that is sufficiently hydrophobic to be more soluble in an organic solvent than in water. The common theme to their structures is a high percentage of hydrocarbon character.

E.Most lipid hormones are steroid hormones, which are usually ketones or alcohols and are insoluble in water. Steroid hormones (ending in '-ol' or '-one') include estradiol, testosterone, aldosterone, and cortisol. ... Amino acid-derived hormones and protein hormones are water-soluble and insoluble in lipids.

I believe the correct answer is the fourth option. Plant cell walls consist mainly of cellulose. The cell wall of the plants provides support and other important functions. It is composed of cellulose which is classified as a carbohydrate. The plant cell wall has three layers and each layer has its own unique function.

Brown-eyed alma has a blue-eyed mother and a brown-eyed father. in this case, her brown eyes were determined by a _____ allele.
docker41 [41]
The allele is dominant. What this means simply put is that there is a much higher chance of it occurring than of blue eyes being on the kid. If one parent has brown eyes and the other has any other, there is a higher chance that a brown eyes allele will be used.

1. The cells in our bodies are surrounded by these types of solutions.
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1. The cells in our bodies are surrounded by these types of solutions. → Isotonic solution.

3. When an animal cell is places in this solution, it will burst (get layer)  → Hypotonic solution.

4. When an animal cell is placed in this solution, it will shrivel or shrink (get smaller) → Hypertonic solution.

5. This is a solution with more solute than the cell. Hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The cells in the body are in a balance of substances —concentration of solutes— between their cytoplasm and the extracellular space. This balance is dynamic in living beings, due to the constant exchange of ions and substances between the intracellular and extracellular space.  For this reason, the extracellular medium is isotonic with the cytoplasm.

<u>A cell can lose or gain water depending on the amount of solutes that a medium has in which it is found</u>, with respect to the cytoplasm. This difference in solutes concentrations produces an osmotic gradient that drags water from the least concentrated solution to the most concentrated, through the process of osmosis, which seeks to achieve an equilibrium of concentrations.

  • <em>When a animal cell is exposed to a </em><em>hypertonic solution</em><em> </em>—<em>with a higher concentration of solutes</em>— <em>it loses water and tends to </em><em>dehydrate and become smaller</em><em>.</em>
  • <em>An animal cell in a </em><em>hypotonic solution</em><em> receives water, so it can </em><em>expand and even burst</em><em>.</em>

In practice, the concentrations of intracellular and extracellular solutes depend not only on the osmotic gradient, but also on the concentration gradient of substances.
