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.

The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that traps insects in a plant structure. The plant structure closes when the small hair
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Venus flytrap communicate with other organisms by secreting a sugary substance (nectar) in its leaf glands.

Explanation:

The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that traps insects in a plant structure that closes when the small hairs on the inside of the structure are touched.

The leaf of this plant contains a watery fluid secreted by glands on its open traps. Organisms like flies are attracted to the secreted nectar and perches on it; only for the hairs of the flytrap to get shut due to that touch and cell expansion triggered.

What do you think of when you hear the word science? How would you define it?
Scorpion4ik [409]
<span>I usually think of biology first, and then physics. I trust those types of science a whole lot more than social sciences. I don't think of it like most non-sciency people do (like with diet pills and perfume). I think of it like using the actual scientific method, doing the same thing over and again expecting different results, taking the objective (or subjective, when that applies) results and forming a logical conclusion and not one that fits your hypothesis/agenda. Kind of like those kids that every high school has (on TV shows, they're the ones that are doing something with robotics all the time) that are nerdy, science geeks always running experiments and seeing what happens. </span>

I need to know the hypothesized enzyme
worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Hypotheis:

<em>If high amounts of product in the samples, '+++' , correlates with optimal temperatures and pH for enzyme activity, then...</em>

  • <u>A- Pepsin</u>
  • <u>B- Amylase </u>
  • <u> C- thermophilic enzyme</u>

Explanation:

Enzymes are specialized proteins that function as biological catalysts- <u>they speed up chemical reactions.</u> As proteins, these are susceptible to changes in temperature and pH- they function best at optimal values for both conditions, but can be denatured, rendering them inactive at relative extremes.

Each enzyme provided has its own optimal temperature and pH values.

  • Thermophilic enzymes are usually found in regions characterized by high temperatures. They show high thermostability, and do not become denatured at high temperatures- they thrive, and do not function well at lower temperatures.
  • Amylase is a hydrolase digestive enzyme found in the mouth, that acts on polysaccharides like starch to break 1,4  glycosidic bonds between glucose molecules. It works best at a physiological (neutral) pH and temperatures (around 37°)
  • Pepsin, another digestive enzyme, is a peptidase that breaks down proteins into peptide molecules. It is found in the stomach lining, where the pH  is typically low i.e. acidic due to the hydrochloric acid in digestive juices.

Thus from the table A- pepsin, B- Amylase and C- thermophilic enzyme can be hypothesized.
