Biology

vladimir1956 [14]3 years ago
4 0
<span>An example of homeostasis is blood sugar level. When the blood sugar level is very high, the pancreas produces insulin, and insulin tells the cells to take the glucose and use it. If cells need energy, they make the cell respiration and produce energy. If they don't need it, they convert it into glucogene or fat and store it. On the contrary, when the blood sugar level is very low, pancreas produce glucagon, which tells cells the opposite: make glucose appear! So if they don't have glucose, they convert glucagon or fat into glucose and release it into the blood.</span><span />

Sindrei [870]


The correct answer is a - Lipid

Lipids are not considered as macromolecules because unlike proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids which polymers, lipids are composed of a single unit made up a glycerol backbone to which two or three fatty acids are linked.

Lipids are not polymers made up of individual subunits called monomers. They contain only  one molecule and are not macromolecuels.

Examples of lipids include waxes, steroids, phospholipids and detergents. Lipids are generally hydrophobic and insoluble in water.

Without a cuticle, a plant _____.
kolbaska11 [484]
The answer is A. The cuticle is a protective film that is non cellular covering the outer cell layer (epidermis) of green, aerial parts of plants. Cuticles protect plants against drying (desiccation), UV radiation, and various kinds of physical, chemical and (micro)biological agents. The cuticle also provides some support. Actually the cuticle which protects the underlying tissues has basically the same function as our own skin. In several groups of plants, cuticles are very resistant. Only few groups do not generally have highly resistant cuticles e.g. ferns and lycopods.
