Answer:

Lipids are hydrocarbon molecules that make up the structure of living beings. Few examples are <u>fats, oils and waxes</u>. Steroids are also a class of lipids but they are not structurally related to other lipids but do share some common properties with them. They are <em>insoluble in water and are hydrophobic</em>( water-repelling).

Explanation:

Lipids are insoluble in water as they are <em>non-polar</em> but soluble in non polar solvents (<em>chloroform</em>). Fat soluble vitamins like <u>A,D,E,K and steroids</u> have a different structure composed of fused four rings.

The most common example of steroid is cholesterol. Cholesterol acts as a precursor for many hormones and other signalling molecules.

Answer:

I. hydrophobic

II. hydrocarbon chain

III. fatty acids and glycerol

IV. ring structure

V. insoluble in water

VI. polar

B) I and V

Explanation: Steroids are classified as lipids because: I and V

Steroids are lipids because they are hydrophobic and insoluble in water, but they do not resemble lipids since they have a structure composed of four fused rings.

What measures did people take to prepare for the storms?
Anika [276]

The most important thing to prepare for a storm is knowing were to go in case you need to evacuate.

Both coal and diamonds are forms of elemental carbon. Coal is brittle while diamonds are considered to be the hardest Of all sub
Art [367]

arbon, as with many elements, can arrange its atoms into several different geometries, or "allotropes." In pure diamond, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to exactly 4 other carbon atoms in a very specific and energetically favorable geometry. The diamond cannot be broken or scratched unless many covalent bonds are broken, which is difficult to do. In another common allotrope, graphite, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms, and the atoms are arranged in sheets that are not covalently bonded to each other. The sheets can be broken apart easily, ultimately meaning that graphite can be easily scratched. Coal is composed of particles of different allotropes of carbon, and some "amorphous carbon," which has no defined geometry in its atomic structure. Without a continuous network of covalent bonds, coal is easily scratched (i.e. it is not hard).
