Explanation:

a. used to make one end of a lipid molecule hydrophillic - -PO4^3-

Phosphate group is Hydrophilic because it is the soluble end of the lipid and it dissociates in water.

b. makes attached molecule more water soluble - -OH

-OH reacts with water molecules readily to form hydrogen bonds.

c. strongly charged - -PO4^3-

Phosphate group has a 3- charge which means it has 3 electrons gor bonding.

d. nonpolar and very stable - -CH3

Methyl group is non polar because it does not form any hydrogen bond with water. The anion has eight valence electrons, the radical seven and the cation six. All three forms are highly reactive and rarely observed bonds -

e. polar and forms hydrogen -OH

-OH readily forms hydrogen bonds with water molecules.

f. can be added to DNA to regulate gene expression - -PO4^3-

Gene expression is very common in Eukaryotes like bacteria cells which is via phosphorylates.

Explain how life history traits vary with environmental conditions and with population density
schepotkina [342]
They vary on shape reproduction patterns in species. Traits that affect a organism's schedule of reproduction, selective pressures vary so life histories are very diverse. Life history traits are products of natural selection and an organisms life history comprises the traits that affect schedule of reproduction and survival, and also the traits are evolutionary outcomes reflected in the envelopment, physiology and behavior.

What part of the brain is activated whenever a child enacts a particular behavior, but also whenever that child simply observes
mamaluj [8]
Mirror neurons are activated.

A mirror neuron is a special type of neuron involved when an animal performs an action which and when the animal sees other animals performing the same action. The mirror neuron replicates the behavior of the other animals as if the animal itself was acting. These types of neurons are found primarily in primates, and in humans, the region of the brain where they are located is the premotor cortex, among a few others.
