The weather and amount of resources
Species that have a greater gene pool are scientifically proven to survive better than those that have a smaller gene pool. This is because the species has diversity in the genes allowing them to be able to adapt to different situations. The smaller gene pool has less diversity meaning that it cannot adapt as easily. So, the answer is most likely D. Species A will most likely go extinct and species B will continue to thrive.
The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.
Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.
Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.
Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.
