What are the four biological compounds in living things?
sergejj [24]
There are more than simply 4 biological compounds in the human body. I suppose to categorise, the question is hinting towards the molecules like Carbohydrates ( Poly and mono saccharides ) Proteins ( Polypeptides Made of amino acids) and Fats. There is also water, but I'm hesitant to class that as a biological compound, as it's not organic.

Which nation would be CLOSEST to the command side on this economic
Alina [70]

Answer: D) North Korea

==============================================================

Explanation:

The United States, the United Kingdom, and France are all countries that have capitalistic economies. This means that (for the most part) private industry and the market determines what products are produced and who gets those products. I said "for the most part" because these countries don't follow a purely capitalistic structure. There are some elements of government regulation to ensure that no breakdowns occur. The regulations are also to ensure some level of fairness as well, in addition to preventing things like fraud.

On the other hand, countries like North Korea are known as command economies because the government determines what products are to be made and they determine who gets the products. This means that they set the prices as well to whatever they feel is correct (even if the market may disagree otherwise). The term "communism" is often strongly connected to the term "command economy".
