Answer:

Lipids are molecules that contain hydrocarbons and make up the building blocks of the structure and function of living cells. Examples of lipids include fats, oils, waxes, certain vitamins (such as A, D, E and K), hormones and most of the cell membrane that is not made up of protein. There are three types of lipids in the body, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterols.  Triglycerides are also known as triacylglycerols and compose 95% of fat in the foods we eat. Triglycerides are also the main fats we store in our body. When you pinch an inch around your waist, you are pinching triglycerides. Phospholipids bring water and fat together and are called emulsifiers. Phospholipids make up cell membranes and lipid carrier molecules. cholesterols are found in tissues of animals and plants. The most well known sterol in our body is cholesterol. Cholesterol makes up bile, hormones and vitamin D.

Is human development best characterized as a slow, gradual process, or is it best viewed as one of more abrupt change?
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Heyya!

Human development is a slow and gradual process. There seems to be slow and gradual change that becomes abrupt change. The mind has many connections and works according to past habits. A person who seeks to improve themselves will gradually change specific areas within their life. After a while there is a cascade effect that causes linked areas to be altered. Skills and methods that required practice and habit forming transition to being a natural part of life.  When the personality suddenly changes, I use the term evolution. Whenever one occurs, the person will probably see their past self as problematic.
