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.

Andrei [34K]

The correct answers are:

• The solar wind produces the northern and southern lights

• The solar wind disrupts communication systems.  

• The solar wind distorts Earth's magnetic field.

Solar winds are geomagnetic stream of charged particles radiated from the outer atmosphere of the sun. All planets are protected from solar winds via magnetic fields but planets that are positioned closer to the sun can experience degeneration of the magnetic field.

Solar winds are capable to distort and even destroy the functioning of communication satellites  in outer space, such as radio and tv communication and satellite based internet services.

The effects of solar winds that are visible to naked eye are the Aurora Borealis (the Northern lights) and the Aurora Australis (the Southern Lights).
