Answer:

C. Cholesterol

Explanation:

Cholesterol maintains the fluidity of the cell membrane and thereby, regulates its function.

Bile acids are derived from cholesterol which serves as their precursor. For example, Taurocholic acid is a polar derivative of cholesterol. Bile acids serve in the absorption of fatty acids, glycerol, and fat-soluble vitamins as these compounds are non-polar in nature.  

Vitamin D is produced when the derivative of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol undergoes photolysis in skin cells in presence of sunlight.

Melissa is getting ready for a party where she plans to serve grilled chicken and a raw vegetable salad. she washes her hands, t
vivado [14]
I would say that Melissa has made the mistake of using the same uncleaned cutting board first for cutting up chicken which is notorious for forming bacteria quickly when out of the fridge and then chopping vegetables on it thus running the possibility of contaminating the vegetables with chicken bacteria. She should ensure she washes the cutting board carefully with soap and water to avoid contamination of the vegetables.

These are things that make up a living organism. and atoms make up everything and the fact that they can create something that is living is beyond comprehension if not we would be able to create living things from nonliving things

Not only does sediment spread horizontality and from youngest (top) to oldest (bottom), it also continues to spread flat in all
Mama L [17]

Answer:

law of superposition

Explanation:

The law of superposition in geology suggests that the sediments are spreading out in a horizontal manner, flat, in all directions, until there's some natural feature that will stop them. It also suggests that the sediments are arranged vertically from the oldest being at the bottom, and the youngest layers being on the top.

Even though this is not always the case in nature, still there are lot of examples that support the law of superposition. When the sediments are aligned in that manner, the geologists find it very helpful and easy to determine the relative age of the layers, as well as the relative age of the fossils that are found in them.
