Answer:

A. Both waves carry energy and refract

Explanation:

There are two major types of waves viz; mechanical waves and electromagnetic eaves. Mechanical waves such as sound waves are waves that require a medium or matter to pass/travel through while electromagnetic waves like light waves do not strictly require a medium to travel i.e through vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves are transverse waves i.e their particles move perpendicularly to the direction of the wave while mechanical waves can either be transverse or longitudinal. All waves carry energy from one medium to another and are capable of refraction i.e. change of direction.

Therefore, both mechanical and electromagnetic waves carry energy and refract.

The diagram shows a type of lipid.

Ket [755]

Answer:

Explanation

The structure of saturated fats are not flexible unlike unsaturated fats. ALso in the diagram, there are no double bonds which are present in unsaturated lipids, eliminating A and B. Triglycerides have 3 fatty acids shown with 3 carbons that are connected with long bonds unlike phospholipids that has 2 fatty acids. Therefore the answer is E.

Glucose travels in the plasma or liquid part of

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Glucose is a sugar, highly soluble in water because it has lots of polar hydroxyl groups (-OH) which can form hydrogen-bonds with water molecules. These types of bonds are intermolecular forces which are present in other macromolecules like the DNA or proteins.

Cholesterol and triglycerids are lipids. These have long chains of hydrocarbons, which are non polar and therefore insoluble in water.

Blood is made of a solid and a liquid part. <u>The solid part contains cells</u>. <u>The liquid part (plasma), is made of water, salts, and proteins</u>. Glucose and cholesterol/triglycerids travel in the liquid part of the blood, in an aqueous environment. Because the lipids are not soluble, they need to travel with a carrier protein that keeps them protected from the surrounding water.
