A) Smaller and simpler molecules such as sugars tend to dissolve, while larger and complex molecules such as lipids aggregate out.
B) When water is heated, it takes less heat to dissolve sugars than it does to dissolve lipids.
C) Water molecules stay close together as a result of adhesion, while lipids aggregate out as result of cohesion.

Answer:

D) Water dissolves some molecules while causing the aggregation of others because of hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions.

Explanation:

Sugars tend to dissolve, while lipids aggregate out because sugar has hydrophilic (water loving) interaction with water and on the other hand lipids have hydrophobic (fear of water) interaction with water. Water is a polar solvent and only polar solute dissolve in it due to phenomenon of like dissolve like, while lipids does not dissolve in it because lipid is non-polar in nature. In this case, sugar is hydrophilic while lipids is hydrophobic.

fomenos

Answer:

As skin cells move toward the surface of the body, they produce a protein that reduces water loss. This process is called Keratinization.

Explanation:

Keratinization is a process which changes the stratum corneum of the skin to a hard cover which provides protection.

The process of keratinization involves polymerization of keratin polypeptides. The keratin polypeptides gets polymerized into intermediate filaments of keratin. Each of the intermediate filament of keratin constitute around 30,000 polypeptides of keratin.
