Answer:

Cerebrosides

Explanation

Cerebrosides belong to a group of sphingolipids called glycosphingolipids. they are also commonly known as monoglycosylceramides because they contain only single unit of monosaccharide (that commonly is galactose) that is linked with ceramide.

Function:

They have very important role in nervous system because they are part of a group of lipids that are crucial component of biological membranes as well as regulators of their function.

Any problem associated with proper working of cerebrosides can cause cause organ dysfunctional diseases in humans.

Please see figure of cerebrosides in figure attached.

Hope it helps!

Answer:

The 2 ways abiotic factors affect biotic factors are as follows:

An alligator submerges itself under water to stay cool in the summer.
A naked mole rat creates burrows underground.

Explanation:

Abiotic Factors:

All non-living factors that is present or influences an ecosystem. Abiotic factors determine the dynamics of an ecosystem such as the terrain, the atmosphere as well as the inhabitant flora and fauna. Water, sunlight, oxygen, temperature, and soil are all abiotic factors.

Biotic Factors:

All living factors in an ecosystem i.e. the plants and animals.

Lets analyze all the options:

A bird picking food out of an alligator's teeth is an interaction between 2 biotic factors, the bird and the alligator or in another case, the bird and the food.
Water being oxygenated is an interaction between 2 abiotic factors: water and oxygen.

Red-green color blindness (c) is a recessive sex-linked trait. A colorblind male marries a normal female.

solong [7]

Sex linked traits can only be held on the X chromosomes, so males only need one while females need two. Since the daughter has it, it must mean the mother is a carrier and has one normal X chromosome and another with the recessive trait (c).

The Venn diagram represents two eukaryote kingdoms. Based on the characteristics shown, A represents __________ and B represents

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The Venn diagram shows characteristics of two types of living organisms, where A represents plants (Reino Planatae) and B fungi (Reino Fungi) (option A).

Explanation:

In the taxonomic classification of living organisms, the classification by kingdoms tends to compare the morphological and functional characteristics of the species, in addition to their genetic lineage.

<u>In the Venn diagram (image)</u>:

A represents the Plantae kingdom because its cells have chloroplasts with chlorophyll, cell wall of cellulose and functionally autotrophic, characteristics linked to plants.
B in the diagram represents fungi (Fungi Kingdom) due to the presence of hyphae, cell wall of chitin and being heterotrophic.

The two circles in the diagram coincide in the cellular elements that both organisms have in common, in addition to being Eukaryotes.
