Answer: Lipids.

Explanation:

The large carbon -hydrogen bonds(C-H) in chains of lipids makes them ideal storage of energy.

T<u>he more C-H bonds breakage, the higher protons availability from Citric acid cycle NADH and FADH2  and hydrogen atom splitting (to protons and electrons) for  the electron transport chains (ETC</u>), and therefore the higher proton pumps for  more ATP's synthesis in the mitochondria matrix.  

In addition large number of electrons  surrounding carbon atom in fatty acids than other food molecule is added factor.  The transfer of these electrons to oxygen during oxidation of fatty acids releases large amount of energy (9 kilo calorie) into the cells,  more than other food substances

Answer:

An inclined plane reduces the effort force by increasing the distance through which the force is applied. So the actual effort decreases and is less than the unity always. Therefore, an inclined plane reduces the effort as well as work done.

When you are focusing an object under the microscope, explain why some parts are in focus and some parts are out of focus?
ohaa [14]

<span>Your basic lens is the pinhole camera. You can illustrate a picture to exemplify how the light rays bypass through the hole to outline a picture on the screen. A lens is a development on the pinhole, but the pinhole result is still there, defined by the width of the lens. In a camera, the width is adjustable and that is what the f-stop embodies. A small f-stop means a small hole and the pinhole effect permits focus in a large range. A large f-stop means the focus has to be more accurate, and things in front or behind the focus point are blurred. In a microscope you have no such adjustment, so depth of focus is always the same meaning that some objects in front of and behind the object being viewed will also come into view in focus.</span>

Identify the following terms that are associated with the nitrogen cycle.
Sonja [21]

Answer & explanation:

1.  In the nitrification process, the oxidation of ammonia (NH₃) occurs, converting it to nitrite and, subsequently, to nitrate. This process is performed by chemosynthetic bacteria (also known as nitrifying bacteria), that is, they use the energy released in nitrification to synthesize their organic substances.

2. Denitrification occurs when bacteria in the soil called denitrifiers use nitrates and turn them into nitrogen gas. Denitrification ensures the return of nitrogen to the atmosphere.

3. The fixation of atmospheric nitrogen occurs mainly with the help of bacteria. These bacteria form nodules in the cortical region of the roots of these plants, where they act by capturing atmospheric nitrogen and transforming it into ammonia (NH₃), which will be used by plants.
