Answer:

Ions are some atoms with charges.

Explanation:

This ions could be positive or negative, they are formed because the atom gained or lost some electrons in their internal structure.

In the human body, they are very common because they are constantly formed, for example in our cells membranes, we need some potassium and calcium ion to transport water inside the cells.

Also this ions are formed when we eat food during digestion process, some of this ions are the responsible for aging.

Hope this info is useful.

Electrolytes produce ions and enable the body to function

Body fluid contains electrolytes, chemicals which, when they dissolve in water, produce charged ions. These ions enable the flow of electrical signals through the body.

Lipid is one of the major classes of biomolecules needed by the body. The body breaks down the lipids that we consume to create
Darina [25.2K]
So the breakdown of lipids actually starts in the mouth. Your saliva has this little enzyme called lingual lipase, which breaks down these fats into something called diglycerides. These diglycyerides then make there way to the intestines, where they stimulate the pancreas to release lipase (another fat breaking enzyme!) and the pancreas to release bile. The bile and pancreatic juices both work together to break these diglycerides into fatty acids. It’s helpful to know some of the root words. Glycerol- the framework to which the fatty acids stick. Glyceride- think of this guy as several fatty acids stuck to a glycerol. Lipids- think fats, and their derivatives (our glyceride friends.) tri/di/mono- these are just number prefixes! Lipids are one glycerol molecule, and then either one, two, or three fatty acids attached, which is where you get mono(1)/di(2)/tri(3)glyceride from. I know this was long, but hopefully it helps!

Answer:

B each new layer has a new bit of the story to tell and you can see sequential time with each strata

A. 1. Embryological development is very similar for many animals so it would differ a lot from the DNA.

2. embryological evidence is a poor substitute for DNA evidence because of it's almost universal progression. It would be more difficult to see difference in embryos vs via DNA

D. Homologous structures are structures that are similar in related organisms because they were inherited from a common ancestor. Like the arthralgus of a whale that looks very similar to a terrestrial mammals tells us that the whale evolved from land mammals

C. Relative dating is used to determine a fossils approximate age by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages. Absolute dating is used to determine a precise age of a fossil by using radiometric dating to measure the decay of isotopes, either within the fossil or more often the rocks associated with it.
