What happens in nuclear fusion reaction is that<span> four hydrogen </span>nuclei combine in a <span>proton-proton </span><span>fusion </span><span>to form one </span>helium atom. In the process of fusing to form the helium atom, some of the mass of the hydrogen atoms is converted into vast amounts of energy, which is released.
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity.
Answer and explanation;
-All lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Some of them also contain nitrogen and phosphorus. The four main classes of lipids are fats, waxes, sterols, and phospholipids. Fats are triglycerides.
-The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.
-Lipids are water-insoluble (hydrophobic), and this property is put to great use in the organisation of cells and tissues.
For example; phospholipids are a class of lipids that is amphipathic; that is it contains fatty acid tails that are hydrophobic, and a phosphate head that is hydrophilic. This means the phosphate group will orientate itself towards water and away from the rest of the molecule, and also gives rise to the special properties that allow phospholipids to be used to form membranes.
Answer:
c) receptor; control center; effector.
Explanation:
Homeostasis maintains the internal body conditions almost constant. It includes specific cells that sense any deviations of internal or external conditions from the normal range. These cells are called receptors. The sensory information from the receptors is delivered to the control center. The central nervous system mainly serves as a control system wherein sensory information from the receptors is processed. The control center commands muscles and/or glands to perform desired responses to restore the homeostasis. Here, muscles and glands serve as effectors.
For example, thermoreceptors sense the rise of body temperature and the brain (control center) commands sweat glands (effectors) to produce sweat.
