Pacemakers maintain the heartbeat in people who suffer from certain defects. The function of an artificial pacemaker is to send

electrical impulses that will contract the heart muscles and regulate the pumping of the heart. Which condition could be corrected by a pacemaker?
A. The individual’s sinoatrial node ceases to function.
B. The individual’s central nervous system fails to signal the heart to contract and relax.
C. The individual’s arteries are blocked.
D. The valves in the individual’s heart cease to function.

I believe it would be A. because that is the muscle that regulates the heart pumping. This would happen because the pacemaker is taking over and it now has no purpose.

Answer: Option A

Explanation: Pacemakers are artificial device used generates electrical signals in the heart. It is used when the heart is not able to contract and relax( pumping of blood) naturally. This is known as natural pacing of the heart.

This mechanism is controlled naturally by the sinoatrial node of the heart. When the muscles present in the heart relax and contract the pumping of blood takes place.

When this mechanism is not properly working, artificial devices called as pacemakers are used.

The diagram below shows the chemical structure of a type of lipid molecule called a phospholipid.
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer No 1:

Phospholipids are made up of phosphorus head and two fatty acid molecules.  These phosphorus head and fatty acid tail is joined together by glycerol. Fatty acid molecules are made up of Carbon, hydrogen and oxyge. Hence,carbon and hydrogen can be said as two other elements present in phospholipids.

Answer No 2:

The building blocks of lipids are glycerol and fatty acids.

Lipids can be described as vital organic molecules which are not soluble in water. They are made up of chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Someof the examples of lipids are fats and oils. Lipids are the main molecules present in an organisms cell membrane and hence have huge biological importance.

Answer No 3:

Lipids are biologically important molecules as they play very vital roles in the functioning of an organisms body. Two of the functions of lipids are:

  • Lipids and phosphorus molecules combine to form phospholipids. The phospholipids are the main molecules out of which the cell membrane is made. Hence, lipids play an essential role in providing the cell membrane its structure.
  • Lipids store energy and provide insulation to the body of an organism.

Which of the following is not a macromolecule?
Sindrei [870]


The correct answer is a - Lipid

Lipids are not considered as macromolecules because unlike proteins, carbohydrates and nucleic acids which polymers, lipids are composed of a single unit made up a glycerol backbone to which two or three fatty acids are linked.

Lipids are not polymers made up of individual subunits called monomers. They contain only  one molecule and are not macromolecuels.

Examples of lipids include waxes, steroids, phospholipids and detergents. Lipids are generally hydrophobic and insoluble in water.
