Explain why proteins are considered polymers but lipids are not
hammer [34]

Answer:

Polymers are made from a chain of one similar subunit bound together in sequence. Proteins are made from polypepetide chains which are sequences of amino acid subunits. Another example of polymer is DNA and RNA made of nucleic acid subunits.

However, lipids do not have one similar subunit but rather variable ways in which the lipid chains can form. For example phospholipid unit is made of a phosphate molecule bound to a fatty acid chain and glycerol. A triglyceride is a subunit of glycerol bound to three fatty acids chains. Cholesterol is also considered a lipid but is made of carbon rings rather than chains. Lipids therefore cannot be referred to as a polymer.

Which part of the eye is responsible for detecting colored light?
Sergio [31]
You have rods and cones in your eye. Cones detect colour and fine detail. Rods are used for monochrome vision; usually, monochrome vision is used in poorly lit, dark environments. Rods and cones are both in the retina of the eye.

Cones = Colour. CC is a good mnemonic.

What kind of genetic disorder is represented in the pedigree?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

an autosomal recessive disorder

Explanation:

Autosomal recessive disorders are inherited diseases caused by the presence of two copies (alleles) of an abnormal gene, thereby only homo-zygous recessive individuals are affected by this type of disease. In consequence, although both parents don't express the disease, they can be carriers and pass this recessive disorder to their offspring who express the disease. In this case, the pedigree shows that heterozygous parents are not affected but they are carriers of the recessive allele for this disease, thereby some offspring express the trait. The black circle (female) and the black square (male) indicate affected individuals in the pedigree chart. Since both parents are heterozygous, 1/4 (25%) of all offspring would be expected to have the autosomal recessive disorder.

Explain why estuaries salt marshes and mangrove forests have more variation in salinity than other marine habitats like the ocea
cupoosta [38]
Estuaries, salt marshes and mangrove forests have more variation in salinity than other marine habitats like the ocean and sea floor because of the environment present in these locations. They are considered to be unique ecosystems in semi-sheltered areas near the ocean coastline. These areas often serve as nursing grounds where young marine life is protected during development.
