The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.
The correct answer is stabilizing selection reduces the amount of variation in a trait. disruptive selection increases the amount of variation in a trait.
Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases because natural selection favours an average phenotype and selects against extreme variations.

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection in which extreme values for a trait are favoured over intermediate values, thus it increases genetic variance.</span>
Answer:
Environmental Resistance
Explanation:
Environmental resistance can be defined as all the factors including physical factors, chemical factors and environmental factors including biotic and abiotic factors (e.g drought, mineral deficiencies, and competition) limiting the life forms of an organism or kind of organism and impose a restriction on their numerical increase. These factors limit the growth of species in a population.
Answer: Young children
Explanation: Resistance to food borne illnesses develops through exposure to small amounts of food borne pathogens. The longer the exposure, the greater the buildup of immunity. Young children are more likely to succumb to food borne illnesses due to lack of exposure to pathogens, and resultant lack of resistance to them.
During colonoscopy, a flexible Fiberoptic or video colonoscope is used to visualize, examine and photograph the large intestine including the anus, the rectum and the sigmoid, transverse and ascending colon. This procedure is most frequently used for cancer screening and for surveillance in patients with previous colon cancer or polyps. In addition, tissue biopsies can be obtained as needed and polyps can be removed and evaluated. Other uses of colonoscopy include the evaluation of patients with diarrhea of unknown cause, occult bleeding, or anemia; further study of abnormalities detected after a barium enema and diagnosis clarification and determination of the extent of inflammatory or other bowel disease. Colonoscopy is contraindicated if the patient has a suspected or documented colon perforation, acute severe diverticulitis or fulminant colitis.
