Answer:

Proteins (polymers of amino acids)

Carbohydrates (polymers of sugars)

Lipids (polymers of lipid monomers)

Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA; polymers of nucleotides)

Explanation:

Proteins:

Chemical formula is CHON

−NH2 + −COOH +R group

Monomer is Amino acids.

Examples are enzymes, and some hormones.

Uses are Storage; Signals; Structural; Contractile; Defensive; Enzyme; Transport; Receptors.

Lipids:

Chemical formula is C:H:O

Greater than 2:1 H:O (carboxyl group)

Monomer is fatty acid and glycerol.

Examples are butter, oil, cholesterol, beeswax.

Functions are energy storage; Protection; Chemical messengers; Repel water.

Carbohydrates:

Chemical formula is C:H:O

1:2:1

Monomer is monosaccharides.

Examples are Glucose, Fructose, Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose.

Uses are energy storage; structure.

Nucleic Acids:

Chemical formula is CHONP

(pentose, nitrogenous base, phosphate ).

Monomer is nucleotides.

Examples are DNA, RNA.

Uses are Genetic information

A sand storage tank used by the highway department for winter storms is leaking. As the sand leaks out, it forms a conical pile.
harina [27]

Answer:

Rate of change of volume of the pile  = 54\pi

Explanation:

Given -

Rate of increase of the base of the pile = 0.75 inches per minute

Height of the pile = 2 * the radius of the base

Let "h"  be the height of the pile and "r" be the radius of the base.

Then h = 2* r

Radius "r" = 6 inches

Rate of change of radius i.e

\frac{dr}{dt} = 0.75

Volume of conical pile

\frac{\pi }{3} * r^2 * h\\= \frac{\pi }{3} * r^2 * 2 * r\\= \frac{\pi }{3} *2* r^3

Change in volume of conical pile

\frac{dV}{dt} =  \frac{dr}{dt}  * \frac{6* \pi * r^2 }{3}

Substituting the value of rate of change of radius, we get -

\frac{dV}{dt}  = 2 * \pi * (6^2) * (0.75)\\\frac{dV}{dt}  = 54 \pi

Rate of change of volume of the pile  = 54\pi
