Answer:

16. Carbohydrates  

17. Lipids

18. Carbohydrates

19. Carbohydrates

20. Lipids

21. Lipids

22. Carbohydrates

23. Lipids

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates can be classified into three types: monosaccharides (e.g. glucose), disaccharides (e.g., lactose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch). Cellulose is a carbohydrate where many glucose rings chain together, while chitin is a polysaccharide consisting of chains of modified glucose molecules.

Lipids represent a diverse group of organic molecules that include, among others, fats, waxes, oils, hormones, etc. Lipids play a role by insulating (and protecting) the body. For example, there is a layer of fats beneath the skin which enables to maintain body temperature relatively constant. In animals, lipids constitute about 50% of the mass of cell membranes. These membrane lipids are mainly phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol. There are hormones that derive from lipids such as steroid hormones, which derive from cholesterol. Some examples of steroid hormones are testosterone, estrogen and cortisol.

How do trees act as carbon sinks?
Romashka [77]


The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil.  Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks,  the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.
