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.

Since ammonia is neurotoxic to urotelic organisms, which includes humans, nitrogen atoms can be transported from tissues to the
devlian [24]

Answer:

All the above participate in the ammonia excretion

Explanation:

The amino groups present in the amino acids are required to form the urea. The ammonia disposal takes place un the liver by the urea formation and is excreted in the kidneys by urine. When free ammonia is produced in peripheral tissues, it is transported to the liver by glucose -alanine cycle, alanine in transported in the blood to the liver, where is converted into pyruvate.  

Another pathway is by glutamine synthase/glutaminase system. The storage and transport of ammonia to the liver is glutamine from glutamate by glutamine synthetase: NH3 + glutamate → glutamine once in the liver glutamine is transformed into glutamate again by glutaminase enzyme: glutamine → NH3 + glutamate.

In the liver takes place the urea cycle, the amino acids transported into the liver can be converted to aspartate. This aspartate enters the urea cycle forming an intermediate of the cycle, and the final product is urea that is excreted by urine.

Which is a common role of waxes in plants?
Zanzabum

Ans.

Plant waxes include complex compounds of alcohols, carbohydrates, acids, esters, hydrocarbons, and their combinations, present at the outside of epidermal cells. These waxes are strongly hydrophobic in nature and act as water repellents.

Thus, they provide protection to the aquatic plants against surface wetting. In land plants, waxes, present in cuticle prevent water loss, such as in dessert plants. Other functions of waxes include energy-storage, self-cleaning and reflection of UV radiation.
