The three correct answers are;

B. forming waxy leaf coverings

D. storing energy in fat cells

E. forming cell membranes

Lipids are a large group of biological molecules that include phospholipids, fats, oils, waxes and some steroids. Almost all lipids are hydrophobic (i.e. insoluble in water). Lipids play many important different functions in a cell. Lipids are vital component of all cellular membranes. They store energy in the form of fats in the body. Waxy coverings on some leaves are composed of lipids. Lipids are also essential for heat insulation, cellular communication and protection.

Which is an example of positive gravitropism?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

c. the plant root growing down into the soil

Explanation:

The plant root going down deep into the soil is an example of positive gravitropism. Gravity pulls everything towards the center of earth i.e. downwards and roots follow the direction of gravity automatically by growing downward towards soil that is why it is known as positive gravitropism. In short we can say that root favors the direction of gravity.

Shoot on the other hand show negative geotropism/gravitropism i.e. it grows towards the opposite direction of gravity. Shoot grow towards upside direction i.e. away from the surface towards sky.

If the activation energy required for a chemical reaction were reduced, what would happen to the rate of the reaction? The rate
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

The rate would increase.

Explanation:

Activation energy is the energy needed for a chemical reaction to start while the rate of reaction is how a reactant turns into the product. Catalysts are used to speeden up the rate of a chemical reaction.

The catalyst do this by lowering the activation energy needed for the reaction to occur, leading to the increase in the rate at which the same reaction occurs. It should be noted that a catalyst is not a reactant, neither does it get used up in the chemical reaction. It just provides an alternative energy pathway with a reduced activation energy, hereby, helping the reaction to proceed faster than it would without the catalyst.
