Ans.

Fats are biomolecules, made up of hydrocarbon compounds (compounds made up of carbon and hydrogen). Examples of fats include triglycerides, cholesterol, and phospholipids. Fats are important for the body as they are major components of cell membrane or plasma membrane along with some protein and carbohydrate molecules.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

D. Form part of the cell membrane

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Fats are among the three major nutrients in food, other being proteins and carbohydrates.
  • The body uses fat as a source of fuels, and fat is the major storage form of energy in the body.
  • Fat has other function such as insulation and protection of vital organs such as the heart and the lungs.
  • Fats also acts as chemical messengers helping proteins carry out their functions. Fats are also major components of the cell membrane which regulates materials in and out of the cell.

The answer is A) emulsified by bile salts

<span>In order for the fat to be digested, the fat globules must be emulsified first by bile salts in the stomach.  By emulsifying we mean the breaking of globules of fat into much smaller emulsion droplets. The liver produces the bile salts which breakdowns fats into small droplets. The fat then is digested by lipase. </span>

Origin of viruses. Exactly how and when did different viruses originate​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

According to this hypothesis, viruses evolved early in Earth's history from fundamental replicative molecules that formed in the “primordial soup” as the planet began cooling. These molecules also led to the evolution of cellular organisms—the viral hosts—either in parallel or at a later stage of evolution.

That would have been 3 or so billion years ago, early in earths history.

which statement describes what most likely occurs when I Compass is placed next to a simple circuit made from Battery, a light b
Arte-miy333 [17]
I believe the statement would be that, A magnetic field created by the electric current causes the compass needle to move. 
An electric current through a conductor creates a magnetic field,such that when a charged particle such as an electron, proton, or ion is in motion, magnetic lines of force rotate around the particle. Since current moving through the wire consists of electrons in motion, there is a magnetic field around the wire, which causes the compass needle to deflect.

Nady [450]

Answer:

The nitrogen gas must be changed to a form called nitrates, which plants can absorb through their roots. The process of changing nitrogen gas to nitrates is called nitrogen fixation. It is carried out by nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The bacteria live in soil and roots of legumes, such as peas.
