Answer choice: [C]:
_________________________________________

V = d / t  = 1800 mi / 40 min = 180 mi / 40 min = 45 mi / min .

Which very well could be "Answer choice: [C]:  45 m/min" ; except, this answer choice may have been written incorrectly—and should read:
                                                 "45 m/min."
________________________________________________________

Now, notice that all the answer choices given are in "meters" per (unit time—seconds or mins.

So, we need to convert:

45 mi.  to "meters", or "m".
______________________________________
Note the following conversions:
_______________________________________
 1 mi. = 1750 yd
______________________________________
3 ft. = 1 yd.
____________________________________

1 m = 3.2 ft.
_____________________

So, 1 mi. = ? m ;
_____________________
 1 mi * ( 1760 yd/ mi) * (3 ft / 1 yd) * ( 1m / 3.2 ft) = _?_  m ?
_____________________________________________________
On the "left hand side" , the units of  "mi", "yd", and "ft" ; cancel to "1" ;
  ____________________________________________________
    and we are left with:
______________________________________
[(1760 * 3)]  /  [(3)*(3.2)]   m  = (5280 / 9.6) m  =  550 m .
______________________________________________
So, we have:  550 m / min ; which match NONE of the answer choices.

However, it is possible that choices A or B, which are given in "m/sec" (meters per second); are among the correct choices.
____________________________________________

So, we convert:   550 m / min to:   "m / sec " ;
______________________________________
( 550 m/ min)*(1 min/ 60 sec) =  (550/60) m/sec = (55/6) m/ sec
                                                                                    = 9 1/6 m / sec .
_____________________________________________________
                                                                 which is:  None of the above.
______________________________________________________
                     Unless the answer choices were written incorrectly.

Carbon chains are principal features of both carbohydrates and lipids.what is the primary difference between these two types of
solong [7]
While both carbohydrates and lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen there are several differences:

1. Carbohydrates are chains of 2 or more carbon atoms.  These can be very lengthy (like long cellulose chains of glucose units). They have many polar OH groups (e.g. glucose - C6H6O6). Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and are soluble in water because of their polar OH groups. They are not necessarily sugars nor are they necessarily sweet. They are also important components of DNA, RNA and ATP.

2. Lipids are more diverse in their chemistry. They generally have a polar region at one end (this end attracts water) and a large non polar hydrocarbon region that repels water. Lipids don't dissolve in water and instead clump together with their hydrocarbon regions on the interior. Lipids include oils, fatty acids, waxes, steroids and hormones.
