Answer:

B. The foam has tiny air pockets that slow the transfer of thermal

energy away from the water in the pipe

Explanation:

Air cannot conduct heat well and can be used as a good insulator. Poor heat conduction of the insulator. When it is cold outside, the temperature gradient will adapt to the environment. The temperature of the water in the pipe is relatively high. It loses heat to the environment. The foam layer prevents this form of heat exchange due to surrounding air pockets.

Answer:

B. The foam has tiny air pockets that slow the transfer of thermal

energy away from the water in the pipe

Explanation:

Air is a poor conductor thermal energy and can be used as good insulator. Insulators are poor conductors of heat.

When it is freezing outside, the temperature gradient will tend to adjust to the ambient one. The water in the pipe being at a higher temperature will tend to lose heat energy to the surrounding.

The layer of foam will prevent this form of heat exchange from happening because of the air pocket that is present around.

Why are phospholipids important to an organisms?
lara [203]

About Phospholipid:

Cells are surrounded by a very important type of lipid called phospholipid. Phospholipid consists of hydrophilic (water loving) head and hydrophobic ( water fearing) tail. Phospholipid like to line up and arrange themselves into two parallel layers called phospholipid bilayer.

Importance of phospholipid:

Forms bilayer which provides barrier around the cell and only let in certain molecules like carbondioxide and oxygen necessary for cellular respiration.

During digestive process phospholipid form clusters to help move vitamins, nutrients and fat containing molecules through the body.

They can be used as signal transducer between cells.

They split to form product called second messenger, that can signal for leukocyte to migrate to the site of infection.

Phospholipid that is both structural and functional is sphingomyelin, forms the insulation that protect your nerves and facilitates the conduction of nerve impulses.

Phospholipid in stomach helps in breaking down the fat.

Phospholipid in bile help emulsify fats so they can be carried in blood.
