B . A reptile slows down in colder temperature
Answer:
Outcome variable (dependent variable)
Explanation:
In a scientific investigation, a DEPENDENT VARIABLE (also known as outcome variable) is the variable that is being measured. The dependent variable, as the name implies, responds to the changes made to the independent variable.
For example, in an experiment where the effects of different concentration of fertilizer is used to test plant growth (height), the HEIGHT OF THE PLANTS is the dependent variable because it is the variable being measured.
The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.
Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.
Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.
Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.
