(hi, i dont know about this one personally, but i found an answer somewhere else on the internet thatll hopefully help u)

Answer: They consist of long chains of C, H, and O.

Explanation:

In terms of chemical composition, lipids differ from nucleic acids and proteins because they mostly just contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen (except for phospholipids which of course contain phosphorous). In addition to those elements, proteins contain nitrogen and sulfur, and nucleic acids contain nitrogen and phosphorous.

Carbohydrates share the C, H, and O composition as lipids, but they differ in structure. Lipids are generally exist as triglycerides, which consist of a triple hydroxyl alcohol (glycerol) that has bonded to three long-chain carboxylic acids (fatty acids) in a triple condensation reaction. Carbohydrates on the other hand are made of carbon ring structures that either remain alone or polymerize into long polysaccharide chains.

In human pedigree if a symbol is fully filled what does it represent?
Ronch [10]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>If a symbol is fully filled in a human pedigree, it means that the individual represented by the symbol is affected by the trait whose inheritance is being illustrated by the pedigree.</em>

The human pedigree generally represents a symbolic illustration of how a particular trait is inherited across generations in a particular family. It shows the relationship between the members of a family and how the trait is passed down each generation either in a silent or expressive form.

Individuals within a human pedigree are represented with symbols and <u>those affected by the trait in question are completely shaded</u>. <u>Those carrying the trait in silent form are half-shaded while those that do not have traces of the trait at all are left completely unshaded.</u>
