Answer:

The correct answer would be B. lipids.

Lipids are organic compounds which are insoluble in polar solvents such as water and are soluble in non-polar solvent such as ether.

They are essential for proper functioning of the body.

They serve various functions such as:

Energy storage: Excess of food we eat is converted into fats and is stored in adipose tissues. They serve as the source of energy when levels of glucose are low in the blood.

Insulation: Lipids helps in maintaining the constant internal temperature of the body. Subcutaneous fats serve as the blanket layer around the tissue which aids in insulating the body against external temperatures. Triglycerides are mainly involved in thermal insulation and sphingolipids are mainly involved in electrical insulation.

Protection: Visceral fat (layer of fat around the internal organs) act like bubble wrap around the internal organs and protect them from injury, trauma or shock.

Other functions may include structural component (plasma membrane), hormonal roles (such as steroidal hormones), absorption of fat-soluble vitamins et cetera.

I think the correct  answer from the choices listed above is option B. Lipid is the organic molecule which is responsible for the insulation of internal organs against shock. It can act as a shock absorber in order to protect important organs and also it insulate the body from extreme temperatures.

Newborn human babies with lesser body weight are prone to infections. Heavier babies are difficult to deliver through the narrow
Kipish [7]
The answer is (A) stabilizing selection. Stabilizing selection favors the average in a population. In this case, babies that are born at a normal body weight, or an average between the two extremes of underweight and large, tend to have more favorable outcomes.

Write a 225 word report on why each of the factors (R, K, L, S, C, and P) are important factors needed to determine the amount o
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,

K - soil erodibility factor

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient

C- the cover and management factor

P - the erosion control practice factor

Explanation:

The R, K, L, S, C, and P factors are -  

R - the rainfall erosivity factor,  which depends on geographic location. The greater is the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the higher will bethe erosion potential.  

K - soil erodibility factor,  K signifies the soil loss in tonnes/hectare (tons/acre) for any agricultural land that is cultivated and has a slope length (assumed) of 22.13 meters and slope steepness of 9%. K represents the susceptibility of a soil particle to be easily detached from the surface and carried away by rainfall and runoff. The greater is the value of K , the greater is the erodibility of the soil particles.

L- the topographic factor derived from slope length, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope lengths is greater than an assumed slope length of 22.13 meters. The longer the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.  

S -the topographic factor derived from slope gradient, It signifies the extent of soil being carried away when slope steepness is greater than an assumed slope steepness of 9%. The steeper the slope , the higher is the rate of erosion.

C- the cover and management factor, It states how effective soil and crop management systems is in terms of preventing soil loss. It is a ratio of soil loss from land under a specific crop and management system to corresponding loss from continuously fallow and tilled land. The higher the C value, the lower is the management process quality to prevent soil erosion

P - the erosion control practice factor,  It represents the after effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion by reducing the amount and rate of the water runoff. The lower the P value, the better is the effects of practices pertaining to reduce erosion
