Evgesh-ka [11]3 years ago

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.

How would seasons on Earth differ if Earth's axis was at a 90 degree angle relative to its orbit?
Triss [41]

Answer:

There would be no seasons anywhere on Earth

Explanation:

If the Earth's axis was not tilting and it was at a 90 degrees angle relative to its orbit, then the seasons on Earth would disappear. The climate on the planet would be defined by the latitude. The equator and the areas close to it would always have summer, as they will receive direct sunlight throughout all of the year. The mid-latitudes will always have temperate climate, reminding of spring and autumn, as the sunlight will not be very direct, but it will also not be very dispersed, jut enough to create a constantly pleasant climate. The higher latitudes will always have winter, as the sunlight will come at a very low angle throughout all of the year, thus it will be very dispersed, not enough to ever warm this parts enough, so they will constantly be under ice.

All of Earth's biomes and ecosystems, except the most remote, are affected by the impact that humans have made on the environmen
irina [24]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

All biomes, even the most remote, are affected by the impact humans have on the environment.

Humans have been causing deforestation, pollution, agricultural expansion, mining, desertification, extinction of animals and plants, burning and other practices that have had extremely negative impacts on biomes around the world. In addition, all the pollution and exploitation of nature that humans have caused has caused harmful climate change that has affected even the most remote biomes.

The biome is a large set of interconnected ecosystems. Ecosystem, in turn, is an ecological system where there is life and interaction between living beings in a given space, and can vary in size, from a puddle to a large forest.
