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.

Answer:

Population density and transportation, Switzerland (technically), Africa

Explanation:

population density means of the population is close together and as such it can spread easier. Modern transportation I.E. buses, planes, railroads can transport large numbers of infected people to several different places within a nation and lead to more cases Switzerland is the highest per capita it has 1340 confirm cases per 1 million people however that's likely because they are able to test a large amount of the population at once whereas a larger Nations such as the u.s. or China is unable to test all their population at once and get accurate results. Africa is least affected due to not having a lot of population some together with the exception of some major cities and more industrialized countries such as Egypt and also Lacking the modern transportation systems available in more industrialized nations they don't have as many trains they don't really have too many planes able to transport infected people everywhere

Answer:

transport nutrients and water from below-ground tissues to above-ground tissues and grow taller.

absorb nutrients from the soil

Explanation:

The vascular tissues of plants is made of specialized conducting tissues the xylem and phloem.

This tissues form a continuous systems through the plant body and provide pathways for the transport of water, nutrients, signaling molecules and also provide support for plant body against mechanical stresses. The xylem transport water and nutrients from the roots to other parts of the plant while the phloem transport photosynthate the product of photosynthesis from the source where it is produced to other plant part.
