Answer:

B. the appearance of lichens and mosses in an area where a glacier has recently melted away

Explanation:

Ecological succession, which refers to the series of changes that occurs over time in an ecosystem, can be of two types namely: primary succession and secondary succession.

Primary succession is a succession that involves an area where no form of life has grown previously, hence, the area of land is barren e.g bare rock. Primary succession is first colonized by species called PIONEER SPECIES e.g. lichens, mosses etc.

According to this question, "the appearance of lichens and mosses (pioneer species) in an area where a glacier has recently melted away" is an example of PRIMARY SUCCESSION.

Classify each picture as Carbohydrates or Lipids

stepan [7]

Answer:

1. Lipids

2. Carbohydrate

3. Lipids

4. Carbohydrate

5. Lipids

6. Lipids

7. Carbohydrate

Explanation:

Lipids and carbohydrates are two of the four major biological molecules (the other two being proteins and nucleic acids). They (lipids and carbohydrates) are both long chains composed of elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).

Lipids called triglycerides are majorly made up of building block fatty acids (long hydrocarbon chains with carboxylic acid) and glycerol ( an hydrocarbon made up of three hydroxyll groups).

Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are made up of long chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with aldehyde or ketone functional group. They are composed of monosaccharide building blocks (also called simple sugars) with general formula CH20(n).

Based on the structural composition of lipids and carbohydrates, structures 1,3,5 and 6 are lipids while 2, 4 and 7 are carbohydrates.
