Biology
2 answers:
valentinak56 [21]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

"this hydrophobic ("water fearing") nature of lipids is driven by the bonds between these many carbons and hydrogens. ... Thus, long chains of carbon-hydrogens bonds form a nonpolar molecule."

Answer:

Lipids are hydrophobic because they do not mix with water. Lipids are made of long chains of carbon and hydrogen. ... The partial charges on the water molecule cannot interact with the neutral lipid molecule and thus water and lipids do not mix.

How is a tendon different from a ligament? A. A tendon joins a bone to a bone; a ligament joins a muscle to a bone. B. A tendon
rusak2 [61]
B is correct. A tendon will join a muscle to a bone, and a ligament joins a bone to another bone. I think of it this way, partly influenced by my biology teacher:

- The achilles tendon, at the back of your foot, clearly joins foot to calf muscle
- The word ligament comes from 'deligare' in Latin, which roughly means to tie           together. A ligament 'ties' two bones together

I hope this helps
