Answer No 1:

Phospholipids are made up of phosphorus head and two fatty acid molecules.  These phosphorus head and fatty acid tail is joined together by glycerol. Fatty acid molecules are made up of Carbon, hydrogen and oxyge. Hence,carbon and hydrogen can be said as two other elements present in phospholipids.

Answer No 2:

The building blocks of lipids are glycerol and fatty acids.

Lipids can be described as vital organic molecules which are not soluble in water. They are made up of chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Someof the examples of lipids are fats and oils. Lipids are the main molecules present in an organisms cell membrane and hence have huge biological importance.

Answer No 3:

Lipids are biologically important molecules as they play very vital roles in the functioning of an organisms body. Two of the functions of lipids are:

  • Lipids and phosphorus molecules combine to form phospholipids. The phospholipids are the main molecules out of which the cell membrane is made. Hence, lipids play an essential role in providing the cell membrane its structure.
  • Lipids store energy and provide insulation to the body of an organism.

Answer:

d. xylem and phloem

Explanation: plants possess vascular bundles.these are bundles which includes xylem and phloem tissues and transport useful substances to various plant cells.

New Xylem and phloem are formed from the vascular cambium which divides into new cells .

Xylem and phloem are thin and slender with pipe-like structure.

The xylem transports water and dissolved nutrients to the cells where they are needed.

The phloem transports the product of photosynthesis (sugar) to parts what they are used up or stored .

Xylem cells are dead and consists in vessels,trachieds and xylem parenchyma.

Phloem cells are dead and consists in sieves cell, companion cells, phloem parenchyma and phloem fibres.
