Answer:

Explanation:

The Carbon CycleChanges to The Carbon CycleThe Ocean and CarbonBiological Pump

The ocean plays an important part in the carbon cycle. Overall, the ocean is called a carbon ‘sink’ because it takes up more carbon from the atmosphere than it gives up.Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in the surface waters of the ocean. Some of the carbon dioxide stays as dissolved gas, but much of it gets turned into other things. Photosynthesis by tiny marine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matter

Lipids and carbohydrates differ in which of the following fundamental respects?
Schach [20]

Answer:

Carbohydrates are hydrophilic  whereas Lipids are hydrophobic.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates can be most commonly understood as hydrates of carbons. They generally contain more than two carbon atoms and are easily soluble in water, thus giving them the characteristics of hydrophilic compounds. Sugar and glucose are some of the important examples of carbohydrates.

On the other hand, lipids comprise a polar region, which attracts water and a much larger non-polar region, which repels water. This non-polar region dominates the polar region of lipid molecules thus making it a hydrophobic compound. Oils, fatty substances, steroids, and waxes are some of the important examples of Lipid molecules.
