Answer:

Not necessarily pivotal, but it would be just dumb not use every opportunity to

increase food security, food safety and healthiness, yield efficiency, ressource efficiency, farmers' safety and last but not least reduce carbon emissions.

I don't think that when they invented the Haber-Bosch process they debated about wether it was 'pivotal' in order to feed the world's population - although in hindsight, it absolutely was!

They just used it because everyone profited from it.

Today, we're in the same situation with biotechnology.

Answer:

Yes. We have only a limited amount of land and space, and every plant is adapted to its own environment. Through gene manipulation, we could perhaps create plants that can grow in a wide variety of environments, grow taller or wider, or be more resistant to diseases

liberstina [14]

The correct answer is option (D) Lipid molecules are nonpolar because they repel water molecules, which are polar.

Lipids are organic compounds made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A glycerol is a organic molecule with three hydroxyl groups and a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.

Lipids are hydrophobic, nonpolar molecules with no charge on their ends. Waxes are long chain nonpolar lipids. The water repelling property of the waxes prevent the water sticking to it and appear as water beads on its surface. The hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail of the fatty acids are hydrophobic in nature making them repel water. The presence of wax on the surface of the plants and animals protects them from dehydration.

Thus, the nonpolar property of lipids make it insoluble in the polar solvents like water as there is no interaction or sharing of electrons between them.

Use the phylogenetic tree to the right to determine which statement below is true.
Setler79 [48]

<u>Answer:</u>

Organisms C and D are more closely related than  

Organisms A and B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Organisms A and B are not related much as the distance between them is more than the organisms C and D so the C and D are closer than A and B. The phylogenetic tree shows the biological evolutionary relationship among various biological   species. So the given tree shows the relationship as mentioned above.

It also show the physical and genetic relationship among the various biological species. The phylogeny is generally shown by using a particular phylogenetic tree. For example, the simple one below which describes the different evolutionary relationships between the great apes. The genus Pongo includes orangutans, Pan includes chimpanzees and bonobos, and Homo includes humans, while Gorilla is self-evident.
