While both carbohydrates and lipids are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen there are several differences:
1. Carbohydrates are chains of 2 or more carbon atoms. These can be very lengthy (like long cellulose chains of glucose units). They have many polar OH groups (e.g. glucose - C6H6O6). Most carbohydrates are hydrophilic and are soluble in water because of their polar OH groups. They are not necessarily sugars nor are they necessarily sweet. They are also important components of DNA, RNA and ATP.
2. Lipids are more diverse in their chemistry. They generally have a polar region at one end (this end attracts water) and a large non polar hydrocarbon region that repels water. Lipids don't dissolve in water and instead clump together with their hydrocarbon regions on the interior. Lipids include oils, fatty acids, waxes, steroids and hormones.
Answer:
a. The allele for round seeds is dominant to the allele for wrinkled seeds.
Explanation:
Mendel found that when two pure breeding plants that differ from each other with respect to one genetic trait are crossed, all the progeny express the phenotype of one parent. The phenotype of the other parent is not expressed in the progeny. He concluded that the genetic trait that is expressed in the F1 generation is dominant over the other which is masked in this generation.
A cross between pure breeding plants for round seeds and the wrinkled seeds obtained all the round seeded progeny. This meant that the phenotype "round" was dominant over the phenotype "wrinkled". If the allele "R" gave round phenotype and the allele "r" imparted wrinkled phenotype, the allele "R" was dominant to the "r".
Answer:
A qualitative observation involves the use of five sensory organs, sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing, and their function to examine the attributes. Being subjective in nature, it focuses on the characteristics and qualities of the variables rather than the numerical value.

Answer:
Which data help hydrologists predict floods?
Impermeable land area
Snowpack
Explanation:
Impermeable land area
, Snowpack
The above factors are very essential to an hydrologist to predict floods though other factors such as topography, drainage among others are also inclusive to make the prediction rightly.
Answer:
9:3:3:1
Explanation:
This type of crossing that involves two characters is referred to as dihybrid crossing. Generally, when there is a dihybrid crossing for heterozygous genes for both parents, the phenotypic ratio is usually 9:3:3:1 as shown in the figure in the attached document below.
Assuming the colour is White (P) and Black (p) and the
Height is Tall (T) and short (t)
The possible phenotypes will be in the ration
9 - White and Tall
3 - White and short
3 - Black and Tall
1 - Black and short
It should be noted that phenotypic ratio (phenotype) describes the outward appearance (what can be see physically) and not the genetic make-up. Thus, where there is a dominant character like P or T, the recessive characters are not considered to have been expressed.
