The answer is reflex action. Impulse that triggers a reflex action does not pass through the brain so as to shorten the time for response. It passes through a reflex arch and this is why the muscles are contracted even without time to think of what happened. The sensory and motor neurons only arch at the spinal cord.

stepan [7]

Answer:

1. Lipids

2. Carbohydrate

3. Lipids

4. Carbohydrate

5. Lipids

6. Lipids

7. Carbohydrate

Explanation:

Lipids and carbohydrates are two of the four major biological molecules (the other two being proteins and nucleic acids). They (lipids and carbohydrates) are both long chains composed of elements: carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O).

Lipids called triglycerides are majorly made up of building block fatty acids (long hydrocarbon chains with carboxylic acid) and glycerol ( an hydrocarbon made up of three hydroxyll groups).

Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are made up of long chains of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen with aldehyde or ketone functional group. They are composed of monosaccharide building blocks (also called simple sugars) with general formula CH20(n).

Based on the structural composition of lipids and carbohydrates, structures 1,3,5 and 6 are lipids while 2, 4 and 7 are carbohydrates.

Sexual reproduction produces genetically different offsprings which do possess variations, hence better chance to survive in the environment.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sexual reproduction is the process of reproduction where there's a fusion of gametes from a male and female of the same species, resulting in a zygote and eventually an offspring. Sexual reproduction is very advanced type of reproduction which is very expensive for an organism. Much of the energy of the organism is spent to produce gametes and other necessary processes for reproduction.

Gametes of the sexual reproduction is produced mainly by means of meiotic cell division. This involves crossing over and chaismata formation which helps in genetic variations in the offspring. These variations help the species to survive unknown changes in environment, and helps to adapt quickly lessening the chances of extinction. So sexual reproduction has modified various times in different groups of species.
