Which of the following are functions of a lipid?

A) Hold genetic information

B) Do most of the jobs in the cell

C) long term energy, insulation and cushion organs

D) short term energy and structure

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Some of the functions of lipids are to provide long term energy, insulation and cushion organs.

Explanation:

Lipids are biomolecules —predominantly formed by carbon and hydrogen— of great importance to the body, since they are the main component of cell membranes and form part of the structure of necessary organic substances, such as hormones.

Within the functions of lipids are found:

Being a reserve energy source, which can be used in the long term. Body lipids serve as thermal insulators, especially when they are found under the skin. The lipids can cushion the internal organs that they cover, protecting them from trauma by body movement or external trauma.

the other options are not correct because:

   A. The nucleic acids are the ones that store the genetic information.

    B. Lipids are an important component of the cell, but they do not do most of the cell's work.

    D. They are not a short-term energy source, like carbohydrates.

Why are photosynthesis and cellular respiration often considered opposites? Photosynthesis produces twice as many ATP molecules as cellular respiration does. Photosynthesis produces twice as many ATP molecules as cellular respiration does. Photosynthesis occurs during the day, and cellular respiration occurs at night Photosynthesis occurs during the day, and cellular respiration occurs at night Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration Water is released during photosynthesis and consumed during cellular respiration.

Answers

Answer:

Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration

Explanation:

Photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two metabolic activities that are considered opposite of one another. This is because the reactants of one serves as the products of the other and vice versa.

- Photosynthesis is the process that occurs in green plants which utilizes CO2 and water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen as products.

- Cellular respiration, on the other hand, occurs in every living cell and uses glucose and oxygen to produce CO2 and water.

Hence, based on the options provided in this question, both processes are opposite of one another because Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis and used during cellular respiration.

Discuss how what you have learned about the respiratory system has caused you to see the environment around you differently. Are there specific activities or environments that you are more likely to avoid now? Explain why (or why not) your thinking about these activities or environments has changed.

Answers

Answer:

The respiratory system is directly connected to the external environment. More specifically, the gaseous environment around me can automatically find its way into the internal environment inside me.

The human respiratory system takes in air from the external environment. The purer the air is, the purer the content of its intake.  

The system which keeps the lungs clean is found in the trachea which is lined with cells containing hair-like protrusions called cilia and also produces mucus and water droplets. The mucus and the cilia's activities combine to keep air passages hydrated and work together to trap dust, bacteria, and other foreign substances. An example of a foreign substance is heavy smoke from a building on fire. Other examples are cigarette smoke, heavy atmospheric dust such as is found in deserts. When these substances are inhaled, they can temporarily impede the efficiency of the cilia.

So it is important for one to avoid environments whose air is contaminated.

Because a contaminated environment translates to an impeded functioning of the respiratory system and a reduction in the quality of oxygen that reaches the bloodstream.

Hydrogen bonds in water molecules are formed between:

A. ions in solution between the molecules.
B. nuclei of adjacent molecules.
C. hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent molecules.
D two hydrogen atoms of the same molecule.
E. two oxygen atoms of the same molecule.

Answers

C. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent molecules

Hydrogen bonds in water molecules are formed between hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent molecules. Hence, option c is the correct answer for the statement.

 

What are different types of bonds?

There are various types of bonds, such as covalent bonds, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, etc. In covalent bonds, valence electrons are shared; hence, this bond is called a covalent bond. It is one of the strongest bonds. In ionic bonds, two ions, such as an anion and a cation, form a bond. An example is sodium chloride.

The hydrogen bond is not a covalent bond; it is made between oxygen and hydrogen, hydrogen and fluoride, etc. Inside water, each molecule is connected to another by hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) of one water molecule make hydrogen bonds with hydrogen and oxygen of another water molecule. Inside a single water molecule, covalent bonds are present between hydrogen and oxygen.

     

Hence, a hydrogen bond is present between the hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules. Option C is the correct answer .

Of the forms of friction listed above, which would a cyclist experience during this type of race?
1 & ll only
I, II, V
All of the above

Answers

Answer:

B. I, II, IV

(the option should be "IV" not "V")

Explanation:

Of the forms of friction listed, a cyclist experience "rolling friction, sliding friction and air resistance" during this type of race.

The rolling friction is known to be the type of friction that when a body rolls on a surface. In this type of friction, there is a force that tends to resist the motion. As the cyclist ride their bicycles, rolling friction occurs between the tyre of the bicycles and the surface of the road.

Sliding friction also occurs during this type of race. It's a contact that actually resists the sliding motion that occurs between two objects - an object and a surface.

Air resistance is the type of friction that occurs when objects move through air. It's a friction between air and an object. In this type of race, air resistance is experienced as the cyclists experience resistance from the air when the ride.
