Answer:
1) Wax belong to lipids.
2) <u>Animals</u>: Water and cold isolation and protection from pathogenic microorganisms.
<u>Plants</u>: It controls evaporation and maintains hydration.
Explanation:
1) Wax belong to the biomolecules of lipids.
2) In animals, such as birds, the uropygial gland secrets sebum or wax, spreading it throughout the animal's feathers to prevent water from penetrating as it serves as an isolating compound for animals that live in cold areas. It also provides protection from bacteria and fungi. In coloquial terms, it would be like a water-proof coat that protects them from water and extreme climate.
In plants, the secretion of wax through the cuticle has been developed as an adaptation to control evaporation and maintain hydration.
Answer:
Penguins in general are distributed close to each other to be able to withstand the extreme cold, characteristic of the ecosystems they inhabit. They also group together to incubate their eggs.
They perform a series of coordinated movements that help them fight low temperatures, being careful to drop the egg.

Answer:
Plants and fungi share some similarities as well as some differences.
Some of the differences between plant and fungal cells are:
1) The cell wall of plants is made up of cellulose. The cell wall of fungal cells is made up of chitin.
2) The plant cells can make their own food and are autotrophic. Fungal cells are heterotrophic and take in their food for energy.
3) Organelles such as chloroplast are absent in fungal cells.
Answer:
<em>The process of </em><u><em>exocytosis </em></u><em>could be responsible for its secretion. </em>
Explanation:
Exocytosis can be described as a process in which molecules are transported out of a cell in vesicles. The process of exocytosis usually requires energy as molecules are moved out of a cell by the method of active transport.
As certain cells that line the stomach secrete a protein and release it into the stomach we can infer that the process is exocytosis. Peptides, hormones and various antibodies are also transported to different locations through the process of exocytosis.
