Complete question:

Imagine a newly discovered biological molecule that is mostly hydrophobic in its structure. This new molecule will most likely be classified as a___________.

a. Proteins

b. Lipids

c. Nucleic acids

d. Carbohydrates

Answer:

b. Lipids

Explanation:

Lipids are the biomolecules that are mostly nonpolar in nature. Storage lipids such as fatty acids and oils have small or long chains of hydrocarbons. This makes them largely hydrophobic. Similarly, phospholipids have fatty acid chains that make their hydrophobic component. Steroids are also the lipids that have a distinct sterol nucleus in their structure. This makes then hydrophobic. Therefore, most of the lipids have structural components that make them largely hydrophobic molecules. So, the newly discovered molecule is most likely a lipid.

gove one example of how advances in science and technology have allowed the human population to increase rapidly
natima [27]
One example: The improvement in science and technology over the years has decreased the infant mortality rate. Since more babies live, we have a higher population. 

Also, with increases in science and technology, there are many diseases that were once considered fatal that are now easily treated. This has also led to a higher population.
