C. Insulating the body
Insulating the body is not a function of a protein.
Lipids are macromolecules which provide insulation.
<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.

Answer:
D
Explanation:
D is an example of confirmation bias because confirmation bias involves people looking for information to support their opinions and beliefs, the person confirms their already existing biases and beliefs when they seek out information to support these biases and beliefs whilst ignoring contradicting information. The journalist is confirming his belief that climate is not real when he cites an article discussing how humans cannot be causing climate change and when he ignores several other articles that discuss how humans can cause climate change so as a result he is confirming his own bias and belief.
The population of frogs would exhibit competition due to the limited resources in the lake. Competition can be defined as the interaction among the species of organisms when resources are limited in an ecosystem. The type of competition observed in the above example of the lake with limited resources is called intraspecific competition as it is between the members of the same species competiting for the same resources. The species that do not compete will eventually die or get eliminated. This results in the change of population of frogs over time. Thus, competition is one among the forces that is responsible for natural selection.
