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.
The correct answer is: The nuclear envelope is continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum
The nuclear envelope or nuclear membrane is composed of two phospholipid bilayers (outer and inner) that surround the nucleus in the eukaryotic cell. The space between the outer and inner membranes is called the perinuclear space. The nuclear envelop has nuclear pores that are responsible for the transport between nucleus and cytoplasm (e.g. transport of mRNA).
Stellar evolution is the process by which a star undergoes a sequence of radical changes during its lifetime. Depending on the mass of the star, this lifetime ranges from only a few million years (for the most massive) to trillions of years (for the less massive), considerably more than the age of the universe. ^
Small, relatively cold, low mass red dwarfs burn hydrogen slowly and will burn for hundreds of billions of years
Massive hot supergiants will live for just a few million years.
A mid-sized star like the Sun will remain on the main sequence for about 10 billion years. Hope tis helps!!
