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:
The correct option is A. Matter is conserved during the burning of wood
Explanation:
One of the major theories of matter states that the amount of mass at the start of a reaction is equal to the amount of the mass at the end of the reaction.
As in Joan's study, he shows that the amount of carbon atoms remain 840 during each of the combustion reactions. The number of carbon atoms in wood at the start of the reaction was equal to the number of carbon atoms in carbon dioxide at the end of the reaction. Hence, Joan's model supports the theory that matter is conserved during the burning of the wood.
Answer:The correlated trait exercise shows that when two characters are correlated, the optimal values and selection strengths rise and fall together.
Explanation: Correlation refers to statistical (linear) relationship between two random variables. When traits are correlated, change in one is associated with change in the other.
Correlation coefficient (c.c.) measures strength of association between two variables in the same individual or experiment. It can range from -1 to +1. C.c. can be positive, negative or weak.
1. A positive c.c. means that an increase in one variable is associated with an increase in the other variable.
2. A negative c.c. means that an increase in one variable is associated with a decrease in the other.
3. A c.c. near zero indicates a weak relationship between the variables.
Correlation can be represented by scatter plot as shown in the attached image.
