Answer:

The correct answer would be - lipids.

Explanation:

Many aquatic birds secrete a waxy organic substance which coats their feathers and this substance allows their feathers to repel the water which is helpful for their flying even after floating in the water.

An analysis of these substances would tell that these substances are composed of lipids as lipids are the only macromolecules that are hydrophobic which means they try to avoid water and not allow water to pass through them.

Salamanders, ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers all live in aquatic habitats. Salamanders lay their eggs in small freshwater
AveGali [126]

Answer:

A. Salamanders

Explanation:

Specialists species are species that can thrive in a unique and limited range of resources. They require a specific environmental condition to reproduce and survive in  environment and also have limited or few diets they need for nutrition. These limiting characteristics put them at a disadvantage of being endangered and threatened.  

Salamanders are endangered species that are fast going into extinction. They require wetland (freshwater pools) for reproduction to be possible, and feed mainly on insects. This makes them specialist species.

Ospreys, snapping turtles, and beavers are all generalist species. They can all thrive in a wide range of environmental conditions, and also have varieties of diets they can get nutrition from to survive.

Which best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication??
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

<em><u>The right answer is "D".Transcription uses uracil.</u></em>

Explanation:

The genes carried by the DNA will be encoded in another form: messenger RNA, during a process called "transcription".

The DNA and RNA molecules are chemically very close, but the second has an extra oxygen (in red on the right of the letters) on the sugars (riboses) that make up its nucleotides (the DNA actually contains deoxyribose). In addition, the thymine (T) of DNA is replaced by uracil (U) in RNA.

Hope this help

Have a nice day!!
