Which food molecule (monosaccharide, polysaccharide, lipid, or protein) would you eat if...

Biology

<span>You needed a quick boost of energy - MONOSACCHARIDE

You wanted to grow strong nails, you haven't eaten in days - PROTEIN

You wanted to grow healthy hair - PROTEIN

You had a race tomorrow afternoon - POLYSACCHARIDE 

You were getting ready for hibernation - LIPIDS

You wanted to get bigger muscles - PROTEIN 

Your meal will be in a week - LIPIDS

CARBOHYDRATES include monosaccharide and polysaccharides. They provide immediate energy boost or short term energy storage for animals as well as long term energy storage for plants. 

PROTEIN s</span>peeds up chemical reactions by lowering activation energy. It is used to form bones and build muscles. It is m<span>ade up of an amino group, a carboxyl group, and an R group.

LIPIDS can be saturated or unsaturated fatty acids. They are not soluble in water however they provide long-term energy storage for animals. </span>

Which term best describes the temperature and weather conditions of an organism's environment
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

Abiotic factors can be described as the non-living components of an ecosystem. Biotic factors can be described as the living components of an ecosystem.

Abiotic factors include all the non- living components such as the weather, climate, temperature, soil, water of an area.

Biotic components include all the living organisms like the plants, animals, microorganisms of an ecosystem.

Hence, abiotic factors best describe the temperature and weather conditions of an organism's environment.

The cell membranes of Antarctic ice fish might have which of the following adaptations? a. a high percentage of unsaturated fatt
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:

- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.

- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.

Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>

In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.

Does carbon dioxide enter a plant when the guard cells swell or when they shrink?
ElenaW [278]

Answer: When cells swell up

Explanation: Plants need carbon dioxide and <u>stomata allow the plant to take in carbon dioxide to perform photosynthesis</u>. The "lips" are actually individual cells (called guard cells) <u>that can swell up to open the stomata</u> or deflate to close them off.
