Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Galapagos island had large population of tortoise there before humans intervented there. Due to human beings, goats also came there.

Then Goats started to take over the place by competing for the resources.Tortoise and goats feed on the same type of vegetation. So the introduction of Goats in the area where tortoise are already present will hamper the population of tortoise.

Hence, the correct answer is option C

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>
