Before a race, Ruth drinks a beverage full of this biomolecule to get energy. <u>B. Carbohydrate </u>

Explanation: This biomolecule provides instant energy to our body. For example, glucose is consumed before race, as dissolves quickly in our blood and provides instant energy. Glucose is an example of simplest carbohydrate.

These molecules in olive oil will help Ruth’s body store long-term energy. <u>C. Fats </u>

Explanation: Fats are the kind of biomolecule which is stored in our body in the adipose tissues. Also, when glucose is all used up by our body cells, the body starts to get energy from this stored fat.

Elizabeth has been advised to go for genetic screening to detect any abnormalities in her unborn child. <u>A. Nucleic acids </u>

Explanation: Every cell of our body has DNA, and it contains all the genetic information about the whole body. DNA is a kind of nucleic acid. If Elizabeth is going for test of the abnormality, it means she is going to test for the DNA of her child.

. It has been observed that organisms on islands are different from, but closely related to, similar forms found on the nearest

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The right answer to this question is option A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

It's known in science that a long time ago, all the continents were only one, united all together in a bigger one. This can be observed by the way every continent can fit another one.

A proof of that too, is evolution, when we find organisms in an island that share some characteristics with organisms from another island, that can mean some things, they come from the same place, or these islands share characteristics that lead these organisms to be this way through evolution.

<h2>Savanna & tropical rainforest</h2>

Explanation:

Savanna is a grassland biome which is found South America .it is a type of natural biome which is changes during seasonal pattern for examples- elephants,cheetahs, wildebeest

It is here and there found in mild atmospheres, for the most part in zones that are transitional zones among grassland and forests.
Tropical rainforests are forests in the tropics that get more than 100 crawls of precipitation every year.
This unbelievable species extravagance is expected to a great extent to the blend of a tropical atmosphere and high, all year precipitation, which gives ideal developing conditions to the biggest number of plant species.
The warm, wet conditions in the tropical rainforest cause quick disintegration of any waste, and on the grounds that daylight and water are abundant, any supplements discharged into the dirt are quickly utilized by the quickly developing vegetation, leaving the dirt incredibly poor thinking about the high efficiency of the biome as long as the backwoods stays flawless, supplements will rapidly burn through the environment.
