The three correct answers are;

B. forming waxy leaf coverings

D. storing energy in fat cells

E. forming cell membranes

Lipids are a large group of biological molecules that include phospholipids, fats, oils, waxes and some steroids. Almost all lipids are hydrophobic (i.e. insoluble in water). Lipids play many important different functions in a cell. Lipids are vital component of all cellular membranes. They store energy in the form of fats in the body. Waxy coverings on some leaves are composed of lipids. Lipids are also essential for heat insulation, cellular communication and protection.

"based on the information provided about the regulation of testosterone secretion, propose a testable hypothesis to explain how
Harrizon [31]

The trenbolone acetate caused frank's testicles to shrink<span> because the steroid is taking over the job of the testes so the testes don’t have to do as much work making them less muscular. Trenbolone acts in the same way that testosterone acts, but the esterified form of the hormone is approximately 3 times more potent than the naturally occurring hormone; that is, 3 times more testosterone is required to produce the same effects as a particular amount of trenbolone acetate. </span>Some of its trade names are Trenbol, ester derivative and synthetic steroid. Its chemical structure is similar to that of testosterone, the naturally occurring hormone that is produced by the testicles.

Drinking alcohol can cause dehydration, which makes the blood hypertonic. Which option best describes the consequences of this h
julsineya [31]

Answer:

Hypertonic blood draws water out of the interstitial fluid, which makes the interstitial fluid hypertonic. This, in turn, draws water out of the cells.

Basically an hype tonic blood has high solute potential,( low water potential)  compare with  the surrounding  plasma  and the interstitial fluid. Thus the interstitial fluid is hypotonic to the blood.

Consequently,water with higher potential moves   from the interstitial fluid medium into the blood by osmosis through the capillary endothelial. This raises the water potential of the blood, lowering the solute potential, thus making it hypotonic to the interstitial fluid; which is now hypertonic(lower water potential ,due to loss to the blood by osmosis).

Since the interstitial fluids is now hyper tonic to the surrounding cells, water moves from the hypo tonic surrounding cells through osmosis into the interstitial fluids. The sequence continues until a stable internal environment is achieved,

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

look in textbook - concept 29.6

Explanation:

Drought stress can also cause stomata to close. A hormone called abscisic acid (ABA) is produced in roots and leaves in response to water deficiency and signals guard cells to close stomata. This response reduces wilting but also restricts CO2 absorption, thereby slowing photosynthesis. ABA also directly inhibits photosynthesis. Water availability is so tied to plant productivity not because water is needed as a substrate in photosynthesis but because freely available water allows plants to keep stomata open and take up more CO2.

abscisic acid (ABA): A plant hormone that slows growth, often antagonizing the actions of growth hormones. Two of its many effects are to promote seed dormancy and facilitate drought tolerance.
