Answer:

Cortisone is a steroid drug which is used to reduce the inflammation or swelling because it inhibits the release of those substance that cause inflammation and it also reduces the immune response.  

The cells in the body have cell membrane which is made up of phospholipid. Membrane absorb those substance easily which are lipid-soluble. So as cortisone is steroid hormone which is lipid-soluble therefore it easily diffuses through the cell membranes and reaches the cells within the dermis.  

Therefore the lipid solubility of cortisone allows it to travel through the epidermis of skin.

Which term best describes the macromolecule shown below? А monosaccharide В polysaccharide С amino acid D nucleic acid​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

B. Polysaccharide

Explanation:

A polysaccharide is a carbohydrate molecule made up of several units of monomers called monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds. The monosaccharide is the simplest unit of a carbohydrate with the general formula, (CH2O)n.

However, the monosaccharides, which include glucose, fructose, galactose etc can link up by a bond to form a much larger carbohydrate molecule called POLYSACCHARIDE. As depicted in the image attached to this question, each ring is a monosaccharide, which becomes linked to one another to form a polymer called polysaccharide. Examples of polysaccharides are starch, glycogen, cellulose

Describe the importance of biomes such as forests, freshwater, and marine biomes? How have human actions affected these biomes?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Forest biome:  It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological  functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.

Freshwater biome:  We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.

Marine biome:  It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.

As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.
