Lipid is any form of a diverse group of organic compounds that are insoluble in water.
Lipid includes fats, oils, hormones, and various other components of membranes which are grouped together because they do not interact with water. Lipid is any form of a diverse group of organic compounds. One type of lipid, the triglycerides which is considered as fat in adipose cells, and it serve as the energy-storage depot for organisms and also provide thermal insulation.
Functions of lipid are are as follows:
1)Storing and providing energy.
2)Chemical messengers.
3)Cholesterol formation.
4)Regulating body temperature.
5)Formation of Prostaglandin and its role in inflammation.
6)Membrane lipid layer formation.

How are Mitosis and Binary Fission both similar and different
Both mitosis and binary fission are cell replication mechanisms that give as a result two genetically identical cells.
The main difference between them is that mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells and its main purpose is the growth of the organism or for regeneration of a tissue, while binary fission happens in prokaryotes organisms and it's the way unicellular organisms, such as bacteria, reproduce.
4) Examine each molecule below. Use the periodic table of the elements to find the name of each element. Then, identify each element present and the number of atoms for each.Molecule/Elements/Num. of Atoms NO2/Nitrogen & Oxygen /1 , 2 H2S/? / ? HCl /? /? NaCl /? / ? CaCO3/ ? /?
H2S/Hydrogen & Sulfur/ 2, 1
HCl/Hydrogen & Chlorine/ 1,1
NaCl/Sodium & Chlorine/ 1,1
CaCO3/ Calcium, Carbon & Oxygen/ 1,1,3
The molecular formulas as: H2S, HCl, etc. are indeed easy to read.
Just remember:
1. These formulas include the atomic symbols of each element that conforms the molecule. The atomic symbols are composed by one (e.g. H, S, C, O) or two (e.g. Na, Cl, Ca) latin letters and the first one will be always capitalized.
2. Following the atomic symbol could be a number which indicates the number of atoms of that element in the molecule. When no number appears after the symbol, it is assumed that there is only one atom of that element in the molecule.

Read the selection from the section "Geological Oceanography."
Resolution drills sediment-core samples and collects measurements from under the ocean floor. This research helps scientists understand our paleoclimate. Paleoclimatology is the study of weather and climate patterns over hundreds of millions of years. Changes in the seafloor reflect changes in Earth's climate, and this information is very useful in predicting our future climate.
What conclusion is BEST supported by this selection?
A
Seeing how the climate affected the seafloor in the past can help oceanographers understand what is happening now.
B
More sediment samples are needed to understand how the landscape of the seafloor has changed over millions of years.
C
The future changes that will occur in the Earth's weather climate patterns are all events that have happened before.
D
Paleoclimatology is unconcerned with the way the effects of weather and climate patterns on the ocean affect marine life.
The flowchart below shows the three generations of a cross between a pea plant that has yellow pods and a pea planthat has green pods. Green pods are the dominant trait. The flowchart is missing the labels that describe the traits.In which squares should the phrase "Green pods" appear?O A and D onlyOB and E onlyO A, C, and D onlyO A, B, C, D, and E
Since green pods are dominant we can conclude that the overall genotype for that trait is (G_) being the yellow pods the recessive genotype (gg). Knowing that the squares that should have the phrase "Green pods" are the anes that represent heterozygous (Gg) and homozygous dominant organisms (GG), being the A, C, and D only.
