What excretory product are eliminated through the seed of groundnuts?
LatexM
Are lipids organic?
Yes, lipids are organic compounds.
Why is wax valuable to living things?
waxes are a type of lipid.... lipids consist of waxes, fats, and oils.. lipids store energy for our cells to use when they need it. sort of like using a bank. without lipids and carbohydrates, whe wouldn't have enough energy to exersise, and play sports.
What category of biological molecules are steriods included in?
lipids
What contains twice the energy of carbohydrates?
fats in lipids
What characteristic is in all lipids?
An important feature that all lipids have in common with one another is they are hydrophobic structures.
What do lipids repel?
Lipids are hydrophobic, which means they do not dissolve in water. Th characteristic is important because it always lipids to serve as bariers in biological membranes
What common characteristic do all lipids have?
none of them dissolves in water
What characteristics do all lipids have in common?
One characteristic of all lipids is that they are all hydrophobic.
What is a general characteristic of lipids?
-Make up boundary of cell so that watery contents are contained within cell.
What macromolecule is often made up of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
Lipids or fats are the class of macromolecules made up of fatty acids and glycerol. N, P, C, H, O are the elements that makes them. Lipids has a basic characteristic where it has a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail (fatty acid).
Which deficiency of lipids causes toad skin disease?
it is a characteristic manifestation of deficiency of ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (LINOLEIC & LINOLENIC ACIDS).
What is the major characteristic that distinguishes lipids from other macromolecules?
A lipid is a hydrophobic molecule, molecules in this group are fatty acids, waxes, and sterols. A carbohydrate is a hydrophillic molecule and moles cules in this group are sugars: monosaccharides and starches.
What is the role of KHSO4 in the acrolein test?
When lipids are heated in the presence of potassium bisulfate (KHSO4), a characteristic burned fat odor of acrolein is produced. :D
What nmacromolecule is not organized in repeating units of monomers?
That are the lipids. They have fatty acids and glucerols
A characteristic of plasma membranes that helps them fuse during vesicle formation and phagocytosis is the?
The capacity of lipids to associate and maintain a bilayer organization is a characteristic of plasma membranes that helps them fuse during vesicle formation and phagocytosis. The plasma membrane is also known as the cell membrane.
The fact that lipids move easily through cell membranes is due to?
their hydrophobic nature and the fluidity of cell membranes. Lipids have a non-polar "tail" region that is attracted to other non-polar molecules, including the hydrophobic interior of the cell membrane. This allows lipids to move easily through the cell membrane, making it an important characteristic for various cellular processes.
