- Q: Explain How The Structure And Properties Of Triglycerides And Phospholipids Are Related To Their Functions In Living Organisms.
Triglycerides are a good source of energy as they have a high ratio of energy storing carbon-hydrogen bonds to carbon atoms. They are also an important source of metabolic water as the triglyceride molecules yield metabolic water on oxidation. This is...

Home work: Finish the analysis questions on pyramids of numbers and biomass. Pyramids of Numbers They often look like this: However, If the plant is large e.g. a tree, then the pyramid has a very thin base: In which case it is better to use a pyramid...

Ecology is the study of the ways in which organisms interact with their environment. Levels of ecological organisation A habitat is a type of environment in which an organism lives. For example, the habitat of a giraffe is grassland (savannah) with...

About 80% of the organism's body is H2O.Its molecule has a small negative charge (?-) on the O atom ...
- Photosynthesis And Cellular Respiration
Photosynthesis is the processes of converting carbon dioxide and water, using light energy, into glucose and oxygen. Plants, algae, and certain prokaryotes capture about 1% of the energy in the sunlight that reaches Earth and convert it to chemical energy...

ATP: Cells
This is a picture of the sun :) The sun is the greatest form of energy for living organisms on earth. The sun gives of heat energy which is a form of ATP. Plants convert this energy for photosynthesis, the light is used to produce food for itself. The heat of the sun is what allows plants to grow because they are able to create their own source of energy. The sun is also essential in giving its energy to water and the ocean. There are many sea critters that live in shallow waters that need the suns heat energy to live in warm waters.
