Lipids are large, nonpolar organic molecules. They do not dissolve in water. Lipids include triglycerides (trie-GLIS-uhr-IEDZ), phospho- lipids, steroids, waxes, and pigments. Lipid molecules have a higher ratio of carbon and hydrogen atoms to oxygen atoms than carbohydrates have. Because lipid molecules have larger numbers of carbon-hydrogen bonds per gram than other organic com- pounds do, they store more energy per gram. Fatty Acids Fatty acids are unbranched carbon chains that make up most lipids. Figure 3-10 shows that a fatty acid contains a long carbon chain (from 12 to 28 carbons) with a carboxyl group, âCOOH, attached at one end. The two ends of the fatty-acid molecule have different properties. The carboxyl end is polar and is thus hydrophilic or attracted to water molecules. In contrast, the hydro- carbon end of the fatty-acid molecule is nonpolar. This end tends not to interact with water molecules and is said to be hydrophobic (HIE-droh-FOH-bik), or âwater fearing.â In saturated fatty acids, such as palmitic acid, which is shown in Figure 3-10, each carbon atom is covalently bonded to four atoms. The carbon atoms are in effect full, or saturated. In contrast, linoleic acid, also shown in Figure 3-10, has carbon atoms that are not bonded to the maximum number of atoms to which they can bond. Instead, they have formed double bonds within the carbon chain. This type of fatty acid is said to be unsaturated. Triglycerides Three classes of lipids important to living things contain fatty acids: triglycerides (fats), phospholipids, and waxes. A triglyceride is composed of three molecules of fatty acid joined to one molecule of the alcohol glycerol. Saturated triglycerides are composed of saturated fatty acids. They typically have high melting points and tend to be hard at room temperature. Common dietary saturated triglycerides include butter and fats in red meat. In contrast, unsaturated triglycerides are composed of unsaturated fatty acids and are usually soft or liquid at room temperature. Unsaturated triglycerides are found primarily in plant seeds where they serve as an energy and carbon source for germinating plants. Phospholipids Phospholipids have two, rather than three, fatty acids attached to a molecule of glycerol. They have a phosphate group attached to the third carbon of the glycerol. As shown in Figure 3-11, the cell membrane is made of two layers of phospholipids, called the lipid bilayer. The inability of lipids to dissolve in water allows the mem- brane to form a barrier between the inside and outside of the cell. Hydrophilic âheadâ Phospholipids Hydrophobic âtailâ Phospholipids Water Water The lipid bilayer of a cell membrane is a double row of phospholipids.The âtailsâ face each other.The âheadâ of a phospholipid, which contains a phosphate group, is polar and hydrophilic.The two tails are two fatty acids and are nonpolar and hydrophobic.

Applying Information Before a long race, run- ners often âcarbo load.â This means that they eat substantial quantities of carbohydrates. How might this help their performance? 9. Recognizing Relationships High temperatures can weaken bonds within a protein molecule. How might this explain the effects of using a hot curling iron or rollers in oneâs hair? 10. Applying Information You want to eat more unsaturated than saturated fats. Name examples of foods you would eat more of and less of. SECTION 2 REVIEW Waxes A wax is a type of structural lipid consisting of a long fatty-acid chain joined to a long alcohol chain. Waxes are waterproof, and in plants, form a protective coating on the outer surfaces. Waxes also form protective layers in animals. For example, earwax helps pre- vent microorganisms from entering the ear canal. Steroids Unlike most other lipids, which are composed of fatty acids, steroid molecules are composed of four fused carbon rings with various functional groups attached to them. Many animal hor- mones, such as the male hormone testosterone, are steroid com- pounds. One of the most familiar steroids in humans is cholesterol. Cholesterol is needed by the body for nerve and other cells to func- tion normally. It is also a component of the cell membrane. NUCLEIC ACIDS Nucleic acids are very large and complex organic molecules that store and transfer important information in the cell. There are two major types of nucleic acids: deoxyribonucleic acid and ribonucleic acid. Deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, contains information that deter- mines the characteristics of an organism and directs its cell activi- ties. Ribonucleic (RIE-boh-noo-KLEE-ik) acid, or RNA, stores and transfers information from DNA that is essential for the manufactur- ing of proteins. Some RNA molecules can also act as enzymes. Both DNA and RNA are polymers, composed of thousands of linked monomers called nucleotides (NOO-klee-uh-TIEDS). As shown in Figure 3- 12, each nucleotide is made of three main components: a phosphate group, a five-carbon sugar, and a ring-shaped nitrogenous base.

Marine and Coastal Processes.What are the hazards that usually occur along marine and coastal areas? Coastal processes, such as waves, tides, sea level changes, crustal movement, and storm surges will result to coastal erosion, submersion, and saltwater intrusion. Coastal Erosion. Coastal erosion is the wearing down of the coastlines by the movement of wind and water. It is not a constant process; instead, the rate of erosion depends on other events such as cyclones. When cyclones occur along coastal areas, the winds and waves carry the sediment away from the shoreline. Shorelines play an important role to society. They are used in transportation, fishing, and tourism. Therefore, preventing coastal erosion is of utmost priority. There are three main classifications of stabilizing the shoreline: hard stabilization, soft stabilization, and retreat. 1. Hard stabilization is done by building structures that will slow down the erosion on areas that are prone to erosion. Examples of hard stabilization structures are jetties, sea walls, and breakwaters. Though they may slow down the erosion in one area, it may hasten the erosion in other areas. 2. Soft stabilization includes the process of beach nourishment, wherein sand from an offshore location is brought to an area with a receding shoreline. It does not make use of structures like the ones used in hard stabilization. 3. Retreat is the option taken by residents near areas where coastal erosion is already severe. At this point, the authorities no longer attempt to save the shoreline but rather limit the amount of human interference in the area. Submersion. Coastal erosion happens because of the interaction of the winds and waves on the shoreline. Submersion, on the other hand, happens because of the changes in the sea level, specifically, when it rises dangerously above the normal level. This is all due to the increase in the global temperature, which, in turn, melts the glacial deposits and increases the overall sea level. Another factor that may cause submersion is the vertical movement of the plates. Landmasses can be uplifted, which can also cause changes in the sea level. It can also be caused by tsunamis and storm surges. Submersion will most likely occur in reclaimed lands. These are the areas that were originally part of oceans, riverbeds, or lakebeds. They are low-lying flatlands, so even a small rise in sea level can cause great damage on the land. To prevent this from happening not only in reclaimed lands but also in coastal areas, a hard stabilization technique is used. Sea walls are built along the coastline to protect the land from being easily flooded. Aside from sea walls, dikes can also help prevent flooding. The government can also upgrade the infrastructures built in coastal areas, regenerate mangroves, or relocate the people. There are also other proposed strategies to mitigate coastal submersion, such as imposing of setback policies and construction regulations and creating adaptive plans for coastal management. Saltwater Intrusion. In coastal areas where there is an interaction between saltwater and fresh water, saltwater intrusion is one of the hazards that are evident in that area. Saltwater intrusion is the movement of saltwater into the freshwater aquifer. The natural flow is that the fresh water, which is less dense, moves towards the denser saltwater. But if the fresh water is being withdrawn faster than it is being replenished, then there will be a change in pressure and saltwater intrusion will occur.There are a few ways of preventing saltwater intrusion. One is to stop using the well where fresh water has been depleted and let the groundwater replenish naturally via the water cycle. The other method is to build two wells: a pumping well-built farther inland and an injection well-built closer to the coast. Using the injection well, fresh water is pumped into the aquifer to prevent the saltwater from intruding. The different marine and coastal hazards often occur in the Philippines, being an archipelago with the longest coastline. Manila Bay is one of the coastal areas of the Philippines that is facing various threats from both natural and anthropological causes. Saltwater intrusion occurs due to uncontrolled withdrawal of groundwater to be used by residential, commercial, and industrial areas built around the bay. It is also frequently flooded due to poor drainage systems and improper disposal of waste. Since Manila Bay is shared by four coastal provinces, four noncoastal provinces, and the National Capital Region, each local government unit and national agencies need to collaborate in planning, developing, and managing its marine and coastal resources. And it is not only Manila Bay but other parts as well, for as long as they are in coastal areas, hazards will mostly likely occur if not immediately addressed.

Hey, Dr. Binocs! Hey there. Hello, Dr. Binocs. Hello. Oh, hello! Friends, did you spot any kinda difference between these two? I'll give you 10 points if you do! No? Well, don't worry. I'll tell you how they are different from each other. But for that I need to tell you all about the Animal Kingdom! Come with me! Zoom in! The Animal Kingdom is divided into two groups. Invertebrates and Vertebrates. And today, we will talk about the invertebrates. Animals without a backbone are called Invertebrates. Which are further classified into.. Worms! Sea Jellies! Mollusks! Anthropods! And Sponges! Now, let us explore a little into their worlds! Worms! They have long, soft bodies with no legs. Oh, and two body openings. You've seen earthworms, right? If you haven't, rush to your nearest garden! Sea Jellies! Jellyfish is a good example here. They have soft and long stinging bodies. Stinging because they use their stingers to stun their prey.. ..before pulling them into their stomach. Mollusks! They have soft and warm bodies. Many of them have hard shells, like the snail. Other examples are Octopus and Squid. Anthropods! These animals form the largest group of the Invertebrates. They have their skeleton on the outside of their bodies. Creepy crawlies such as cockroaches, spiders are anthropods. Sponges! They generally live in saltwater and don't move from place to place. They filter nutrients and tiny organisms out of water, for food. TRIVIA TIME! The Invertebrates will eat almost anything that was or is alive. 97% of all animal species are invertebrates. Well, that keeps a very tiny space for the vertebrates. So do one thing, check this video out, to know more about them! So this is me zoooming out! Tune in next time, for more fun facts.
Orchard / fruit trees Importance of fruit trees ⢠Fruit trees are important for the following uses: ďźThey are a source of food, they produce fruits ďźSome are used for making medicines ďźOthers provide shade and can also act as wind breakers. ďźThose with beautiful flowers are very decorative. ďźThey contain vitamins which means they have nutritional value. Classification of fruit trees ⢠Fruit trees are classified as indigenous and exotic. Indigenous fruit trees ⢠are those that natural grow in a country. ⢠They take longer to grow. ⢠Examples of indigenous fruit trees are: English name Shona Name Snot apple Water berry Red ivory Fig Monkey orange Wild custard apple Mobola fruit Exotic fruit trees ⢠These are trees that were brought from other countries. ⢠They are commercially grown in orchards. ⢠Common exotic fruit trees include: ⢠Exotic fruit trees grow faster than indigenous. Ornamental horticulture ⢠It deals with the growing of decorative plants. ⢠Decorative plants are collectively called ornamental plants. ⢠They include trees, shrubs, flowers and lawn grasses. Importance of ornamental plants ďźThey beautify the environment. ďźFlowers often produce a pleasing fragrance. ďźFlowers attract insects like bees that are responsible for pollination. ďźPlants produce oxygen that we need for breathing. ⢠Some are used for making medicines. ⢠Lawn grasses prevent soil erosion. ⢠Plants provide shelter for birds and insects. Classification of ornamental plants ⢠There are four classes of ornamental plants. ďźTrees ďźShrubs ďźFlowers ďźLawn Trees: ⢠Ornamental trees are very useful as decorative plants. ⢠This is because most of these trees produce beautiful flowers and some are ever green. ⢠Examples of decorative trees include flamboyant, jacaranda, pines, Cyprus. Shrubs: ⢠A shrub is a woody plant with many branches but smaller than a tree. ⢠Some of them are ornamentals because they produce beautiful flowers. ⢠Others can be cut into decorative shapes. ⢠The golden duranta is good example because it can be cut into nice shapes. ⢠The bougainvillea is another example of a decorative plant because: ďźIt can act as a climbing plant. ďźIt produces decorative flowers. ďźIt can also be cut into any shape using a hedge shear. Flowers: ⢠Flowers have the following functions: ďźThey are used for decorations at weddings, hotels and parties. ďźThey are used as an expression of love and appreciation such as valentineâs day and get well soon messages. ďźThey are useful in bee farming called apiculture as they are a source of nectar used for making honey. ďźFlowers produce a pleasant fragrance used in the production of soaps and scents for perfumes, deodorant and lotions. Lawn: ⢠A lawn is an area of grass that is kept cut short and is usually part of someone's garden or backyard, or part of a park. ⢠Some lawn grasses grown in Zimbabwe are Durban, kikuyu, couch and buffalo lawn. ⢠They prevent soil erosion. ⢠They also provide a comfortable outdoor resting place. Forestry Importance of trees ⢠Trees are important to us and animals. ⢠The Forestry Commission is responsible for taking care of trees in Zimbabwe. ⢠Trees are also important to the environment because: ďźThey are a source of fuel in the form of firewood. ďźThey are used for making most of the furniture we use. ďźMost medicines come from both exotic and indigenous trees, for example pine trees and gum trees are used for making cough medicines. ďźTrees provide browsing animals like the kudu and giraffe with food. ďźFruits from both exotic and indigenous fruit trees are a rich source of vitamins ďźTrees give out oxygen which we need for breathing. ďźTrees provide timber that can be used for roofing. ⢠Trees are grouped according to where they come from. ⢠The groups are indigenous and exotic. 1 . Indigenous trees : ⢠These are local trees that have always been grown in their country. Shona name English name Mutohwe Snot apple Mususu Yellow wood Mubvamaropa Blood wood Muuyu Baobab Muonde Fig tree Musasa msasa Characteristics of indigenous trees ď§ take longer to mature ď§ Do not produce straight poles ď§ Grow on their own ď§ Hard wood 2 .Exotic trees : ⢠These are trees that have been brought from another country to be grown in Zimbabwe.

(b) Diseases ⢠Plant diseases are caused by living organisms called pathogens. ⢠These pathogens infest the plant and take away nutrients. ⢠Fruit rot and bacteria spot are some of the examples of plant diseases. (c) Weeds ⢠these are plant which grow where they are not wanted. ⢠For example if black jack grows in a groundnut field, it is a weed. ⢠Weeds compete for nutrients with cultivated plants. (d) Very high temperatures ⢠High temperatures may cause crops to wither. ⢠High temperatures may also lead to lightning and fires. ⢠This can burn up crops. ( e) Frost ⢠Frost damages crops in winter. ⢠Tomatoes, potatoes, and beans are easily damaged by frost. (f) Drought ⢠drought is when there is no rainfall in a season where it supposed to be raining. ⢠It is one of the most serious forms of crop damage. ⢠Plants wither and die if there is no rainfall. ( g) Animals ⢠Wild animals like baboons often eat maize crops before they mature. ⢠Birds also are a problem to crops like sorghum. Signs of plant damage ⢠There are various signs that show plant damage. ⢠Some can be corrected but some lead to total loss. ⢠Some signs of plant damage include: ďźLodged plants ďźFlowers and small fruits blown to the ground ďźDull leaf color ďźWilted plants ďźStunted growth
