A teacher assigns the following experiment to a class. Draw an outline of a bird's feather, and color one half of the outline with a thick coat from a wax crayon. Leave the other half uncolored. Next, sprinkle a few drops of water on both halves of the feather. You will observe that the water soaks into the plain paper. The waxy coat, however, allows the paper to remain dry. Water forms tiny beads on top of the wax instead of soaking through it. The results of the experiment are MOST USEFUL for explaining which of these functions of lipids in organisms?

A. forming a waterproof covering on feathers, leaves, and fruits.
B. providing energy for the cell
C. allowing water to pass through the cell membrane
D. replacing water in dry environments

Every compound can be represented by a chemical formula. a chemical formula is the set of symbols showing the elements that make up a compound and their proportions. water’s chemical formula is h 2 2 o. that means a molecule of water contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen chemically bonded. a molecule is a group of two or more atoms bonded together. molecules can range in size from two to thousands of atoms. a molecule of a compound is the smallest unit of that compound. every molecule of water has all the physical and chemical properties of water. that’s because every molecule of water is made of the same elements in the same proportions: two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen! which of the following is a true statement? a every molecule of the same compound will have different properties. b every molecule of a compound has the same proportion of elements. c molecules can be physically separated into smaller units of a compound. d molecules cannot be represented by chemical formulae.
