B. 36, triglycerides
C. 38, adipose tissue
D. none of these is correct

C. 38, adipose tissue

Explanation:

Lipids/fats are one of the three energy storing biomolecules in living systems; the other two being carbohydrates and proteins. Three of them supply energy when oxidized but the amount of energy differs with lipids providing the most amount of energy.

Lipids provide 9 calories of energy per gram when oxidized, which is about 38Kj/g (where 4.2kJ = 1 calorie). Also, lipids or fats are stored throughout the body, specifically in connective tissues called ADIPOSE TISSUES.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

any abiotic or biotic factor in an ecosystem that causes a population's size to slow or decrease is a limiting factor.
