Hello i need help please Questions 1 and 2 (lipids)

Chemistry
1 answer:
dlinn [17]1 year ago
5 0

The question requires us to complete the sentences regarding characteristics and properties of lipids.

First, we need to keep in mind what are lipids: these essential molecules to cell's membranes are typically made of a glycerol backbone, fatty acid "tails" (the hydrofobic part) and and a phosphate group (a hydrophilic part). The term "lipids" is commonly used as a synonym for "fats", which it isn't completely wrong as they share many properties (for example, lipids don't mix with water).

As they are organic molecules, all lipids have carbon, oxygen and hydrogen in their structure, while some of them can contain other elements (such as phosphorus for the phospate group and nitrogen).

<em>Considering the information above, we can complete the sentences as:</em>

<em>1. "Lipids is a general term describing organic molecules that are </em>insoluble<em> in water".</em>

<em>2. "</em>All<em> lipids are made of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, while </em>some<em> lipids contain other elements..."</em>

Which element decreases its oxidation number in this reaction? bicl2 + na2so4 → 2nacl + biso4?
kifflom [539]
The balanced reaction is as follows;
BiCl₂ + Na₂SO₄ --> 2NaCl + BiSO₄
this is a double displacement reaction 
the oxidation number of Bi is +2 in both BiCl₂ and BiSO₄
oxidation number of Cl is -1 in both BiCl₂ and NaCl 
oxidation number of Na is +1 in both Na₂SO₄ and NaCl
oxidation numbers of elements in SO₄²⁻ remains the same in both compounds.Therefore the oxidation state in any of the elements in the reaction doesn't change. Neither of the elements show an increase or decrease in the oxidation numbers .
Answer for this question is no element decreases its oxidation number.

If eggs are so fragile, how do they actually protect the growing bird?​
Step2247 [10]

Although birds' eggs appear to be fragile, they are in fact extremely robust. The oval shape applies the same rules of engineering as an arched bridge; the convex surface can withstand considerable pressure without breaking.
