Which molecule is less soluble in water--a fat or a phospholipid? Why?

A fat molecule is less soluble in water because it has three non-polar fatty acids and no polar or charged head like a phospholipid has.

Fat is less soluble in water compared to phospholipids.
This is because, fat is made up of three molecules of fatty acids which are not polar in nature at all, thus they mixed very poorly with water.
Phospholipids on the other hand has its molecules divided into two distinct regions, the head and the tail region. The head region is hydrophillic and it is polar in nature, that is, it mixes well with water. The tail region is made up of the fatty components  and it is hydrophobic.
Because of this difference in structure, phospholipid will dissolve better in water.

How does the digestive system interact with the rest of the body
Ainat [17]

Answer:

The Digestive System gets nutrients (good) from food and hands it over to the blood and Circulatory System then carries those nutrients where they need to go. It Filters out waste from food and pushes it through intestines and out the body.

Explanation:

As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body.

<em>A season of extra rain</em>

Explanation:

A prarie can be described as a habitat which is abundant in grasses. Although some type of shrubs and flowering plants can also be found on this land, grass can be seen abundantly in such ecosystems.

If a season with extra rain occurs in the prarie habitat, then there will be a production of more grass on this land. As a result, the rabbits will have more food to feed on. Hence, a season of extra rain will increase the carrying capacity for the rabbits.
