Answer: ionotropic; metabotropic
Explanation:
A receptor can directly open the channel and exerts an ionotropic effect. The ionotropic effect takes place by the help of ionotropic receptors. These receptors are membrane bound receptor proteins which responds by the bonding of the ligand.
Due to ligand binding the channel opens and allows the movement of ions into the cells which helps in either increasing or decreasing the action potential.
The receptors can also bind to the ligand and produce metabotropic effect which means by the second messenger.
Answer: Single covalent bond in the long hydrocarbon chain.
Saturated fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbon ( with single covalent bond) ending with the carboxylic group (-COOH). This means those fatty acids which possess only single bonds in their chemical structure are called as saturated fatty acids. They are densely packed, which makes them solid at room temperature.
Example- Lauric acid ( present in coconut oil). It has 12 carbon atoms in its chemical structure.
No they cannot. Lol lol lol
