An unknown sample known to contain either triglycerides or phospholipids is placed in water. The sample forms a separate layer o

n top of the water, with no mixing in the bulk volume of water. What type of lipid does the sample contain, and what structural element is responsible for the sample’s behavior in water? a. Triglycerides, double bonds in fatty acid tails b. Triglycerides, ester linkages c. Triglycerides, long-chain hydrocarbon tails d. Phospholipids, ester linkages e. Phospholipids, glycerol backbone

Answer: Option C) Triglycerides, long-chain hydrocarbon tails

Explanation:

Triglycerides are lipids, with three fatty acids (the same or different) having long hydrocarbon tails.

The hydrocarbon tails in triglycerides is the structural element that makes it insoluble in water as seen in the sample forming a separate layer on top of the water because it does not form hydrogen bonds with water molecules i.e hydrophobic

Thus, option C is the answer

Which of the following happens to large molecules during digestion?
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

large intestine

Explanation:

Through digestion, large food particles are converted into smaller components that can be readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Sucrose binds to the active site on sucrase, and this puts stress on the bond between the 2 sugars that make up sucrose. The bond breaks, releasing glucose and fructose.

How many cells are produced at the end of meiosis?<br> A.1<br> B.2<br> C.4<br> D.6
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

C.4 is the answer

Explanation:

By the end of meiosis, the resulting reproductive cells, or gametes, each have 23 genetically unique chromosomes. The overall process of meiosis produces four daughter cells from one single parent cell. Each daughter cell is haploid because it has half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.-

In an experiment, three plants of the same species were grown in each of six identical pots. The heights of the plants were meas
Sonja [21]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. The data from the experiment shows that <u>as the percentage of salt in the solution used to water the plants increased, the growth rate of the plants decreased</u>. As the percentage increased from A to D, the change between the average initial and the final heights decreased, meaning that an increase in the percentage of the salt in the solution used to water the plants had a negative impact on the growth rates of the plants.

2. Due to the solutions used to water the plants in groups E and F being more concentrated (hypertonic) to that of the cell sap of the plant, <u>water molecules diffused out of the cell sap to the ambient solution</u>. As time goes by, the plants lose too much water, become wilted, and died off eventually. Instead of water molecules to keep diffusing into the plants in order for them to grow, the reverse was occurring and this led to their death.

Q6: A
Q7:D
Q8:C

Reasoning
Q6: Based on all the other questions talking about common ancestors I deduced that to find a “common” ancestor they need to find things that are the same.

Q7: All arthropod have a exo skeleton for example a lobster or crab. They all have a head, abdomen and thorax for example ants. They all have legs with joints for example a spider.

Q7:So bones are traveled down by ancestors so the types of bones stay the same but natural selection has changed them to better fit their environment.
