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

Gomez found the masses of three rocks for science project .the first rock had a mess of 19.28 grams, the second rock had a mass
ziro4ka [17]
The combined mass of rock 1 and 2 = 19.28 + 25.3
= 44.58

Difference between rock 3 and combined rocks 
= 46.3 - 44.58
= 1.72 grams

therefore, the third rock was 1.72 grams greater than the combined mass of the other two rocks.

Describe the effect that sickle cell anemia has on the sedimentation rate (sample 3. why do you think that it has this effect?
Eva8 [605]
Sickle cell anemia is a genetic condition that distorts the shape of the hemoglobin. This reduces the capacity of the red blood cells to carry oxygen. Another effect is that the distorted red blood cells come together forming a heavy and compact collection of cells that can block the flow of blood. The sedimentation rate is increased by sickle cell anemia.
