Why is palmitic acid called a saturated fatty acid?

Biology
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]3 years ago
6 0
Palmitic acid is considered a saturated fatty acid since it has no double bond in its structure and is solid at room temperature. It is a long-chain fatty acid with 16-Carbon backbone. It is typically found in fats and waxes such as olive oil and palm oil.

On which part of the body does long-term use of stimulants (e.g., nicotine, cocaine, and methamphetamine) have the most signific
Y_Kistochka [10]
Stimulants are substances that all result in the increase of levels of dopamine in the brain, which is a neurotransmitter that affects attention and pleasure. What this means is that stimulants affect our brain and the way it works by changing the ways that nerve cells communicate.

Neurons (nerve cells) are the cells that have a role in transmitting messages from the brain to other parts of our body, and vice-versa, which is important for pain response, alertness, energy etc.

With long-term use, the use of stimulants would affect the central nervous system (speeding it up), the brain, and the functions necessary to live, like respiration, heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature. Levels of neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and GABA, which are responsible for the regulation of different processes,  are also impacted, which creates a chemical disbalance ultimately resulting in behavioral changes, mood swings, altered attention, movement and energy, stress etc.

So the part of the body that is affected the most with the long-term use of stimulants like cocaine, nicotine, methamphetamine is the brain of course, which is where these substances have the most impact, but the impact on the central nervous system, autonomous nervous system, and neurotransmitter levels is significant.

Explain what, if any, is the issue facing DNA polymerase in regards to its 5’-&gt;3’ activity when replicating DNA.
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

The two strands of DNA are replicated in different ways

Explanation:

DNA replication is a process that occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle that consists of making two identical copies of the double-stranded DNA molecule, which subsequently are distributed in the daughter cells during cell division. During this process, DNA polymerase can add nucleotides in 5' to 3' direction, but not in 3' to 5' direction. In consequence, the DNA strand that has 3’ to 5’ directionality can be synthesized directly, while the DNA template strand that has 5’ to 3’ directionality can't be synthesized in a continuous manner and thereby it is created by adding small DNA fragments, which are known as Okazaki fragments (150-200 nucleotides in size).

C. How many grams of NaOH (sodium hydroxide) are necessary to make 100
azamat

18 g

Explanation:

Remember that 1g is equivalent to 1 ml;

1g = 1 mL

100 g = 100 mL

Therefore in an 18% NaOH solution,  for every 100 mL, there is 18 g of dissolved NaOH. This is how we derive the percentage solution;

18 g / 100 g = 18%
