Biology
2 answers:
Andre45 [30]3 years ago
6 0

To point out a chemical characteristic (probably more important):

Fats are composed mainly by saturated fatty acids, while oils are composed mainly by unsaturated fatty acids.

To point out a physical characteristic (not that important):

Oils adopt a liquid form at room temperature while fats adopt a solid form ar room temperature.

Notes:

Saturated fats are those with high amounts of fatty acids in proportion. In other words, high proportions of fatty acids for every unit of fat.

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids (with a carboxylic group in it) that contain a hydrocarbon chain.

Hope it helped,

tia_tia [17]

Answer:

G-protein-linked receptor

Explanation:

Epinephrine acts via G-protein-linked receptors. The heterotrimeric G proteins located within the cell are activated by G protein-coupled receptors that span the cell membrane. Signaling molecules bind to a domain on the GPCR located outside the cell, and an intracellular GPCR domain then in turn activates a particular G protein.

A sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar. Which of the foll
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: C. The C horizon is very deep.

Horizons are the layers of soil develops as a result of soil formation. Horizon lies parallel to the earth surface. Each horizon differs from the other on the basis of amount or organic matter present, color of the soil, texture of soil and other components making up horizon, and amount and type of minerals present in the soil.

C horizon is the horizon that lies deeper region of the collective soil horizon. It consist of unweathered or partially weathered rocks or their aggregates. Therefore, it retains the original chemical composition of the parent rock. This results in the higher mineral content as compared to other horizons. This horizon also lacks the organic matter as no or very little decomposition activity of plant and animal matter takes place. Therefore, color of soil in this horizon in the absence of organic matter remains light.

Hence, a sample of soil from a C horizon is light brown in color and has a high content of a mineral called feldspar is because of the fact that the C horizon is very deep.
