Answer:

Partial hydrogenation

Explanation:

Vegetable oils naturally contain cis fatty acids. These fatty acids have double bonds and the two H atoms are on the same side of bond, producing a kink in  the structure.

Cis fatty acids are converted into trans fatty acids by the process of partial hydrogenation or vegetable shortening. Hydrogen is added to convert some of the double bonds into single bonds but all double bonds are not removed. However, the cis double bonds end up getting converted to trans double bonds. H atoms are now on the opposite sides of the double bond. This arrangement makes the kink disappear from the structure hence trans fat is structurally similar to saturated animal fat. It increases the longevity of fats and makes it solid at room temperature but also has many side effects like increasing bad LDL cholesterol in blood.

What might happen to the Earth if human increase the amount of greenhouse gasses?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Global warming will occur

Explanation:

Greenhouse gases are special gaseous compounds that have this ability to trap HEAT due to their structural composition. They include; carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons (CFC), methane (CH4) etc.

Anthropogenic activities such as burning of fossil fuels etc. release these gases into the atmosphere where they cause harm to the Earth. Greenhouse gases contribute immensely to the GLOBAL WARMING EFFECT, which is the increase in the temperature of the Earth surface. Therefore, if humans increase the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere via their actions, there will be a GLOBAL WARMING occurrence.

What is the relationship between water temperature and the brine shrimp and brine flies in the Mono Lake ecosystem?
UNO [17]

Answer:

brine flies prefer warm temperatures to breed in, more brine flies means more food for the brine shrimp, so brine shrimp will be able to breed more as there's more food. and vice versa- in colder temperatures there would be less breeding of the flies, meaning less food for shrimps. therefore less breeding of shrimps)
