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.

How much energy would the sun generate over its lifetime
Hitman42 [59]
We therefore can calculate that the total energy the sun has to burn is around 1.3 x 1044 Joules. Dividing 3.8 x 1026 Watts (the rate at which the sun is giving off energy) into this number gives an approximate value of 10 billion years for the sun's lifetime.

In what way is surface area more important for cells than volume?
Virty [35]

Answer:

As a cell grows in size, the surface area gets bigger, but the volume gets bigger faster. Thinking about this as a ratio (division), the volume is the denominator and the surface area is the numerator. If the volume is getting very big, then the ratio itself will be getting very small.

True or False? Please mark "True" if the entire statement is true or mark "False" if any part of the statement is false. You can
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

True. You can get vitamin A as "preformed vitamin A" which is already active and/or you can get vitamin A as carotenoids which the body can turn into active vitamin A.

Explanation:

There are two different types of vitamin A that can be obtained from food:

1.  Preformed vitamin A, which is already active, is found in animal products such as beef, fish, poultry and dairy products.

2. Provitamin A, which is the inactive form, is found in plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables. The most common type of provitamin A is β-carotene, which is a carotenoid that the body can turn into active vitamin A via an enzyme named β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase.
