THe phosphate portion is soluble in water [hydrophobic] forms the ''head'' of the molecule, while the fatty acids portion is insoluble in water [hydrophobic] and forms a ''tail''.

I need two examples of things that apply to both relative and absolute dating
matrenka [14]
Relative dating concerns the dating of fossils by using stratum (layers in the rock) to find the estimated age.

Absolute dating is finding the age of a fossil by using radiometric methods, such as fluorine dating or half-life dating; which is more accurate than relative dating.

If a new study shows a connection between eating avocados and a lowered risk of disease, what do you think will happen?
salantis [7]

Answer:

Demand for avocados would increase, causing prices to increase.

Explanation:

If avocados are proven to lower the risk of diseases, more people would want to buy them, meaning demand would increase.

When demand increases, people would be willing to pay more for that item, meaning price would increase.

Therefore, the answer is the second option: demand for avocados would increase, causing prices to increase.
