<span>This is a great question and I would love to hear what a roller coaster designer / engineer thinks makes a successful roller coaster. Until they show up, though, you've just got me.For me a successful roller coaster is one that fills me with dread as it makes the slow climb up the track, and then converts that dread into pure adrenaline as it takes me down and around. It's the one that makes your stomach drop as you're in freefall and makes your heart skip a beat as you take a corkscrew loop. Some roller coasters are open at the bottom so your legs dangle off. Some go backwards through a corkscrew. Those are fun additions.What I'm saying is that a good roller coaster is one that floods you with emotions as you're riding it - think about the Mummy ride at Universal Studios. It's not a particularly crazy coaster as far as thrill rides go, but the design of the ride itself is meant to fill you with anxious dread as you wait for something to happen and then launches you at breakneck speed when you least expect it. That's a good roller coaster, and I'm not even sure you'd actually call it a roller coaster.Well that's me ^.^ I hope this helps</span>
Answer:
c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids
Explanation:
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:
- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.
- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.
Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>
In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.
