Why are fatty acids more saturated in warm temperatures while they are unsaturated in cold temperatures?

Biology
1 answer:
Readme [11.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The increment of temperatures favors the oxidation of fatty acids promoting the saturation of them.

Explanation:

When the fatty acids are in an environment of high temperatures they start oxidizing so unsaturations start to spontaneously happen. This process happens in cell membranes as well as in the foods. Saturated fatty acids are more prejudicial to health than unsaturated ones.

During the process of photosynthesis,
TEA [102]

Answer:

d. less than 100% of the energy captured from sunlight is transformed into potential energy in the form of a hydrogen ion gradient and then into potential energy in the form of covalent bonds

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is process utilized by plants, several bacteria and protists to convert the light energy to chemical energy. So they utilize the photosynthesis as the powerhouse for the energy production. Heterotrophs like human that cannot synthesize their own food, use this converted form of energy by autotrophs.

During the light reaction of photosynthesis the photons from light are absorbed by photosystem I and II. These photons excites the electrons which flow through the electron transport chain from higher potential to lower potential. These electrons release the energy while moving from higher potential to lower potential which is utilized by H+ pump to pump the H+ to lumen of plastids from stroma and of course not the 100% energy is utilized some of the energy dissipates. . So this process causes the accumulation of high potential H+ ions across the membrane. These H+ ions are utilized for the production of ATP by ATP synthase complex when they flow back to lower potential across the membrane through ATP synthase complex.

The ATP and NADPH produced from light reaction are utilized to combine carbon molecules during dark reaction. The covalent bond is used to combine the carbon molecules and we know that combining carbon molecules stores energy in the form of covalent bond.

Why is a lagging strand not needed during protein synthesis?
elena55 [62]

Answer:

template 5'->3"

Explanation:

As we all know, with a linear chromosome, on the lagging strand (template 5'->3') of DNA replication, when the last piece of RNA primer at the 3' end is removed, the DNA cannot be extended and this creates the end replication problem.

A newly discovered animal reproduces slowly. It has only one offspring each time it reproduces. Which reproductive strategy does
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

C: K Strategy

Explanation:

The best choice will be C- K strategy because this type of strategy involves greater investment from parents into their offspring. These organisms are mostly higher organisms which reproduce slowly and ensure the maximum survival of their offspring. They compete strongly with other organisms and invest more in their survival by producing fewer quality offspring that have more survival opportunities.

Example of K-selected species include  larger mammals (such as primates and horses), birds and larger plants. Unlike their opposite R-selected specie which produce large number of offspring, K selected specie are called in Equilibrium wile R-selected species are called as opportunistic.

Thank you!
