Answer: A fatty acid in which the hydrocarbon molecules have a hydrogen atom every carbon and thus are fully hydrogenated. Byway of comparison the hydrocarbon molecules of unsaturated fats have two carbons that share double or triple bonds and are therefore not completely saturated with hydrogen atoms.
Algae are photosynthetic, but they are also unicellular organisms (Euglena) and shares some of the common features with plants as well as animals. They move like animals and perform photosynthesis like plants. Therefore, they are classified into Protists, and not the Algae. Their most features resemble the non-photosynthetic protozoa, and not plants, and therefore, are put into the Protista.
They also lack a cell wall, which is a feature of plants.
Some scientists advocate their classification in plants because of their sexual mode of reproductiona, and formation of spores.
Biodiversity loss from species extinctions may rival pollution and climate change impacts. Species extinction and loss of biodiversity could be as devastating for the earth as climate change and air pollution. That's the finding of a new study by a group of scientists from nine countries.
