Answer:

Carotenoid, any of a group of non nitrogenous yellow, orange, or red pigments (bio chromes) that are almost universally distributed in living things. There are two major types: the hydrocarbon class, or carotene, and the oxygenated (alcoholic) class, or xanthophylls. Synthesized by bacteria, fungi, lower algae, and green plants, carotenoids are most conspicuous in the petals, pollen, and fruit (ex: carrots, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and citrus fruits) of the flowering plants.

Can provider gap 4, the communication gap, be closed prior to closing any of the other three provider gaps? why or why not?

pentagon [3]

Gap 4, which deals with lowering customer expectations, can be closed at any time. While the first three gaps are concerned with raising company performance to meet expectations, gap 4 aims to lower customer expectations to meet perceptions. The two approaches to closing the customer gap operate on different principles and therefore can occur independently. Incidentally, closing gap 4 can be more economical than closing the other gaps.

hodyreva [135]

Answer:

There are a number of lipids that are found in foods and contribute to various functions in the body. Triglycerides are the most common lipid found in food and in the body; they consist of a Glycerol backbone attached to three fatty acids.

Fatty acids are classified based on the degree to which the carbon chain is saturated with Hydrogen

A fatty acid is saturated if it contains no carbon-carbon double bonds, polyunsaturated if it contains two or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and monounsaturated if it has only one carbon-carbon double bond.

The unsaturated fatty acids can exist in one of two structural forms: the trans form occurs when hydrogens on both carbons forming the double bond lie on opposite sides of that bond.

When hydrogens on an unsaturated fatty acid lie on the same side of the carbon-carbon double bond, a cis formation exists.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Generalist species would be abundant in the biome.

Explanation:

A generalist species is the species that can survive in the wide variety of different resources and the environmental conditions.

The generalist species would be found in the higher number in biome which experiences large seasonal fluctuations with varying precipitation and temperature. The generalist species would be abundant because they can survive the changing environment, change in the conditions and wide range of food.
