oee [108]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Fatty acids have a carboxyl group at one end of a hydrocarbon molecule.

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

An X-ray is done to diagnose the position of bones in the body whether its broken or not or in right place or not.

An X-ray machine is turned on to provide a visual of the bones showing bone condition. When the machine is turned on, X-ray travel through the body tissues, and due to the presence of calcium in bones, they absorb more X-rays, thus bones appear white against the black background of a radiograph.

These white bones on the radiograph will show the position of bones whether it's broken or not.

  • <em><u>Small molecules that are non-polar (have no charge) can cross the membrane easily through diffusion, but ions (charged molecules) and larger molecules typically cannot.</u></em>
  • Charged ions  such as N+ and K+ Cannot permeate the cell membrane for the since uncharged molecules repel uncharged molecules present in the membrane structure.
