I think the fatty acids that may be used to make a fat that is liquid at room temperature are One plamitic acid, one stearic acid, and one oleic acid.
Fatty acids are composed of linked chains of carbon atoms with an organic acid group at the end of the chain. Liquid fats or Oils are mainly obtained from plants or fish sources, and have high percentages of unsaturated fatty acids.

Answer:

A combination of oleic acid & palmitic acid.

Explanation:

Oleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temperature because of the presence of double bond in them.

Between palmitic acid and stearic acid, we will choose palmitic acid because palmitic acid (16 carbon chain) has less number of carbon atoms as compared to stearic acid (18 carbon chain) that is why it is liquid at room temperature. The fatty acids which have more number of carbon atoms have more Tm (transition temperature) so they will require more temperature for changing phase from solid to liquid. So, it simply means they will be solid at room temperature that is why we will not choose stearic acid.

Tm ∝ No. of carbon atoms in the lipid ∝  hydrophobic interactions.

Explain why you would want to keep some, but not all, receipts as part of your financial records.
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's try and figure out the ones you don't keep.

Receipts from the dollar tree. You can't return what you bought and you only paid a dollar. It's not worth it.

Food receipts. You can't return it and unless you want to itemize what you spend / month and on what, they don't serve any purpose.

Now figure out which ones you would want to keep

1. Anything pertaining to medical perscriptions. I don't know how it works in the United States, but in Canada we are allowed to deduct only medications with a DIN number.

2 Anything that you would use for travelling that is not for pleasure (ie it is a business expense). So if you are a salesman and your territory is from A to B you would deduct meals, mileages, motels if you must stay away from home

3 In the states some tax receipts are deductible, so you might want to save those.
