Which reaction is responsible for the production of lipids when glycerol is joined to three fatty acids?

Biology
1 answer:
Anna35 [415]3 years ago
4 0

This reaction is called a condensation reaction. It is also known as  a dehydration reaction.

When three fatty acids become attached to a glycerol molecule, a triglyceride is formed.  The fatty acids become attached to the glycerol through a condensation reaction named so because 3 water molecules are formed from the 3 OH groups from the fatty acid chains and 3 H atoms from the glycerol.

The bond formed between the fatty acid chain and the glycerol is called an ester linkage.

The drug colchicine inhibits the formation of spindle fibers during mitosis. If you treat dividing plant cells with colchicine,
vekshin1

Answer:

D

Explanation:

During metaphase of cell division, the chromosomes line up in the metaphase plate and the spindle fibers from the poles extend and attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. The spindle then contracts and pull different chromosomes to the opposite poles of the cell before the parent cell divides.   If spindle fibers do not form, then the chromosomes will not separate during anaphase.

Therefore, the final cell after mitosis will be a cell with double the number of chromosomes -because if you remember, during interphase, genetic material is replicated so each daughter cell can have its copy-. Due to quality control in the process of cell divisison, this cell will mostly undergo apoptosis, otherwise, it could develop into cancer.

Which of the following is true of all greenhouse gases?
My name is Ann [436]
<span>Which of the following is true of all greenhouse gases?
</span>
C. THEY TRAP ENERGY IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

They are not naturally occurring. They are the result of human activity like using electricity, burning fuel, etc. 

They don't exist in fixed quantities and they don't reflect incoming radiation. The volume of greenhouse gases emitted depends on the activity done. It also does not stay in one place, it moves around and combines with other green house gases; trapping heat in the atmosphere and making the Earth warmer.
