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.

City-state government was often conquered because they did not have enough resources to protect themselves

Explanation:

A city-state government is an independent autonomic political system which usually compromises just a single independent city which is governed by itself with sovereignty over its territory. The city-states like Greece, Italy, and Rome etc became very powerful.

The main reason for these city-states being conquered more was the accumulation of wealth and aristocracy in such states.

Heavy taxes, religion, slavery also lead to social unrest and conflicts among these city-states which made them weaker.  These internal conflicts also made them lose their resources and vulnerable to be conquered by other powerful empires.

With the increasing power of neighboring states, like in the case of Rome and Greece, the Romans became mightier than Greeks at one point and conquered the Greek city-states.
