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.

Which of the following is not a feature of cardiac muscle? Multiple Choice They depend almost exclusively on aerobic respiration

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-They have about the same endurance as skeletal muscle fibers.

Explanation:

Cardiac muscle is one of the three types of muscle which is present in the Heart of the organism.

The muscle fibres of the cardiac muscle possess a high amount of myoglobin- an Oxygen carrying molecule which can store the oxygen for some time.

The cardiac muscles have to pump blood in the body, for which they require a high amount of ATP, so they possess larger mitochondria.

The studies have shown that the cardiac muscles store glycogen carbohydrate which is used during the relaxation phase in stress conditions.

Since the cardiac muscles do not have the same endurance as the skeletal muscles which with physical exercise can be increased therefore the selected option is the correct answer.

Water vapor in the air forms clouds because the air can no longer hold the water vapor as it _____.

pantera1 [17]

The answer is; B

As air cools, its capacity to hold moisture reduces. This is is why as warm humid air cools, it reaches a saturation point, and the water moisture begins to form droplets. These droplets form clouds in the atmosphere.
