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.

Answer:

The term “reptile” is derived (Made) from a Latin word meaning “creeping animals.” These animals include snakes, lizards, crocodiles, alligators, turtles, geckos, and chameleons, with lizards and snakes species making up the majority of all reptiles. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals which means they are unable to regulate their own body temperature. Reptiles are Oviparous (Egg laying). Reptiles also have chains of bony elements from the tail to the head. The bony endoskeleton consists of cranium or skull, appendages, and limb girdles. The endoskeleton protects the inner tissue and also aids in body movement. Skeletons differ from one species to another, with crocodiles having some of the largest body structures in this class.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Water molecules stick together by cohesion

Explanation:

This sticking together of like substances is called cohesion. Depending on how attracted molecules of the same substance are to one another, the substance will be more or less cohesive. Hydrogen bonds cause water to be exceptionally attracted to each other. Therefore, water is very cohesive.

Where does the energy go after it reaches the top predators?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. In each case, energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next trophic level and each time some energy is lost as heat into the environment.
