Answer: Single covalent bond in the long hydrocarbon chain.
Saturated fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbon ( with single covalent bond) ending with the carboxylic group (-COOH). This means those fatty acids which possess only single bonds in their chemical structure are called as saturated fatty acids. They are densely packed, which makes them solid at room temperature.
Example- Lauric acid ( present in coconut oil). It has 12 carbon atoms in its chemical structure.
Answer:
The statement that says "Energy enters a food chain as heat energy and leaves it as light energy" is false.
Explanation:
The energy that enters the food chains, first of all, is light energy from the sun. This energy is assimilated by plants to convert it into chemical energy, through photosynthesis.
When energy flows from producers, plants, to consumers and decomposers, a great amount of <u>energy is lost, in the form of </u><u>heat energy</u>, due to the metabolism of living beings. Additionally, the second law of thermodynamics states that when energy passes from one form to another it leads to disorder in the system, which would also explain the loss of energy.
The true statement is "Energy enters a food chain as <u>light energy</u> and leaves it as <u>heath energy"</u>.
Answer:
The correct answer is - autosomal codominant inheritance (due to multiple alleles).
Explanation:
Autosomal codominant inheritance or codominance is a pattern of inheritance where the alleles present of an autosomal gene express their character in the phenotype. In other words, in this type of pattern, no allele would be masked by other alleles and both will be expressed in the phenotype.
The human ABO blood group is an example of this pattern as there are three alleles A, B, and O. In the heterozygous case of AB blood group both A, and B alleles expressed together however, O is masked by both alleles A, and O.
Answer:
tRNA molecules bring a specific amino acid to the ribosome, according to the mRNA codon.
Explanation:
In the context of protein synthesis, an mRNA molecule contains the specific codons that encode the amino acids that will be part of the protein. The tRNA is in charge of bringing the amino acids to the ribosome, according to the specific information of the mRNA codons.
