I believe that alcohols' higher vapor pressures than water is due to there being less H-bonding in alcohols, thus making the correct answer:
Is due to more [A. Hydrogen bonding in the water]
Answer:
The most common position for an double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid is delta 9 (Δ⁹)
Explanation:
Unsaturated fatty acids are carboxylic acids which contains one or more double bonds. The chain length as well as the number of double bonds is written separated by a colon. The positions of the double bonds are specified starting from the carboxyl carbon, numbered as 1, by superscript numbers following a delta (Δ). For example, an 18-carbon fatty acid containing a single double bond between carbon number 9 and 10 is written as 18:1(Δ⁹).
In most monounsaturated fatty acids, the double bond is between C-9 and C-10 (Δ⁹), and the other double bonds of polyunsaturated fatty acids are generally Δ¹² and Δ¹⁵. This positioning is due to the nature of the biosynthesis of fatty acids. In the mammalian hepatocytes, double bonds are introduced easily into fatty acids at the Δ⁹ position, but cannot introduce additional double bonds between C-10 and the methyl-terminal end. However, plants are able to introduce these additional double bonds at the Δ¹² and Δ¹⁵ positions.
Answer:
There are many infectious diseases for which we don't have an effective treatment. In these cases, the scientific community is working to understand the molecular mechanisms used by these pathogens to attack human cells. From a medical perspective, it is imperative to use treatments to improve the patient's life quality.
