The following given statements are true of trans-fatty acids:

A. Often created by treating plant oils with hydrogen

D. Occur naturally in in food

<u>Explanation:</u>

The unsaturated fatty acids that are produced by a method called hydrogenation through the addition of a hydrogen molecule to vegetable oils is understood as "Trans-fatty acids". According to the hydrogenation process the composition of the fatty acids varies. The unsaturated fatty acids trans structure receives one double conjugated bond and obtains a straight shape and rectifies the twisted shape created by cis bonds.

Increasing the concentrations of trans-fatty acids particularly in the red blood cell membranes can lead to blockage of the blood vessel as a whole and enhance the risk of heart disease. Meat and dairy products kind natural food materials include trans fatty acids.

Trans-fatty acids:

1  often created by treating plant oils with hydrogen  is a true statement

2 cause the shape of fatty acids to be incorrect  is a false statement

3 help membranes function normally  is a false statement

4 occur naturally in in food is a true statement

Explanation:

Trans-fatty acids are unsaturated fatty acids obtained due to addition of a hydrogen molecule to vegetable oils by a process called hydrogenation.

The shape of fatty acids changes due to the hydrogenation process. The trans configuration of the unsaturated fatty acids gain one conjugated double bond and obtain a straight shape and corrects the bent shape formed due to cis bonds.

An increase in the trans-fatty acid levels especially in the membranes of the red blood cells will lead to clogging of the blood vessel itself and increases the risk for cardiac diseases. Trans fatty acids reduce the flexibility of the cell membranes and make it more rigid. The cell membranes should be flexible and the cellular molecules should be fluid for easy cellular transport of materials.

Natural foods like meat, dairy products contain trans fatty acids.

Why the horses developed an oxygen debt when they exercised.
user100 [1]

Answer:

The horses developed an oxygen debt when they exercise because they suffered from Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH).

Explanation:

A temporary shortage of oxygen in the body tissues during physical exertion such as exercise or a sudden burst of activity is referred to as oxygen shortage.

Horses (compared to humans) are uniquely designed to experience little or none of this.

When the body takes up oxygen, it reacts with glucose to produce energy. This is called Aerobic respiration.

There is also another procedure that the body uses to produce energy. This occurs when glucose is broken down in the cells. After this happens, lactic acid is created but cannot be stored in the body and must be expelled.

This interval when energy is produced without the presence of oxygen is called "oxygen debt".

When a horse is fit, its breathing quickly returns to normal. The longer the time taken for the breathing to return to normal, the less fit the horse is.

One of the factors that can reduce the fitness of a horse is the Exercise-Induced Pulmonary Hemorrhage (EIPH).

This occurs when blood vessle in the lung ruptures causing blood to bleed into the airways. So blood occupies space where oxygen should have. This reduced the amount of oxygen delivered to the blood stream. Hence the oxygen debt takes longer to be repaid.

Cheers
