A covalent bond is likely to be polar if _____________
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The correct answer d. one of the atoms sharing electrons is much more electronegative.

Explanation:

If one of the atoms is more electronegative than the others, like the oxygen in the water molecule, it will allow this atom to attract the other's electrons turning itself into a negative pole and turning the others into a positive pole. In the water, oxygen is more electronegative and that's why it becomes the negative part and the hydrogens become the positive.

The cell membranes of Antarctic ice fish might have which of the following adaptations? a. a high percentage of unsaturated fatt
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

c. a high percentage of very long chain saturated fatty acids

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds (they are saturated with hydrogens), so their tails are relatively straight. Unsaturated fatty acids, on the other hand, contain one or more double bonds, which often produces an elbow or bend. (You can see an example of an unsaturated bent tail in the phospholipid structure diagram that appears at the beginning of this article.) Saturated and unsaturated phospholipid fatty acid tails behave differently when the temperature drops:

- At colder temperatures, the straight tails of saturated fatty acids can be tightly bound, producing a dense and quite rigid membrane.

- Phospholipids with unsaturated fatty acid tails cannot bind so closely due to the bent structure of their tails. For this reason, an unsaturated phospholipid membrane remains fluid at lower temperatures than a saturated phospholipid membrane.

Most cell membranes contain a mixture of phospholipids, some with two saturated (straight) tails and others with a saturated tail and an unsaturated (folded) tail. <u>Many organisms — fish, for example — can adapt physiologically to cold environments by changing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids in their membranes, that is, increasing the proportion of saturated long-chain fatty acids.</u>

In addition to phospholipids, animals have an additional component in their membrane that helps them maintain fluidity. Cholesterol, another type of lipid that is embedded between the membrane phospholipids, helps decrease the effects of temperature on fluidity.

37. A scientist carries out an experiment. How could she help other scientists judge the validity of her results? (2 points)
algol [13]

Answer:

Let other scientists closely review her work

Explanation:

Ideally, experiments are carried out by scientists to find solution to an observed problem or provide answer to a scientific question. However, the outcome of experiments are not generally accepted in the world of science until they are peer-reviewed.

Peer review is when other scientists in the same field (peers) with the scientist performing the experiment make a thorough evaluation in order to ascertain its quality as a scholarly research. Hence, in this question, the scientist could help other scientists judge the validity of her results by LETTING OTHER SCIENTISTS CLOSELY REVIEW HER WORK.
