Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them.
Schematically, they look like -C-C-C-C- ...
If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.
If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated. It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.
Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures. Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources. However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.
Answer:
I'm pretty sure the answer is b. Monosaccharides
Explanation:
Monosaccharides are simple sugars that contain fructose and glucose, which I believe maple syrup has.

Explanation:
Answer:
a small deletion occurs in the nucleotide sequence at the aminoterminal of the gene in the signal sequence
Explanation:
A deletion in the sequence of nucleotide that code for the small signal sequence responsible will affect the release of insulin outside the cells because the signal sequence is responsible for carrying the insulin outside the cells. The cells of pancreas are producing the insulin normally but due to mutation in the signal sequence it can not release out of the cells and accumulate inside the cells.
