Which molecule is less soluble in water--a fat or a phospholipid? Why?
VladimirAG [237]
Fat is less soluble in water compared to phospholipids.
This is because, fat is made up of three molecules of fatty acids which are not polar in nature at all, thus they mixed very poorly with water.
Phospholipids on the other hand has its molecules divided into two distinct regions, the head and the tail region. The head region is hydrophillic and it is polar in nature, that is, it mixes well with water. The tail region is made up of the fatty components  and it is hydrophobic.
Because of this difference in structure, phospholipid will dissolve better in water.

The greenhouse effect refers to what?
podryga [215]

The green house effect refers to gases trapping the heat energy reflected from earth’s surface.

gases trapping heat energy reflected from the earth's surface.

<u>Explanation:</u>

It is the greenhouse effect that made earth a planet that supports life. if there was no green house effect the earth would have been too cold to live on. Sunlight contains rays like UV and infrared.  

UV rays being harmful are blocked by the ozone layer in the stratosphere. Infrared rays that enter the earth’s atmosphere are trapped by the greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, water vapour, methane etc. the trapped infrared rays help in providing warmth.

What environmental worldview is seen by critics as focused on short-term economic benefits with little regard for long term harm
attashe74 [19]
I believe the answer is the global free-market approach.
It is because on continually increasing use of earth's natural capital, and it focuses on short term economic benefits with little regard for degradation and depletion of natural capital and resulting long-term harmful environmental, health, and social consequences. Environmental world views are the ways of thinking about how the world work and beliefs that people hold about their roles in the natural world, another factor is widespread lack of understanding of how earth's life-support system works, keeps us alive, and supports economies.

What is the Mechanical energy when
Scilla [17]

Answer:

ME = 20 * m, where m is the mass of the pendulum

Explanation:

As we know that mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy.

Since the Pendulum at its highest point has zero velocity, its kinetic energy at this point is equal to zero.

Thus, here in this mechanical energy will be equal to the potential energy only.

Potential energy is equal to the product of gravity constant, mass of the body and the height of the pendulum

Thus,

ME = PE\\

PE = m * g* h\\PE = 10 * 2* m\\

PE= 20m

Hence,

ME = 20 * m
