<span>In order to understand trans fat, you must understand the prefix. Trans and cis are prefixes that mean opposite and same side, just like transgender people identify with a gender that is not in line with their biological sex, and cisgender people identify with their biological gender. Cis fat describes the fatty acids attached to the glycerol in triglycerides. Cis fats have hydrogen attached to the carbon chain just like trans fats, but at one, two, or more places on the chain, two hydrogen atoms attached on the same side, and the fatty acid chain gets bent, making the collection of fats less dense and therefore healthier for you and I. Trans fats have hydrogen atoms on alternating sides all the way down the chain, making them denser and solid at room temperature. In order to turn a plant oil (cis fat) into trans fat, the cis fat has to be blasted with hydrogen in order to turn the fatty acid chains from cis to trans. This adds more energy to the fats while also making them denser, which turns olive oil into a butter-like substance.</span><span />

timofeeve [1]
The correct answers are a, c, d.
There are three types of capillaries: continuous, sinusoidal (or discontinuous) and fenestrated. Continuous capillaries are the most common type and they form tight junctions. Sinusoidal capillaries form an incomplete lining with several gaps, which allow red and white blood cells and some serum proteins to pass. These capillaries are mainly found in the bone marrow, lymph nodes and adrenal glands. Finally, fenestrated capillaries facilitate the movement of smaller molecules and plasma proteins and are mainly found in the small intestine. The majority of the fluid transport happens through the fenestrated capillaries.

What is the difference between Mechanical and Chemical Weathering?
Mamont248 [21]
Carbon dioxide, oxygen, water, and acids may all cause chemical weathering. Mechanical weathering is the process of breaking a large rock into smaller pieces without changing the minerals in the rock. Mechanical weathering may be caused by frost, ice, plant roots, running water, or heat from the sun.
