Arachadonic acid is a carboxylic acid with a 20 carbon chain and four cis-double bonds. They do not have any functional groups. It is a polyunsaturated fatty acid present in the phospholipids of the membranes in the cells of the body, brain, muscle and liver. Prostaglandins are the active lipids compounds abundant in human tissue. They are a 20 carbon chain saturated fatty acids with a 5 carbon ring forming a cyclopentane. It has one trans-double bond, two hydroxyl functional groups and a ketone functional group.
One reason why a species may go extinct is due to environmental changes. For example, if a environment undergoes deforestation / wild fires it’s environment will no longer be grassy green and would not allow for an animal like the Japanese rat snake to use its green coloring to camouflage from predators
