<span>Fatty acids are fats that have acidic carboxyl groups on them. Something like CH3-(CH2)n-COOH Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between 1 or more of the carbons in the chain. They are unsaturated with hydrogen, but can be hydrogenated chemically. Fatty acids have many roles, but a very common one is to form the lipids in membranes.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

b

Explanation:

<em>The correct answer as to the ocean process that exposes the coastal organisms to land-based predators would be the daily tidal patterns that leave the coastal area exposed to the land for a part of the day.</em>
