Margarine is a butter substitute that is solid at room temperature. It is made from vegetable oils (often soybean or canola oil)

. The label on a container of margarine lists "hydrogenated vegetable oil" as the major ingredient. Which statement below makes sense?
a) The hydrogenated vegetable oil is less likely to clog arteries compared to butter.
b) The hydrogenated vegetable oil stays solid at room temperature because the fatty acid chains have been saturated with hydrogens, breaking the double bonds between carbons.
c) The hydrogenated vegetable oil has more "kinks" in the fatty acid chains, compared to non-hydrogenated oil,causing it to be solid at room temperature.
d) The hydrogenated vegetable oil has a lower melting point.

Answer:

The correct answer is: b).

Explanation:

  • Oil or solid fat is composed of long chains made up of hydrocarbons (fatty acids).
  • The fatty acid can be:
  1. Saturated - in which all the carbon atoms in the long hydrocarbon chain are linked to each other by single bonds. As a result of this there is a tight packing between the fatty acid molecules which gives them a solid texture at room temperature.
  2. Unsaturated - in which there are one or more double or triple bonds in between carbon atoms in the long hydrocarbon chain. As a result of this kinks or bends develop in the fatty acid chain which results in generation of space or gap in between fatty acid chains. This gives the fatty acid the capability to move as a result of which they have a liquid texture at room temperature.
  • Hydrogenation is a process by which the unsaturated fatty acids (oil) are converted to saturated fatty acid (margarine) by reducing the multiple bonds in between the carbon atoms with hydrogen.
  • Hydrogenated oil has a higher melting point and so it is solid at room temperature.
  • Hydrogenated oil can also cause clogging in the arteries as they cannot be easily broken down due to their increased stability.

What role does evolution play in the emergence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria?
tiny-mole [99]

<u>1</u><u>.</u><u>Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.</u>

<u>2</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Bacteria evolve quickly because they grow fast and can share genes. Helpful mutations spread quickly in bacteria.</u>

<u>3</u><u>.</u><u>Taking antibiotics too often or for the wrong reasons can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don't work against them. This is called bacterial resistance or antibiotic resistance</u>

<u>4</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>Antibiotic resistance leads to higher medical costs, prolonged hospital stays, and increased mortality. The world urgently needs to change the way it prescribes and uses antibiotics.</u>

Why to introduced species thrive and multiply so easily in their new habitats
PolarNik [594]
Actually depends on the species. Take snakes for example. They quickly thrived here in america because they had similar environements over in europe. The warm climate here in florida is perfect for them. They like the heat of the sun the dense foliage and many other good qualities here. Also their are other places that are good as long as they are hot have water and prey and a nice hole they can sleep in they can survive making them very adaptable.
