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.

Answer:

A new born baby can turn blue when there is not enough oxygen rich blood in his body

Explanation:

TGV - Transposition of the great arteries is a defective heart condition that occurs from birth. The two great arteries are the aorta and pulmonary artery. The aorta carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body while the pulmonary artery carries oxygen deficient blood from the body to the lungs

Normally the aorta which is supposed to be connected to the left ventricle and supply oxygen rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body is transposed. Meaning that it is instead connected to the right ventricle and carries oxygen-deficient blood to the body.

Conversely in  TGV situation, the pulmonary artery is connected to the left ventricle (instead of the right ventricle) and carries oxygen rich (instead of oxygen-deficient) blood to the lungs.

The result is that the new born baby body has oxygen deficient blood and hence begins to burn blue (cyanotic)
