A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain. It can be saturated or unsaturated. In order to describe correctly the fatty acid, the length of the carbon chain should be given, the number of double bonds and the exact position of the double bonds.<span />
Answer:
Explanation:
Scientific Research is a method used in the construction and testing of a scientific hypothesis.
It has six steps that can be used in solving questions ask or observations made which is A family wants to test the effectiveness of a misting shower head in conserving (saving) water compared to their regular shower head.
Steps to follow:
Make an observation: An observation would be made on how water is been used in the house and how it can be conserved, this observation is what brings about the question asked
Ask a question : The question is
which is more effective in conserving water a misting shower head or regular shower.
Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation: An hypothesis is formulated for the question asked
Example: Null hypothesis: Mistling shower conserves more water than shower head
Alternative: Mistling shower conserves less water that normal shower.
Make a prediction based on the hypothesis: Predictions are made on what could be the cause if there is indeed a difference and what could cause the difference
Test the prediction: An experiment is conducted to test the hypothesis if indeed Mistling is better than normal shower, the appropriate method is determined to be used for the experiment.
Iterate: The result gotten helps to butters our hypothesis if its to be acceoted or rejected. If rejected further research can be conducted on the effectiveness of normal shower in conserving water.
The right answer is A mutation.
Alteration of the genetic material (DNA or RNA) of a cell or virus that causes a change in certain traits due to the inheritance of this genetic material from generation to generation.
Abnormal modification of the DNA of a gene, either spontaneously during cell division, or under the influence of external agents called mutagens. This gene is modified to be transmitted to the daughter cells. Some mutations have no effect on the cell. Others are the first step in a long process of cancerization.
Rare are the mutations that are beneficial.
Answer:
C. Cholesterol
Explanation:
Cholesterol maintains the fluidity of the cell membrane and thereby, regulates its function.
Bile acids are derived from cholesterol which serves as their precursor. For example, Taurocholic acid is a polar derivative of cholesterol. Bile acids serve in the absorption of fatty acids, glycerol, and fat-soluble vitamins as these compounds are non-polar in nature.
Vitamin D is produced when the derivative of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol undergoes photolysis in skin cells in presence of sunlight.
