REY [17]4 years ago

Answer:

The cholesterol has 2 main properties in cell membranes

Explanation:

The first one is that promotes the hydrophobicity, that is, the cell membranes turn more impermeable, so it will not allow to enter liquids, like the water.

The other function of cholesterol is that with a high quantity of cholesterol in it, it makes that the cell membrane is not so fluid, reduces the flexibility of the oils in membranes, this is because the cholesterol is a bigger molecule in contrast with fatty acid.

How many atoms are present in 4.0 Mol of sodium
LekaFEV [45]
1 mole = 6.02 x 10^23 atoms (of any element)

So we are going to take our known value of 4 moles, and multiply by 6.02 x 10^23 (Avogadro's number) and we will get the number of atoms that are in 4 moles. 

(4.0 moles of Na) x (6.02 x 10^23) / (1 mole) = 2.4 x 10^24 atoms of Na
There are 2.4 x 10^24 atoms of Na in 4.0 moles.

Write a scientific explanation that answers the following question: How do you know scientifically that fat and soap are differe
Fantom [35]
Fat and soap are different substances. <span>One reason is that they have a different malleability. The Soap is very hard and sturdy. The fat is soft. Also, soap and fat are different because they had different smells. The soap had a refreshing smell and a soapy one and the fat smelled rubbery like Play-doh.  Another reason why fat and soap are different substances is that they don’t dissolve the same in water and oil. Soap is soluble in water and shortening is not soluble in water. Soap is not soluble in oil and shortening is soluble in oil. In the water shortening did not become cloudy but soap did. When placed in oil, the shortening disappeared completely, while soap did not change at all.The melting point of the fat was 57.6 we could not find the melting point of the soap. The soaps melting point is higher than the water's boiling point. A property is something that describes an object and does not change. For example, the soap is white, where the fat is off white. Color is a property. Fat and soap are also different because they have different densities. The soap sank but the fat floated. The density of fat is about .88 g/ml and the density of soap is about 1.18 g/ml. </span><span>Fat and soap are not the same substances one reason is they have different properties.Malleability, hardness, solubility, melting point,color, and density are all properties. </span>A property is a characteristic of a substance that does not change. Different substances have different properties.<span> If they had the same properties, they would be the same substance, but, since they don’t, they are different substances.

Hope this helps :D</span>
