In order for a fat molecule to be saturated, it must have what characteristic?

Biology

marin [14]2 years ago

Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them. 
Schematically, they look like  -C-C-C-C-  ...

If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as  -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.

If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated.  It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.

Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures.  Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources.  However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.

Answer:

C. Glucose and oxygen

Explanation:

Photosynthesis takes water, carbon dioxide, and light energy and turns it into cellular energy (glucose) and converts the carbon dioxide into oxygen. Plants are so vital to human life due to this process as they produce both the energy we need and air we breathe to survive.

Which of the following is a factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation, or conduction velocity, along an axon?a) len
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

c) degree of myelination of the axon

Explanation:

Axon conduction velocity can be defined as the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down an axon.

Factors that determines the rate of conduction velocity are:

  • axon diameter-larger diameter axons have a higher conduction velocity
  • sheeth-a myelin sheath increases the rate of impulse propagatio

Different types of neurons will have different speed of propagation because of their different properties and because different types of information are sent.
