why do saturated fatty acids have straight structures, while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?

Biology
1 answer:
Ierofanga [76]3 years ago
7 0
Saturated fatty acids are chains of single bonded carbons surrounded by hydrogen atoms.

Unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures due to double bonding between carbon atoms in the chain. When carbons create double bonds with each other they are no longer able to hold as many hydrogens as a saturated fatty acid

Are involuntary muscles striated?
alukav5142 [94]

</span>
<span><span>These muscles that are not striated are very smooth to the sight which is why they are also called Smooth muscles.</span> Involuntary muscles are not striated. Even among the striated muscles that are voluntary, the heart which is also a muscle, is involuntary.
On the other hand the striated muscles, which are voluntary are highly fibrous and their primary function is to move the body voluntarily, and producing heat as a result of this muscle action. </span>

Plasma contains more sodium than chloride. How can this be if individual ions of sodium and chloride exactly balance each other
MAXImum [283]

In addition to chloride, there are other negatively charged molecules in plasma. The extra sodium restores the balance of the overall negative charges.

So this is how plasma is electrically neutral.

<h3>The makeup of bodily fluids:</h3>
  • High levels of sodium, chloride, bicarbonate, and protein can be found in the plasma.
  • High levels of salt, chloride, and bicarbonate but a relatively low level of protein can be found in the IF.
  • The ICF, on the other hand, contains higher levels of protein, phosphate, magnesium, and potassium.
<h3>What occurs when the plasma Na+ content rises?</h3>
  • Although the plasma sodium concentration does not provide any information regarding the volume of extracellular fluid, it does allow for an assumption regarding intracellular volume.
  • A rise in plasma sodium (plasma osmolality) causes water to be drawn out of the cell, which causes the intracellular volume to decrease.
<h3>Why does plasma have a higher sodium content than chloride?</h3>
  • In plasma, sodium predominates over chloride.
  • In addition to chloride, there are other negatively charged molecules in plasma.
  • The extra sodium restores the balance of the overall negative charges.
