The triglycerides in animals tend to be solids (i.e., fats) at room temperature whereas the triglycerides in plants tend to be l

iquids (i.e., oils) at room temperature. Based on this fact, what can you conclude about the characteristics of the fatty acids in animal triglycerides compared to the fatty acids in plant triglycerides

Answer:

The animal triglycerides have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids than the plant triglycerides.

Explanation:

The triglycerides have three fatty acids attached to the single glycerol molecule by ester linkage. The fatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated. The triglycerides with saturated fatty acids such as the animal triglycerides exhibit a relatively tight packing of these fatty acids and make them solid at room temperature.

On the other hand, the triglycerides with unsaturated fatty acids such as the plant triglycerides are liquid at room temperature since the presence of double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains leads to weaker interactions and does not allow the tight packing of the fatty acids.

If an organism has high biological fitness in one environment, does that mean that it would also have high biological fitness in
Marina86 [1]

The answer is no, high biological fitness in one environment doesn’t have to be high in another environment.

Biological fitness is a term used in evolutionary biology and it is the quantitative representation of how a genotype (or phenotype) is successful (reproductively) in a certain environment. Fitness depends on environment so it changes if the environment changes. The fitness of a genotype is manifested through its phenotype, which is affected by the environment.

Why can carbon form very large molecules?
malfutka [58]

Answer;

(c) It can bond with other carbon atoms that are bonded to other molecules

Explaation;

-Carbon is the only element that can form so many different compounds because each carbon atom can form four chemical bonds to other atoms, and because the carbon atom is just the right, small size to fit in comfortably as parts of very large molecules.

-Carbon chains can bond with carbon rings to form very large, complex molecules. These large molecules can be made of many small molecules that are bonded together.
