What is the length of a triglycerides? How are glycerol and fatty acids “connected” to make a triglyceride?

Biology
1 answer:
Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago

Every fatty acids has a long hydrocarbon chain (with even amounts of carbons, usually 16 or 18) and a carboxyl group.

glycerol is a 3-carbon molecule with 3 -OH groups.

fatty accids and glycerol can be connected by single or double bonds, depending on if the fatty acid is saturated or unsaturated.

when a lipid forms, the -COOH functional groups of 3 fatty acids react with -OH groups of glycerol.

this leaves 16, 18, or 20 carbons, making a triglyceride 16, 18, or 20 carbons long.

hope this helps!

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

It can be concluded that CFS has no effect on the light production of V.harveyi.

Explanation:

The both tube contain same cell concentration of V.harveyi.Now CFS is added from a light producing V.fischeri which ultimate result in the production of light by V.harveyi.

      On the other hand V.harveyi cells present on another tube can itself produce light because according to the question fresh media is added in this tube inplace of CFS.

V.harveyi of both tubes produces same amount of light.From this point of view it can be stated that V.harveyi itself can generate light, it does not need addition of any CFS from outside.

Cells can interact with other cells A. during specific stages of the cell cycle. B. that originated from the same stem cells. C.
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A cell can communicate with nearby cells (paracrine signaling) and with cells far away from them (endocrine signaling). These signalings are dependent on the cell membrane receptors on the cell and their response to ligands that bind to them. An example of close cell communication is that of neurotransmitters in neural synapses. An example of cells communicating with faraway cells is that of the pancreas that produces insulin into the blood. The insulin induces other cells  across the body to take up glucose.
