Answer:

Ions are some atoms with charges.

Explanation:

This ions could be positive or negative, they are formed because the atom gained or lost some electrons in their internal structure.

In the human body, they are very common because they are constantly formed, for example in our cells membranes, we need some potassium and calcium ion to transport water inside the cells.

Also this ions are formed when we eat food during digestion process, some of this ions are the responsible for aging.

Hope this info is useful.

What is a triacylglycerol ? Discuss the advantages of organisms having triacylglycerol as energy storage molecule?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

Triacylglycerols are acylglycerols with three fatty acid molecules, generally long chain, which can be the same or different; we speak of simple triacylglycerols when there is the same fatty acid in all three glycerol positions, but most are mixed triacylglycerols, with at least two different fatty acids. The properties of triacylglycerols will depend on the type of fatty acids they contain.

Most of the fats and oils of both animal origin (tallow, butter) and vegetable (olive, corn, sunflower, palm, and coconut oils) are formed almost exclusively by triacylglycerols.

Physiologically, triacylglycerols are an important energy reserve. In most eukaryotic cells, triacylglycerols are stored in the cytosol as microscopic fat droplets. In vertebrates there are specialized cells in the storage of fat, adipocytes. In humans, the presence of fatty tissue under the skin, in the abdominal cavity and in the mammary gland stands out.
