An omega-3 fatty acid is one that has its first double bond at the <u>methyl </u>end of the molecule.

Explanation:

Fatty acids will have a methyl end and a carboxylic acid end and the long carbon chain.

The number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms depends upon its saturation type – saturated or unsaturated fatty acid.

The main advantage of the unsaturated fatty acids is that they have fewer hydrogen atoms because they are replaced with a double bond between the carbon atoms.

There are both short chain (carbon atoms 18 or less) or long chain (more than 20) fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Depending upon the carbon chain length, the first C=C double bond occurs between the third and fourth carbon atom from its methyl end on the carbon chain of the omega-3 fatty acid.

Omega-3 fatty acids are recommended by dieticians due to its immense health benefits especially for the heart since it reduces blood triglyceride level, blood pressure, plaque formation, and the risk factors for heart attacks or failure. These are also good for the eyes, to treat mental depression, and for fetal brain development during pregnancy.

How many alleles does a baby guinea pig inherit from the mother?
Harman [31]
The amount of alleles that a baby Guinea pig inherit from the mother are two , 1 from its mother and 1 from its father ( The very reason why we use them as an experiment tester is because this similarities)
For Example, if its mother hat a dominant black fur (BB) and its father has recessive grey fur (bb)  , there is 100% chance that the baby will has a Bb genotype, which will give them either black fur or dark grey fur.

Answer:

What sends oxygenated blood back to the heart from the lungs?

Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.

ONLY ANSWER IF YOURE AN EXPERIENCED FISH KEEPER<br> is my female swordtail pregnant?
LenKa [72]

Answer:

I don't know what your fish looks like but I will try my best :)

To accommodate the developing eggs, the mother's body expands, becoming deeper and broader. A few days before delivery, she develops a bulge below the gills, her outline becoming fairly square in this region, while the gravid spot has enlarged its area. The female swordtail and guppy will both give birth to anywhere from 20 to 100 live young after a gestation period of four to six weeks, and mollies will produce a brood of 20 to 60 live young after a gestation of six to 10 weeks.

Describe how water
Alla [95]

Explanation:

Epipelagic zone, the topmost at the surface of the oceans receives most of the sunlight and most penetrating light rays diffuse in this layer. The temperatures at this zone, therefore, is warmer than zones below. This zone has lowest water pressure becaue there is little water column above it.

The deeper you get into the water the penetration of sunlight decreases. This is because the rays are greatly diffused even before they get to the deepest zones. The abyssalpelagic zone virtually receives no sunlight because the rays cannot get to this zone. This zone is, therefore, pitch dark and also the coldest. The deeper you get into the ocean the higher the water pressure due to the weight of the able water column. The water pressure is, therefore, highest in the  abyssalpelagic zone.

_______ is an elastic protein that connects tubulin doublets in cilia and flagellae. the resultant bridges play an important rol
Firdavs [7]
Nexin

This is the elastic protein among tubulin doublets that link them together for ciliary and flagellae structures.
Cilia and flagella are cellular structures that facilitate movement of the cell from one area to another.

This protein also inhibits movement on microtubules from axonemes.
