Answer:

The right answer is B. The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.

Explanation:

Levator muscles are the muscles use to raise any region of the body. Like levator anguli oris which elevates the corner of the mouth, levator ani which is made up of many muscle sheets of iliococcygeus, puboretalis, and pubococcygeus muscles and holds pelvic viscera in their place.

Levators costarum during breathing helps in raising the ribs, levator palpebrae superioris have function in raising the eyelids and there are so many levator muscles are present in different places in the body which helps to elevate and/or adducts a region.

Therefore, the right answer is B. The muscle elevates and/or adducts a region.

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

One-half b c sine (60 degrees)

One-half a squared sine (60 degrees)

StartFraction a b sine (60 degrees) Over 2 EndFraction

Explanation:

The area rule states that the area of any triangle is equal to half the product of the lengths of the two sides of the triangle multiplied by the sine of the angle included by the two sides.

From the question, Equilateral triangle refer to a triangle with equal angle and equal sides. The sum of an angle in a triangle = 180°; this implies that each angles have 60°.

∴ the three options that defines the expressions that represent the are of triangle ABC are:

One-half b c sine (60 degrees)  

i.e \frac{1}{2}bcsin60^{0}

One-half a squared sine (60 degrees) ; if the two opposite sides posses the same parameters.

i.e \frac{1}{2}a^{2}sin60^{0}

StartFraction a b sine (60 degrees) Over 2 EndFraction

i.e \frac{absin60^{0}}{2}

In order for a fat molecule to be saturated, it must have what characteristic?
marin [14]
Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them. 
Schematically, they look like  -C-C-C-C-  ...

If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as  -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.

If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated.  It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.

Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures.  Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources.  However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.
