Answer:

In both the process ,liquid evaporates and carries away the heat and also produce cooling sensation on the surface of the mammal or object

Explanation:

In the process of transpiration (which is a thermodynamic process), when a liquid or gas transpires or evaporates from the surface of any structure then it carries away the heat energy contained in that structure and also reduces the radiative heat flux coming into the that structure thereby producing a colling effect.

Like wise , sweat released by the gland in skin of mammals evaporates leaving a cooling effect on the surface or body.

What is the effect of the presence of double bonds in plant lipids?

Anna71 [15]

Answer: Option C.

C)the tails of plant lipids cannot pack as tightly together as animal ones

Explanation:

The tails of plant lipids cannot pack as tightly together as animal ones because the double bond in plant lipids make the hydrocarbon chains to bend making them no to pack tightly together which cause a reduction in van der Waals interaction between the fatty acids. The length of the double bond also affect the melting point of fatty acids . If the hydrocarbon chain is long, melting point will be high .
