Answer:

Explanation:

Heat or thermal energy is a kinetic energy. That is connected with the random movements present in the atoms. Temperature is usually uniform throughout the cell so the most cell can not harness heat to perform work.

Heat is a type of energy which is transfer from one body to another body due to the temperature difference.

It can only perform work if it is transferred from one source which is warmer to a body which is cooler. The temperature in living organisms is usually kept very constant due to the process of homeostasis.

--> Saturated fatty acids: these are fatty acids that contains no double bonds making it solid at room temperature. They are usually found in animal products such as milk, cheese and meat. They are absorbed in the villi of small intestine after digestion. One of the disadvantages of consuming diet rich in saturated fat is Saturated fats might increase LDL cholesterol levels. These are the bad cholesterol which are affected by inhibiting the LDL receptor activities leading to its increase. This can lead to heart disease conditions.

--> Unsaturated fatty acids: These are fatty acids which may contain one or more double bonds making it liquid at room temperature. They are found in plant oil (omega 6) and fish oil (omega 3). When consumed, they are absorbed in the villi of small intestine and helps maintain a good balance of cholesterol in blood.

There are 20 classifications for amino acids but nine of them are essential since our body can't make them. Usually in diet important amino acids are Lysine (C6H14N2O2), Leucine (C6H13NO2), Valine (C5H11NO2), Tryptophan (C11H12N2O2), Isoleucine (C6H13NO2) Phenylalanine (C9H11NO2) and Threonine (C4H9NO3).</span>
