Answer: Single covalent bond in the long hydrocarbon chain.
Saturated fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbon ( with single covalent bond) ending with the carboxylic group (-COOH). This means those fatty acids which possess only single bonds in their chemical structure are called as saturated fatty acids. They are densely packed, which makes them solid at room temperature.
Example- Lauric acid ( present in coconut oil). It has 12 carbon atoms in its chemical structure.
Answer:
Most TP53 mutations change single amino acids in the p53 protein, which leads to the production of an altered version of the protein that cannot control cell proliferation and is unable to trigger apoptosis in cells with mutated or damaged DNA. As a result, DNA damage can accumulate in cells
<u>Answer</u>:
The food containing 200 calorie have less potential energy than the food containing 300 calorie
<u>Explanation</u>:
The potential energy content of a food material is its stored energy content which is in the form of chemical bonds. This energy can be measured through the combustion of food material inside a calorimeter. A calorimeter is an instrument which is used to measure the total calorie content of the food or other biological samples by measuring its heat content. A Calorie is unit of energy which is in form of heat.
The food material containing carbohydrates proteins and fats have energy in form of chemical bonds. On the breaking of bond inside the body, energy is released as in the case of glucose breakdown also known as glycolysis.
The energy released from glycolysis is used to synthesize high energy containing phosphoanhydride bonds. These ATP molecules are a further breakdown in the system to provide energy to the cell to perform various activities.
