Describe the relationship between fatty acid chain length, saturation, and the melting point or fluidity of fatty acids.

Biology
1 answer:
Advocard [28]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Because double bonds cause the hydrocarbon chain to bend. Therefore, the fatty acids cannot compact tightly together, reducing the van der Waals interaction between the fatty acids. The melting point of fatty acids is also affected by chain length. The longer the hydrocarbon chain is, the higher the melting point.

victus00 [196]

The longmenshan fault is in china. This fault was created when two tectonic plates collided with each other, resulting in the rise of mountains next to the sichuan basin. This fault is most likely a reverse fault.

A reverse fault is a fault that exists in areas that are undergoing compression in which the rock on top of the fault plane is moved upward relative to the rock under the fault plane. A reverse fault is completely different from normal faults and it reduces the faulted section of rock.

How do the resurection of fern, crysts of brine shrimps and tardigrade survive with no water?
ehidna [41]
They survive without water by entering a special mode, otherwise called as shriveling. They can lose even 95% of water in their body and still live, even though they would look like dead plants, they would actually be alive. In the absence of water, tardigrades use a sugar called trehalose, which becomes their source of life until they find some water.

When 238u92 becomes , 234Th90 what type of decay has taken place?
ruslelena [56]

Answer: alpha

Explanation: Alpha particles are fast moving streams of positively charged particles that are shown to be Helium nuclei. They have a mass

number of 4 and an atomic number of 2 and a charge of +2. Alpha particles are represented as 4He2. When 238U92 becomes 234Th90, it emitted a helium nucleus 4He2. The equation for the decay is 238U92 ---> 234Th90 + 4He2.
