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.

How can I use MIE scattering to determine the best particle size to light scattering with glasses?
Gwar [14]

Answer:

There is a simple algebraic formula relating turbidity to optical properties. You do not need Mie theory. It is given in van de Hulst "Light scattering from small particles" (a nice cheap reprint from Dover Press). More easily accessible are any of the Mie calculators avaiable on the Internet, say Miecalc, these will give the exact result.

51. how do the differences in amino acid sequences lead to different protein functions?
Setler [38]

DifferentDifferent amino acid produce different proteins based on the bonds formed between them .

<h3>How does the sequence of amino acids affect the functions of protein ? </h3>

The sequence of amino acid of a protein determines protein shape , since the chemical properties of each amino acids are forces that gives rise to intermolecular interaction to begin to create secondary structure .

Amino acids are monomers of protein. So , different amino acids produce different proteins based on the bonds formed between them.
