How do saturated triglycerides compare to unsaturated triglycerides in how tightly they pack together?

Biology
1 answer:
laila [671]3 years ago
4 0

Answer and Explanation:

In saturated triglycerides structure, the fatty acids chains are composed by  carbon-chains with single bonds between carbons. The chains can be aligned with each other and are more easily packed, thus the interaction strenght is higher. For that reason, saturated triglycerides are solid at room temperature.

By other hand, unsaturated triglycerides are composed by fatty acids which  contain one (monounsaturated) or more (polyunsaturated) double bond(s) between the carbons and in consequence, the molecule bends. The bended chains cannot be packed efficiently, so the interaction strenght is lower and this kind of fats melt at lower temperatures.

Help!!!! Can anyone answer this lab questions below about mitosis!!!!
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

Mitosis is a division of a eukaryotic cell in which the chromosomes are evenly distributed among the daughter cells.  

In multicellular organisms, both sexual and asexual reproduction is followed by cell division, which ensures the growth and development of the organism. In addition, cell division is necessary to replace dead cells and repair injuries. New cells are constantly being added and old ones are being destroyed. About a hundred thousand more cells are created every second, and of course the same number dies. The new cells start with the division of the source cell. The cells formed in this way are called daughter cells. Stem cells can gradually divide into all the different cells in the body through mitosis.

Most of the body's cells are constantly renewed by mitosis, but there are also so-called irreplaceable cells that are formed only once in a lifetime for the life of the organism and do not regenerate by mitosis.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

I think it just all exists at once, if it never is created or destroyed. It must have just appeared at the same time at some point. It doesn't exactly come from anywhere, but that's my opinion. There might be another scientific answer out there, but that's what i think. I hope this helps.
