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.

Answer:

Periodic selection.

Explanation:

Some bacterial strain has the ability to develop the resistance against the particular drug. This helps the bacteria to survive against the adverse environmental conditions.

The periodic selection may be defined as the natural selection that selects some strains of the bacteria that can survive in the particular environment. The periodic selection also favors the adaptive mutation that might occur due to the recombination in bacteria and removes the non selective species. The information given in the question provides the example of periodic selection.

Thus, the answer is periodic selection.
