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.

Natali [406]
The correct sequence is; Glycolysis-pyruvate-acetyl CoA-krebs cycle-electron transport chain. 
Glycolysis is a sequence of reactions for the breakdown of glucose to two molecules of pyruvic acid under aerobic conditions, Krebs cycle is a series of chemical reactions used by all aerobic organisms to release stored energy through the oxidation of acetyl-CoA derived from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into carbon dioxide and chemical energy in the energy carriers, while electron transport chain involves a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox reactions and couples this transfer with the transfer of protons across a membrane.
