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.

Cloning is a good idea because it replicates what we already have therefore genetically cloning something would lead to a better more functioning society. 
 
Genetic engineering is a good idea as well because it creates a stronger DNA that is less likely to get diseases such as Diabetes and cancer. As well as it leads us to a more utopian society and could possibly eliminate the need for breeding.

Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

The genetic determination of coat colors in calico cats is linked to the X chromosome wherein calicos are nearly always female, with one coat color  allele linked to the maternal X chromosome and a second coat color allele linked to the paternal X chromosome.

Since, the females possess two X chromosomes (XX), they can be either homozygous for each coat colour or be heterozygote (calico). But in the males, since this trait is X- linked and males have just the one X chromosome (XY), they can only possess either of the coat colour and not be an heterozygote. But an XXY male cat can be a calico due to the presence of the two X chromosomes.

Answer:

C) phenotypic plasticity

Explanation:

  • The ability of an organism to change phenotypically according to environmental conditions is known as <u>Phenotypic plasticity</u>.

Organisms might adjust their morphology and physiology to a better performance in environmental heterogeneity.

Generalists species might present a higher magnitude of phenotypic plasticity than specialist species.

  • Sulfur-reduction bacteria are obligated anaerobic microorganisms, that are <u><em>metabolically versatile</em></u><u><em>. </em></u>They might grow either as heterotrophs using organic molecules or as autotrophs using hydrogen and carbon dioxide.    

These bacteria are <u>notoriously adaptable</u> and <u>might be found in many different environments</u> (terrestrial and/or aquatics) where there is no oxygen due to aerobic decomposition of the organic matter.  

<em>They can be found in anoxic sulfuric environments. In the soil, in estuaries mud, in freshwater, in sewage systems, salty waters, thermal water, sulfur deposits, in oil and gas wells, and even in animals and insects intestine</em>.
