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.

DNA from one species differs from the DNA of another species in its
Firlakuza [10]
The correct option is A.
The DNA from one specie differ from the DNA of another specie on the basis of their base ratio. The base ratio refers to the percentage of purine to pyrimidine in a DNA molecule. The base ratio is the one that is responsible for the variability that is observed in chromosomes from different species.

2. If 10% of the bases in a molecule of DNA are adenine, what is the ratio of adenine to guanine in the same
sertanlavr [38]

Answer: Option D) 1:4

Explanation:

Recall that the sum of all nitrogenous bases in the DNA nucleotide is equal to 100%. And specific base pairings of Adenine to Thymine (A=T), and Cytosine to Guanine (C=G) must be equal.

So, the percentage of Adenine equal thymine, and that of cytosine equals guanine.

Now, A + T + C + G = 100%

So, if adenine makes up 10% of the DNA nucleotides, then thymine is also 10%.

Then, 10% + 10% + C + G = 100%

20% + C + G = 100%

C + G = 100% - 20% = 80%

Thus, divide 80% by 2 to obtain the individual percentage of cytosine and guanine. Each will take 40%

Ratio Adenine to Guanine is 10% to 40%

or 1:4 in simplest form

Why do cats purr?///////////////
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Cats also purr when they are nervous or in pain, leading some experts to believe that this uniquely feline vocalization is actually a method of self-healing. A domestic cat's purr has a frequency of between 25 and 150 Hertz, which happens to be the frequency at which muscles and bones best grow and repair themselves.
