Whether or not the fatty acid has double or single covalent bonds

a fatty acid is saturated when only single bonds to H hold it together

a fatty acid is unsaturated when a double bond helps hold it together, this type of fatty acid becomes bent as a result

Answer:

The correct answer will be- double bond in fatty acids.

Explanation:

Two types of fatty acids are present in nature: saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

The saturated fatty acid is a molecule which gets saturated with the maximum number of hydrogen atoms the carbon skeleton can have whereas unsaturated fatty acid exhibit a double bond in their structure which cause the bending of the carbon skeleton due to different bending angle.

The double bond provides different shape to the unsaturated fatty acid which is absent in the saturated fatty acids.

Thus, the double bond in a fatty acid is the correct answer.

You decide to repeat the Meselson-Stahl experiment, except this time you plan to grow the E. coli cells on light 14N medium for
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

A) One band of intermediate density and one band of heavy density.

Explanation:

According to semi conservative model of replication the two DNA strands separate during replication such that the new DNA molecule has one parental strand and one new strand. In this experiment, originally E.Coli cells were grown in 14N medium so all the DNA strands had 14N. When the medium was changed to 15N, only 15N would be available to the cells for replication.

After first round of replication all DNA molecules would be of intermediate density as one strand would be old 14N strand and another would be new 15N strand. After second round of replication 15N strand would be formed from both 14N strand and 15N strand. So, one band will be formed of intermediate density (14N-15N) and another would be of heavier density (15N-15N).

Which blood vessels permit the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, nutrients, and waste products with body cells?
Greeley [361]

Answer: Capillaries

Explanation: Blood vessels have the same basic structures used to circulate blood of different composition to and away from the heart to the body. Blood vessels are arteries, veins and capillaries. Arteries carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the body and veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues to the heart.

Capillaries are the ones that work with body cells for exchange.They collect nutrients and oxygen from the blood to the cell and also collect carbon dioxide and waste from the cell to the blood which is transported to the vein where it travels via the venous system and goes through the heart, then to the lungs for gaseous exchange.

Therefore the enswer is, capillaries.
