Answer:

The five categories of vertebral column are:

  1. Cervical
  2. Thoracic
  3. Lumbar
  4. sacrum
  5. coccyx.

Explanation:

The 26 vertebrae of the spine or vertebral column are classified into five categories based on the structural differences between them. The first category is cervical and is made of seven cervical vertebrae. The spines of cervical vertebrae are shorter than that of others and have bifurcations.  

The next category is the thoracic and is made of twelve thoracic vertebrae. Thoracic vertebrae are followed by lumbar region made up of 5 lumbar vertebrae. Spines of thoracic vertebrae are longer and are directed downwards while that of the lumbar vertebrae project towards the posterior region. the sacrum is present below the lumbar region and consists of five fused sacral vertebrae. The last category of spine is coccyx. It has four fused coccygeal vertebrae.

How do ETS reactions produce ATP?
Norma-Jean [14]

ATP synthesization -  Simple and complex lipids or carbohydrates are used to produce ATP through redox reactions. After the hydrolysis of complex carbohydrates, glucose and fructose are formed and the triglycerides are metabolized to form glycerol and fatty acids. ATP is then synthesized by oxidative phosphorylation and photophosphorylation during the energy production with in the living organisms. ATP production usually takes place in the mitochondria of the cell.  The important pathways by which ATP is generated are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle (or the Kreb’s cycle), and the electron transport chain (or the oxidative phosphorylation pathway).  In these three cycles of  cellular respiration  adenosine diphosphate (ADP) is converted  to ATP and energy is released  from molecules.

Put the fats in order from the one that contains the greatest percentage of saturated fatty acids (1) to the one that contains t
olganol [36]

Answer:coconut oil, butter, palm oil, olive oil, canola oil.

Explanation: .

A saturated fat one whose fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds. A fat is made of two kinds of smaller molecules which are glycerol and fatty acids. Fats are made of long chains of carbon (C) atoms while some carbon atoms are linked by single bonds (-C-C-) bonds others are linked by double bonds (-C=C-). These Double bonds will react with hydrogen to form single bonds causing them to be SATURATED, because when the second bond is broken, each half of the bond is then saturated with a hydrogen atom.

In terms of saturated fats acids composition by percentage according to ChartsBin statistics collector team 2011, Fat Composition in different Cooking Oils, ChartsBin.com, palm oil is 14.192, coconut oil is 91.92 canola is 7.46,palm oil 51.57, butter 65%-68%.Here you can see that the order of saturated fats from the highest gives- Coconut,butter, palm oil,olive oil and Canola as the last
