Answer:

The correct answer is E. Arachidonic acid is the raw material for synthesis of eicosanoids.

Explanation:

Arachidonic acid is an essential omega-6 fatty acid formed by a 20-carbon chain with four double bonds. The presence of double bonds causes this molecule to have several sites that can be oxidized, allowing the formation of different lipids with different biological activities.

Arachidonic acid is part of phospholipids in cell membranes, and is the precursor of eicosanoid biosynthesis. Arachidonic acid can be synthesized from linoleic acid, one of the essential fatty acids required by most mammals.

After having the chicken pox vaccine, Marta went to a party where someone had the chicken pox virus. Which best describes why Ma
trasher [3.6K]
B. is the correct answer. It makes sense too because vaccines are usually inserted in a vein, which is where the bloodstream is. With all of this medicine in your body, the virus will come into the body, the body will recognize what the virus is, sending out the antibodies from the vaccine into the bloodstream and all around, then the virus is dead. :)
