Answer: saturated

Explanation:

Lipids comprise a class of organic compounds characterized by high solubility in nonpolar organic solvents. This property occurs due to the expressive hydrocarbon component which is also responsible for the oily property of the molecule. Fatty acids can be classified as saturated and unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds in their chains, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds.

The physical properties of a fatty acid depend on the length of the hydrocarbon chain and the degree of unsaturation. Thus the melting points of saturated fatty acids increase as their molecular mass increases due to the increased van der Waals interactions between molecules.

Why are populations, rather than individuals, the units of evolution?
dimulka [17.4K]

Explanation:

The unit of evolution is the population. A population consists of organisms of the same species that live in the same area. In terms of evolution, the population is assumed to be a relatively closed group. This means that most mating takes place within the population.

Lactobacillus in yogurt, some Escherichia coli in the intestines of humans and animals, and Rhizobium that fixes atmosphere nitr
alisha [4.7K]

Answer: a. True.

Explanation:

<em>Lactobacillus </em>is a genus of gram-positive, facultative or microaerophilic bacteria that produce lactic acid. <u>They are normally found in different parts of the body such as the mouth, digestive tract and vagina</u>. Lactobacilli usually do not cause disease, although they can cause dental caries. Some lactobacilli have a homofermentative metabolism, that is, they produce lactic acid from sugars, which makes their environment acidic and inhibits the growth of pathogenic bacteria. Some species of Lactobacillus are used in the industry for the production of yogurt, cheese and other fermented foods.

<em>Escherichia coli</em> is a bacterium that is part of the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract of various animals. It is a gram-negative bacillus, facultative anaerobe, and the most abundant commensal of the microbiota of the gastrointestinal tract where, together with other microorganisms, it is essential for the correct functioning of the digestive process. It also participates in the production of B and K vitamins.

<em>Rhizobium </em>is a genus of gram-negative soil bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen and live in symbiosis with certain plants (such as leguminous plants) in their roots, after a process of infection induced by the plant itself through the secretion of lectin, to which they provide the nitrogen necessary for the plant to live and which in return gives it shelter. Fixation is the combination of molecular nitrogen (N2) with hydrogen or oxygen to give ammonium or oxides that are incorporated into the biosphere. Molecular nitrogen, which is the major component of the atmosphere, is inert and not directly usable by most living things. Therefore, it involves the incorporation of a significant amount of nitrogen into the biosphere.

<u>Therefore, all three are considered beneficial</u>.
