Which type of bond is found in many carbon-to-carbon bonds in canola oil, but very few carbon-to-carbon bonds in butter?

1 answer:

9 0

C=C, the double carbon bond creates a kink in the chain of carbons, and prevents the fats from stacking neatly and forming a solid. The double carbon bonds present in canola oil are why it is a liquid at room temperature, while the lack of such bonds in butter allows for the molecules to lay flat on one another, making butter a solid.

Arboreal animals are animals that live in trees

Arboreal animals are animals that spend most of their lives in trees. This group of animals play, eat and sleep in the tree canopy. Examples of arboreal animals include monkeys, tree snakes, possums, koalas, parrots sloths, chameleons and many rodents. These animals have special adaptations such as elongated limbs and long tails, feet and claws and special movement pattern that aid their arboreal lifestyles.

Factorize this polynomial function <br>x³-7x+6<br>Hint:x³-7x+6=0

dolphi86 [110]

Answer:

(x - 1)(x - 2)(x + 3)

Explanation:

f(x)=x3-7x+6 Since (a + b + c + d = 0), then f(1) = 0 --> one factor if (x - 1).

After division -->

f(x)=(x-1)(x2f2+x-6). The trinomial in parentheses can be factored.

Find 2 numbers knowing sum (1) and product (-6). They are -2 and 3.

Therefor, f(x)=(x-1)(x-2)(x+3)

Why do resistant bacteria multiply faster after a patient has taken antibiotics compared to a healthy person who has not taken a

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

When patient takes in antibiotics the resistance bacteria gets a competitive survival advantage over the normal sensitive bacteria and hence grows faster.

Explanation:

Bacteria can acquire resistance by taking in plasmids containing MDR (Multi-Drug Resistance) gene cassettes. The MDR genes produces proteins that can:

Render the antibiotic ineffective to act on its target by inducing chemical modifications on the drug.
Promote efflux of the drug from the bacterial cell so that the drug cannot act upon its target.

When a healthy person ( having no prior exposure to the antibiotic) is infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties):

A competition develops for the host cells and nutrients between the sensitive and the resistant variety.
This mutual competition restricts either of the sensitive or resistant bacterial strain to grow profusely.

When a person (having prior antibiotic exposure), gets infected by bacteria ( both sensitive and resistant varieties) and is exposed to the same antibiotic:

The sensitive variety, due to its sensitivity towards the drug, gets killed.
The resistant variety, due to its MDR genes, bypasses the lethal effect of the drug and survives.
These surviving resistant bacteria can now infect all the available host cells and utilise all the available nutrients without facing any competition and multiply rapidly.
