7 0

Answer: Option C.

C)the tails of plant lipids cannot pack as tightly together as animal ones

Explanation:

The tails of plant lipids cannot pack as tightly together as animal ones because the double bond in plant lipids make the hydrocarbon chains to bend making them no to pack tightly together which cause a reduction in van der Waals interaction between the fatty acids. The length of the double bond also affect the melting point of fatty acids . If the hydrocarbon chain is long, melting point will be high .

Due to climate and soil factors, in what biome would you expect to find the fewest burrowing animals
V125BC [204]
Swamps or maybe those in the desert.  In swamps, the soil is too loose for animals to burrow without it caving in.  In deserts, since the climate "rising" its getting to hot and dry for animals to burrow without the sand caving in when an animal walks above it.

Saliva is watery substance secreted by salivatory glands. <em>It cleanses the mouth</em> and maintenance oral hygiene. <em>It moistens the food</em>, so the created food bolus could easier pass into the esophagus. It also <em>carries food chemicals to taste receptors</em> so they can be tested. It contains enzymes involved in the food digestions. Some of them are amylase, which begins the breakdown of the starch, and lipase, which begins the breakdown of triglycerides. <u>There are no enzymes in the saliva that break down proteins</u>.</span>

Is the practice of genetically modifying human cells ethical? Why or why not?
kumpel [21]

It totally depends upon whether modification is being done in somatic cells or germ cells. Somatic cells modification is ethically accepted because it doesn't pass from one generation to another generation but germline modification is considered as unethical because the modification will pass on to the next generation leading to the persistence of modification in future generations. The problem with genetic modifications is that the impacts of modifications are unpredictable, rather than being fruitful they may lead to lethal mutations so if it occurs in just somatic cells, then even if it is lethal/harmful, it will be confined to only that individual but if a lethal mutation occurs in germ cells then it will pass on to the subsequent generations and it will persist in all future generations.
