Answer:

Any sort of prexisting rock whether sedimentary, igneous, or even metamorphic rock must change under extreme conditions like extreme heat or pressure.

Explanation:

An igneous rock is a rock that has been created via cooling of magma.

A sedimentary rock is formed from sediments, whether they be natural like seashells, or other pieces of older rocks that have worn away. usually formed under pressure.

A metamorphic rock is a rock that's changed, because it was put under extreme pressure or exposed to extreme heat.

Think of the part morphic in the word metamorphic-it literally means that it morphed or that it changed dramatically.

There are two ways for a rock to become metamorphic under extreme pressure or extreme heat. and there are two types of metamorphic rocks, contact metamorphism and regional metamorphism.

Those mean pretty much exactly what they say.

If you have any more questions, ask, but i think I covered the most important parts of the answer.

best of luck

Saturated fats have long straight tails of fatty acids, while unsaturated fats from vegetables have kinks in their tails due to

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Saturated fats/ solid fats

Explanation:

Vegetable oils amongst other unsaturated oils are liquids at room temperature while saturated oils are solids or spreadable at room temperature.

Industrially, vegetable oils are hydrogenated; hydrogenation is the process of adding hydrogen to an unsaturated compound to make it saturated. This then makes these hydrogenated vegetable oil, saturated which makes them solids as earlier stated, they are also called cis - fatty acids.

Trans - fatty acids as well are also unsaturated oils which are hydrogenated industrially to give saturated fatty acids which are called artificial tran-fats. They are found in most commonly found in baked and fried goods.

The cell membrane is a double membrane made of ____________ that have their water-soluble heads facing the interior and exterior

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Phospholipids.

Explanation:

Phospholipids are the lipids that have both polar and nonpolar components in their structure. They have a glycerol molecule to which a phosphate group is bonded. This makes their polar head. Two fatty acid chains are also linked to the glycerol of phospholipids which in turn make their nonpolar tails. The membranes have two layers of phospholipids. The polar heads of the two layers face the surroundings watery medium. On the other hand, the non-polar tails of phospholipids of a bilayer are oriented towards the inner core of the membrane.
