Biology

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Unsaturated fats are fats that have one or more carbon-carbon double bond in their chain. The double bond causes the molecule to bend. The molecules do not stack well, which causes the intermolecular forces to be much weaker than those of saturated fats. This causes the melting points to be lower for unsaturated fats.

Hope that helps.

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Saturated fats have no double bonds, only single bonds between their carbons. This fact enables them to "stack" efficiently and pack tightly, which means the molecule has a high melting point and remains solid even at a relatively high temperature. Butter or bacon fat will definitely solidify in the fridge, and often stay solid outside the fridge.

Therefore unsaturated fats have double bonds (eliminate A and C) and a lower melting point (eliminate D)

Alexxandr [17]

Canine teeth are not as useful as it is in animals while archaeopteryx has the character of both birds and reptiles.

<h3>What are vestigial organs?</h3>

The vestigial organs are those organs that have no apparent function in the body which means that the body can do without them.

Examples of vestigial organs in the body are:

  • appendix

  • wisdom teeth

The canine teeth is a type of teeth in mammalian dentition and is said to be vestigial because man can do without it.

Archaeopteryx are animals that has the characteristics of both birds and reptiles because it bears wings like birds and has hands it uses to crawl like a reptile.

1. Explain the relationship between the loss of Arctic ice and the
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

As the ice melts in the arctic regions, the arctic sea levels and the other oceans stay the same. The weather however changes when this happens and results to the Greenland's melting ice sheet adding another 20 feet to sea level rise.

In summary, the melting of polar ice caps effects would result in sea levels rising around 220 feet or more worldwide.

This will lead to destruction of lives, houses and properties due to water submersion.
