Which statement best describes a difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats?

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)

Determine the correct order for the transmission of a signal through the nervous system.
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

A. I, IV, II, III, I

Explanation:

Living system can be defined as the internal systems of organisms and how materials circulate within organisms.

Generally, these living systems are self-organized life forms and are known to be very much interactive with their surroundings or environment. Also, living systems are dependent on the flow of information, matter and energy at various levels.

Some examples of living systems in organisms are respiratory system, nervous system, digestive system, and circulatory system.

Additionally, living systems comprises of the following components; cells, organs, muscle, tissues, blood, etc., which are typically used for carrying out various bodily functions such as respiration, metabolism, digestion, etc.

A sensory system can be defined as components of the central nervous system (CNS) which comprises of the brain, neural tissues or pathways and sensory neurons responsible for sensory functions, perception and processing sensory informations such as sound, light, heat, etc.

Basically, the central nervous system (CNS) interprete the neural signals that are generated from stimuli that are detected by the sensory system. The five (5) main sense organs in the sensory system are: skin, tongue, ears, nose and the eyes.

Generally, the nervous system found in living organisms such as humans, comprises of two (2) major components or systems; a central nervous system (CNS) and a peripheral nervous system (PNS).

The correct sequential order for the transmission of a signal through the nervous system;

1. Nerve impulse is triggered.

2. Synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitters.

3. Neurotransmitters diffuse across synaptic cleft.

4. Receptors bind neurotransmitters.

5. The whole process is started all over again when the nerve impulse is triggered.
