The kind of lipid that forms when a glycerol combines with fatty acids through dehydration synthesis is the trigylceride. It is also known as a triacylglycerol. It is compound that is formed from a glycerol molecule and three molecules of fatty acid. It is synthesized by the reaction dehydration synthesis wherein water is the by-product of the process. The -OH from the functional group of glycerol are detached and the fatty acids would attach to it forming the triglyceride. A dehydration synthesis involves the combining of smaller molecules to be able to form a larger molecule and along with it water molecules are being released. It is also known as a condensation reaction.

Which came first: sexual or asexual reproduction?

If i remember correctly asexual reproduction came first because without asexual reproduction the cells would not have been able to produce other cells so what few cells there were reproduced asexually and then it evolved onto sexual reproduction later in development

Answer:

Reading graphs: The variable plotted on the x-axis is year while the two variables plotted on y-axis are both wolves and moose.

Interpreting variables: The population of moose rose from 800 to 1550 between 1965-1972 while the population of wolves rose from 24 to 43 between 1973-1976.

inferring: The change in population of moose might cause a change in wolves population as a result of the feeding pattern of wolves, perhaps the contest between them was affected by availability of another prey which allows the predator (wolves) to feed on another prey, hence increasing the population of moose.

Conclusion: The dip in population of moose between 1974 and 1981 could be attributed to voracious feeding pattern the predator (wolves) had on the prey (moose) which inturns allows the dip in population during the above mentioned years.

Predicting: If there is a disease infection in wolves, then there would be an increase in the population of moose the next year as a result of disruption in the predator-prey contest, hence; allows one to be more populated the following year.

Explanation:

From the above assertions, it could be deduced that only when the feeding pattern of the predator (wolves) changes then the population of the prey would either be reduced or increased.

In the case of the salt NaCl, chloride (Cl-) gives up an electron that is taken by sodium (Na+), this is an example of

usually, ionic bond occurs between metal and non metal

here Na is metal and Cl is non metal

so bond in NaCl is ionic bond

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

It wil swell and burst

Explanation:

"pure" water is only H2O so there are no solutes, because of osmosis, water will enter the red blood cell that does contain solutes until the cell and the surrounding environment (in this case the water) are iso-osmotic, this will never happen though because the water contains no solutes.
