Alright, in a solid, the particles are tightly packed together in an orderly manner and they only vibrate about in fixed positions. in order to overcome the forces of attraction, heat must be applied. example you want to melt iron to molten state, you must heat it up until the forces of attraction in between the particles weaken so that they'll become so called molten *liquid(?)*. in the molten state the particles are still packed closely together but not a tightly as in solid and they have no regular arrangement and the particles slide past one another.
I hope this helps sorry that it's long
When you have the bottom measurement of the triangle (base) and the height of the triangle in the center, you multiply them together and then divide by 2.
~Do you need more explaining~?
Answer:
a. See figure 1
b. See figure 2
c. Three cycles
d. Four Acetyl-CoAs
Explanation:
<u>a. Draw the condensed structural formula for the activated form of caprylic acid</u>
<u />
For the activation of the fatty acid, an ATP molecule is needed to bind AMP in the acid group and then an Acetyl-CoA molecule to generate the <u>activated fatty acid</u>. (See figure 1)
<u>b. Indicate the α- & β-carbon atoms in caprylic acid</u>
<u />
By definition, the alpha and beta carbons are the carbons that are in positions 2 and 3 respectively to the main carbon. In this case, the main carbon is the carbon from the acid group, therefore the <u>alpha carbon</u> will be carbon 2 (red arrow) and the <u>beta carbon</u> will be carbon 3 (blue arrow). (See figure 2).
<u>c. State the number of β-oxidation cycles for the complete oxidation of caprylic acid.</u>
<u />
To calculate the cycles we have to use the equation:
<u />
, where n is the amount of carbons, in this case, we have 8 carbons, so:
<u>
</u>
<u>We will have 3 cycles</u>. (See figure 3)
<u>d. State the number of acetyl-CoAs from the complete oxidation of caprylic acid</u>
In the β-oxidation metabolic cycle, we have a relationship between Acetyl-CoA produced and the number of carbons:
if n=8 we will have:
<u>We will have 4 Acetyl-CoAs</u>.

Whitecap waves are caused by the wind, while swells are caused by surface gravity.
The answer is B hope it helps pls mark branliest
