Between 1962 and 1971, the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) channeled the Kissimmee River and created a 30-foot deep, 300-foot wide, 56 mile long drainage canal (C-38). This project converted 44% of the floodplain to pasture, draining approximately 31,000 acres of wetlands. Before channelization, the River was a haven for wildlife, including at least 39 species of fish and 38 species of water birds.
Kissimmee River Restoration began in 1992 and has been the most successful ecosystem restoration initiative to date. By re-channelizing the River to replicate its natural paths, birds and other wildlife responded more quickly than anticipated and demonstrated the resiliency of nature. This success has been used all over the world to justify the value of ecosystem restoration. When Kissimmee River Restoration is completed in 2015, more than 40 square miles of the River-floodplain ecosystem will be restored, including almost 20,000 acres of wetlands and 44 miles of historic river channel.

<span>The basic building blocks of a cell membrane are phospholipids. Phospholipids contain a hydrophobic (insoluble in water) end made up of two fatty acid chains of nonpolar molecules such as carbons and hydrogens. The other end is hydrophobic (soluble in water) and contains polar phosphate molecules. These phospholipids are arranged in a bilayer with their hydrophilic end group exposed to water on each side of the membrane and the hydrophobic nonpolar molecules protected inside the double layer. </span>
Answer:
They contain fewer double bonds.
Explanation:
Coconut oil contain saturated lauric acid, saturated myristic acid, saturated caprylic acid, saturated decanoic acid and unsaturated oleic acid.
Palm oil contains saturated myristic, palmitic and steric acid. It also contains oleic monounsaturated acid and linoleic polyunsaturated acid.
They are semisolid at room temperature. Oil is that type of lipids which is liquid at room temperature due to the presence of saturated fatty acid. Both type of oil mention in text have high degree of saturation and are semi solid at room temperature .
Hope this helped!
