Why does a cis fatty acid have a kinked shape?

Biology

Answer:

Steric hindrance in the cis orientation causes the chain to take on a more bent shape. Most natural unsaturated fatty acids are in the cis conformation. As can be seen in Figure 2.327, the cis fatty acids have a more of kinked shape, which means they do not pack together as well as the saturated or trans fatty acids

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

3/32 ttyyR-

Explanation:

Cross: Tall, Yellow, Rounded individuals with a tall, green, rounded individual

Parentals) TtYyRr x TtyyRr

Gametes) TYR, TyR, TYr, Tyr, tYR, tyR, tYr, tyr (Parent one)

TyR, TyR, Tyr, Tyr, tyR, tyR, tyr, tyr (Parent two)

We need to know what proportion of offspring is expected to be short plants with round, green seeds. So we need to identify the gametes for these traits. The genotypes are:

Shot → tt
Round → RR or Rr
Green → yy

⇒ Parent one can provide gametes tyR and tyr

⇒ Parent two can provide gametes tyR and tyr

(1/8 tyR x 2/8 tyR) + (1/8 tyR x 2/8 tyr) + (1/8 tyr x 2/8 tyR) =

2/64 ttyyRR + 2/64 ttyyRr + 2/64 ttyyRr =

1/32 ttyyRR + 2/32 ttyyRr =

3/32 ttyyR-

The ______________________ picks up whole and partial neurotransmitters from the synaptic gap and brings them into the terminal

Verdich [7]

The vesicles pick up whole and partial neurotransmitters from the synaptic gap and bring them into the terminal button, where other structures recycle these neurotransmitters for future use.

Within the presynaptic terminals is where the synthesis of the small-molecule neurotransmitters takes place. A process known as slow axonal transport is responsible for moving enzymes from the neuronal cell body to the cytoplasm of nerve terminals at a rate of 0.5–5 millimetres each day. These enzymes are necessary for the production of transmitters and are produced in the neuronal cell body. Transporter proteins, which are typically located in the plasma membrane of the nerve terminal, are the ones responsible for bringing the precursor chemicals that these synthetic enzymes use into the terminal. Enzymes produce a neurotransmitter pool in the cytoplasm, which must then be loaded into synaptic vesicles using transport proteins in the vesicular membrane. Within the synaptic vesicles, the final synthetic steps of the production of certain small-molecule neurotransmitters are actually carried out.

Answer:

A PICC line is a long catheter inserted through the veins of the antecubital fossa.

Explanation:

PICC (peripherally inserted central catheter) that are mainly used as a part of chemotherapy for the administration of the particular substances. This can be used for the long period of time in the individual.

The long catheter is inserted in the body through the skin mainly at the peripheral site of the body. This can be inserted for the weeks depending on the severity of treatment. The veins of the antecubital fossa is used for the insertion of the tube.

Thus, the correct answer is option (3).
