Fat (lipid) molecules are made up mostly of long chains of carbon atoms.
For a fat molecule to be considered saturated, the carbon chain must have only single bonds between them.
Schematically, they look like -C-C-C-C- ...
If the carbon chain contains one or more double bonds, such as -C=C-C-C, then the given lipid molecule is unsaturated.
If a lipid molecule (fatty acid) contains exactly one double bond in its chain, and the rest are single bonds, it is then called monosaturated. It is a more healthy food source than saturated fats.
Saturated fat are generally solid at room temperatures. Examples include lard, butter, mostly from animal sources. However, coconut oil (solid at room temperatures as well) is a saturated fat.
The answer to this would be D: physical components of the environment, such as rocks and sand. The word "biotic" mean all the living organisms within an ecosystem such as plants and animals.
Answer:
Answer for the question:
Which of the following statements about the phosphorus cycle is false? The main abiotic reservoir for phosphorus is in the soil. Plants release dissolved phosphate ions into the soil. Guano can be used by farmers to add phosphorus to the soil. Phosphates that drain from soils into the sea becomes part of new rock and will cycle back into living organisms.
is given below.
Explanation:
The correct answer is given below.
Soil is not the main reservoir for the phosphorous. The main antibiotic phosphorous is in the rocks.
