3.which organelle in eukaryotic cells is involved in lipids synthesis
4.How are dietary fats transported in blood

why is ammonium toxic in higher animals?
The structure of cis and trans oleic acid (C18: 1) is shown in the figure below. They both are 18 carbon fatty acids with one double bond between C9 and CIO.
fis tnnd: O" acid
trans double O" m-id
The melting point of cis oleic acid is 13.4 degrees C and that of trans oleic acid is 44.5 degrees C. Explain this difference in their melting temperatures
Soap (detergents) are bipolar or amphipathic molecules. They have a polar head group and a non-polar tail (fatty acyl group). Soap bubbles contain air inside them as well as air is present outside them. Draw a diagram to show how soap (detergent) molecules will organize in a bubble. (hint: air is non-polar, thin film ofwater making the soap bubble is polar)
