Saturated fats have all of the following characteristics except:
they are solid at room temperature
they have single bonds within the carbon chain
they are usually obtained from animal sources
they tend to dissolve in water easily
Phospholipids are important components of ________.
the plasma membrane of cells

Large bodies of water, such as lakes and oceans, do not quickly fluctuate in temperature. What is the reason for this phenomenon?
Water is an acid.
Water is a versatile solvent.
Water has a high specific heat.
Water acts as a buffer.
Water is able to dissolve sodium chloride because
The polar areas of water molecules attract the oppositely charged ions of sodium chloride
The shape of the water molecules pushes the sodium and chloride ions apart
The oxygen in the water molecules reacts with the sodium and chloride ions
Water molecules and sodium chloride are covalently bonded
