A phospholipid typically contains two fatty acids.

Explanation:

  • Phospholipids are a major component of cell membranes and consist of a glycerol backbone, two fatty acid tails, and a phosphate group attached to a polar head group.
  • The two fatty acids are hydrophobic and form the non-polar tails of the phospholipid, while the phosphate group forms the hydrophilic head.
  • This structure allows phospholipids to form bilayers in aqueous environments, which is essential for the formation of cell membranes.

In summary, the answer is that a phospholipid contains two fatty acids.

How does sample size affect the potential for extreme sampling error? The possible sampling error ranges from to . (Round to two decimal places as needed. Use ascending order.) How does sample size affect the potential for extreme sampling error? A. As the sample size increases, the range of sampling error increases. B. Sample size has no effect on the sampling error. C. As the sample size increases, the sampling error becomes more negative. D. As the sample size increases, the sampling error becomes more positive. E. As the sample size increases, the range of sampling error decreases.

Thank you for sharing your experience, it must have been difficult to face such a serious decision about your mother's care. The Schiavo case shows the emotional and ethical complexities involved in end of life choices especially when the patient's wishes are not clearly documented. How do you think we can better support families facing similar situations to ensure their loved one's wishes are respected?
