this type of fatty acid possesses a number of double bonds along its hydrocarbon tail
What are unsaturated fatty acids
400
The active transport of large molecules out of the cell
What is exocytosis

Daily double!!!

These two polysaccharides are chains of the same monomer. One is highly branched while the other is composed of straight chains. One provides energy storage in animals, while the other is a structural component of plants.
