300

What is the structural difference between saturated and unsaturated fats? 

The carbons in saturated fats have all their hydrogen requirements met. The carbons in unsaturated fats have to make double bonds in order to meet their requirements, which leads to kinks in the fatty acid chains.

Name the three steps of homeostatic regulation and what happens at each. 

Receptor: receives information about change in environment 

Control center: receives and processes information from receptor 

Effector: responds to signals from control center by either opposing or enhancing a stimulus 

500
