Detergent molecules consist of a small polar group and a long nonpolar tail.  These molecules are able to trap grease and help to wash it away because in water, they create spheres that are polar on the outside and nonpolar on the inside.  These spheres are known as

Ammonia decomposes into nitrogen and hydrogen gases by the following equation: NH3 (l)

The image below shows two different fatty acid molecules.  Molecule [B] has a trans double bond.  Molecule [A] would most likely be found in nature.    

By the time carbohydrates have passed through the stomach and intestines, they have been broken down into single sugars such as glucose.  At the same time fats that pass through the stomach and intestines have been broken down into fatty acids.  The image below shows various examples of fatty acids.  Briefly describe why glucose can diffuse directly into the blood and fatty acids cannot.
