    Can anyone tell me why the number of molecules the triglyceride is formed is 4 and not 3? Is it due to one of the molecules having a double bond, this is question 1bi)

    Also for 5bii) what is the stroke volume? and why? Thanks

    Stroke volume = 93 because 148-55 = 93.

    What I don't understand is why it is 93, do you not take into account the other ventricle "shows the volume of blood in a man’s right ventricle at different times during one cardiac cycle" so you have to take into account the left ventricle as well? Or do you not?

    Wouldn't have thought so as its only the blood from the left ventricle being sent round the body so that's the stroke volume

    I see but then why does the table show data for the right ventricle?
