The distances to be traveled are so great that even light or radio waves take a while getting there. It takes around eight minutes for radio waves to travel from the Earth to the Sun, and four years to get from here to the nearest star.ctually, radio waves travel very quickly through space. Radio waves are a kind of electromagnetic radiation, and thus they move at the speed of light. The speed of light is a little less than 300,000 km per second. At that speed, a beam of light could go around the Earth at the equator more then 7 times in a second.
The fatty acids found in MCTs are called medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs). Like all triglycerides, MCTs are composed of a glycerol backbone and three fatty acids.In the case of MCTs, 2 or 3 of the fatty acid chains attached to glycerol are medium-chain in length.Rich sources for commercial extraction of beneficial MCTs include palm kernel oil and coconut oil.ike all triglycerides, MCTs are composed of a glycerol backbone and three fatty acids.

Overview. Medium-chain triglycerides, or MCT, are triglycerides with a fatty acid chain length of six to 10 carbon atoms, according to a 2010 study in the International Journal of Food Sciences and Nutrition..hoto Credit joannawnuk/iStock/Getty Images. Coconut oil is a good source of medium-chain triglycerides, according to the Center for Science in the Public Interest. A report in Medical News Today states that coconut oil is not stored in the fat and also may boost metabolism.
