What color is glycerol?
Glycerol is colorless.
Why is glycerol solid at room temperature?
Glycerol can be as a solid at low temperatures.they are not solid, but highly viscous. It is the physical property of Glycerol
Is glycerol singular or plural?
Glycerol is singular. The noun glycerol is an uncountable (mass) noun, a word for a substance.
What is the 3-carbon backbone of a fat?
the glycerol is attached to 3 fatty acids
What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
Do lipids have a nitrogen base?
No. Lipids are composed of a "backbone" of glycerol and three carboxylic acid groups of varying length. Both glycerol and carboxylic acids contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Does glycerol have an amino group?
No. An amino group contains one nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms, and are found in amino acids. Glycerol is a molecule that when bonded to three fatty acids, forms a triglyceride molecule.
What color is glycerol?

Is glycerol a discaccharide?
No, glycerol is subunit of lipids.

What two molecules combine to form lipids?
glycerol and carboxylic acid combines to form a lipids.
What is glycerol found in?
Glycerol is found in all fats.
Which is NOT a smaller subunit of a nucleotide?
Glycerol is not a subunit of nucleotides. Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides and phospholipids (types of lipids).
How do the chemical structure of a carbohydrate differ from that of fats?
Totally different compounds. Glycerol doesnt have any nitrogen whereas glycine does for example. Glycine is 1 of the 20 amino acids that make up proteins. look at them in wikipedia. Glycerol (C3H8O3) , glycine (C2H5NO2)
Glycerol what it is made of?
Glycerol is made of carbon,hydrogen, & oxygen
