What are the structural units of lipids?
the basic unit off of lipids is glcouse and energy
Which macromolecules have a basic unit that composed of phospate a sugar ring and one of five different bases?
nucleic acids
Do glycerol and fatty acids have an amino group?
no amino acid is not a fatty acid this is because of the following reasons 1- due to the difference of functional group i.e Amino acid has two functional groups one is amino group (-NH2) and other is carboxylic group (-COOH) while in fatty acid (-RCOOH) only carboxylic group are present. 2-Amino acid is the sub-unit of protein while Fatty acid is the sub-unit of lipids(FATS).
What is the monomer of a protein polymer?
The monomers of proteins are known as amino acids....A further explanation:Do not confuse amino acids with nucleic acids. Nucleic acids are DNA and RNA and are another one of the BIG 4 macromolecules that are needed to survive.The 4 are:Carbohydrates (monomer: monosaccaride)Proteins (monomer: amino acids)Lipids (monomer: fatty acids)Nucleic Acids (monomer: nucleotides)
What are the monomers for fats and oils?
Fat is not a polymere, however most fats are threefold esters of glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) and three (different) long chain fatty acids.Example:stearine (or tristearin, or glyceryl tristearate) is made by esterfication (three times):C3H5(OH)3 + 3 C17H35COOH → C3H5(C18H35O2)3 + 3 H2O
What Fatty acids are the basic unit macromolecules?
Lipids
Nucleotides are the basic unit of which macromolecules?
Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA)
Fatty acids are the basic unit of what macromolecule?
Lipids
What subunits are used to make 4 macromolecules?
The subunit of carbohydrates is glucose.The subunit of nucleic acids is a nucleotide. The sub unit for protein is an amino acid. Lipid sub units are fatty acids and gylcerol.
Is amino acid the basic unit of life with respect to chemistry?
Well, there are technically four macromolecules essential to life...they are the lipids, nucleic acids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Amino acids correspond to the proteins, so yes, they are a basic unit of life. However, they are not the only basic unit, because there are others. See, life could not exist as we know it without amino acids, but couldn't with justamino acids as well.
What are the structural units of lipids?
the basic unit off of lipids is glcouse and energy
Which macromolecules are nucleotides the base unit of?
They are the nucleic acids. Some examples are DNA and RNA
What Nucleotides are the basic unit of macromolecules?
DNA and RNA
Which macromolecules have a basic unit that composed of phospate a sugar ring and one of five different bases?
nucleic acids
Are fatty acids sub-units of carbohydrates?
No. The sub-units for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose. Fatty acids are what results from the sub-unit aliphatic compounds and glycerol.
What is the sub-unit that makes up fats.?
Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycogen
What is a basic unit of fat?
A basic unit of fat is a triglyceride. It is primarily made up of a fatty acid and three glycerol molecules
