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)

What types of food would test positive result for carbohydrates proteins fats?
Any food that has carbohydrate, protein, and fats can be shown positive for those food test. It is basically a chemical reaction that indicate the presence of food component by a specific color formation.

Is polypeptide chain a lipid carbohydrate protein or nucleic acid?
Neither, a carbohydrate is a sugar, proteins are amino acids, lipids are fats! Nucleotides are what make DNA and RNA! They are considered a monomer
How do you describe Lipids as structure?

What do the chemical structures of carbohydrates and fats have in common and how do they differ?
(mostly) composed of C, H and O
What three chemical elements always found in carbohydrate fats and protein?
They all have Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen in them. Proteins also have Nitrogen in them.
How can you tell if fat is saturated?
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their chemical structure. They are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms. Because of their chemical structure, they have a solid consistency at room temperature.
Trans fats are considered even worse than saturated fats because trans fats are?
Trans fats have a different structure than saturated fats, specifically the chemical structure is more rigid, allowing them to be solids at room temperature and thus not easily broken down or digested in the body.
What determines whether or not a substance is a fat or an oil?
The chemical composition of fats and oils are somewhat similar. They differ in appearance, as fats usually refer to solids and oils are liquids.
How does the structure of proteins differ from the structure of carbohydrates?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
How do proteins differ from fats (lipids) in their chemical composition?
Proteins, carbohydrates and fats (lipids) all have the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen in them. However, on top of that, protein ALSO has nitrogen in it, and this is how it differs.
