Lipids can do tons of things. They make up the lipid bi-layer in a cell membrane.)Lipids are insoluble by water, so they won't just dissolve) There isn't just one function for lipids.

What smaller molecules are fats made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
What happens when fat is heated for a long time?
Depending on the temperature fat will eventually become a mass of carbon and assorted molecules.
Fatty acids are the basic unit of which macromolecules?
Fat. One fat molecule has three fatty acids and a glycerol attached together.
What has a glycerol backbone and 3 fatty acids?
maybe "Triglyceride"
How many bars of soap can be made from body fat?
One fat molecule equals three soap molecules.
Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
What are the molecular units of fat molecules?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the?
Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the small intestines.
Are staurated fat molecules stronger or weaker than unsaturated fats?
saturated fat molecules are much stronger than unsaturated fat molecules due to the "saturation" of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon molecules. such molecules are therefore inherently stable and require and enormous amount of energy to release the hydrogen molecules from the sequestered carbon.
How are fat molecules turned into fatty acids?
Fat Molecules can't be turned into fatty acids, because fatty acids are part of the elemental formula to create fat molecules. Three fat molecules and a glycerol molecule create a fat molecule. Remember each molecule isn't one thing, a molecule are two or more atoms connected in some way.
What type of molecules is fat?
lipid
Water washes out fat?
No it does not. Water consists of polar molecules, while fat consists of non-polar molecules. This means that water will not wash fat out of anything. To wash fat out of something, it is necessary to use soap.
What breaks up fat molecules?
bile
Why do non polar molecules dissolve in fat?
non polar molecules dissolve in fat due to the fact that fat is also a nonpolar molecule, and have u ever heard of the saying "like dissolves in like" well non polar molecules dissolve in other non polar molecules. Hope that helps
What element is in every amino acid molecules except carbonhydrate and fat molecules?
Nitrogen.
What are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules?
lipases
What smaller molecules are fats made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
