Tripalmitin is a 16 carbon saturated fatty acid. Saponification is a reaction involving a strong base (ex: NaOH) and a fatty acid. The reaction yields a glycerol and 3 fatty acid salts. Therefore the reaction products are: glycerol: CH2(OH)--CH(OH)--CH2(OH) + 3 fatty acid salts: CH3--(CH2)14--COO(-) Na(+) + 3H2O Above is actually a summary of what is in reality a 2-step reaction: the fatty acid reacts with H2O first to yield a glycerol and 3 fatty acids; the fatty acids subsequently reacts with the alkaline (base) (NaOH) to yield 3 fatty acid salts and H2O
Fatty acids and glycerol
glycerol and carboxylic acid combines to form a lipids.
Fatty acid, glycerol.
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acid molecules.
If you mean triglycerides which is the fat most people talk about then its glycerol and fatty acids.
lipids
triglycerid
a triglyceride
Lipids.With two fatty acid tails, and a glycerol head, it is a phospholipid. If there is three tails, it is fat.
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
they include fatty acid"glycerol"steroids"fatty aldehydes" ketone bodies
