What is the substrate of gastric lipase?
Lipase cleaves fats into small molecules, glycerol and fatty acids.
What is the sub-unit that makes up fats.?
Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycogen
Fats composed of fatty acids that have double bonds in the fatty acids and have fewer than the maximim number of hydrogen atoms are?
unsaturated
Why are unsaturated fatty acids better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell?
Unsaturated fatty acids are better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell. This is because unsaturated fats are more porous.
Where does fats start changing to fatty acids and glycerol?
Fats are completely digested in the small intestine
How does the hydrolysis of esters lead to the formation of soap?
Soap is formed by the hydrolysis of fats by lye, not the hydrolysis of esters. The lye strips the 3 fatty acids from the glycerine in the fats and reacts with the free fatty acids producing soap, this process is called saponification.
What makes up animal fats?
Fats are esters of fatty acids. they are made up of fatty acids and glycerol.
Fats change to?
fatty acids
What does lipase digest fats into?
glycerol and fatty acids :P
What is the composition of fats?
Fats are composed of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids
What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
What molecules are the building blocks of fats?
All lipids (fats, oils and waxes) contain fatty acids attached to glycerol.
What are subunits of fats?
Subunits of fats are glycerol and fatty acids. Each fat molecule comprises of 1 molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acids.
Glycerol and fatty acids are found in what type molecule?
Unreacted fatty acids are rare in nature, but most fats and oils are triglycerides of fatty acids, and the acids can be recovered by hydrolyzing the triglycerides. This process is sometimes called "saponification" when the hydrolysis is aided by strong alkali, as in that instance the primary products (aside from glycerin) are salts of fatty acids, which are often good soaps.
What is the substrate of gastric lipase?
Lipase cleaves fats into small molecules, glycerol and fatty acids.
What is considered to be a component of lipids plasma cells fatty acids nuceic acid or zinc?
fats
What are fats digested into?
Fats in foods break down into fatty acids and glycerols.
