"Fatty Acids" take on two 'forms' - 'fats' are from animal sources and are solid at room temperature whereas 'oils' are from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature.

Ethanoic(Acetic) Acid is a Carboxylic (Fatty) Acid.
Organic acids are fatty acids.
The use of the word ' Fatty' has been superceded by 'Carboxylic'.

Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
What functional group is responsible for the acidic properties of fatty acids?
carboxyl group (cooh)
How are amino acids different from fatty acids?
Short Answer is: fatty acids lack Nitrogen atoms. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They have the functional groups carboxyl (COOH) and amine (H2N). Fatty acids or LIPIDS - [fats from animals, oils from plants] - are the building blocks of triglycerides. They are made of of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and DO NOT contain nitrogen. They have the functional groups carbonyl (HCO) and carboxyl (COOH).
Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
carboxyl group
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
What function group do all fatty acids have in common?
The carboxyl group
The functional group ALWAYS found in the following pair of monomeric organic molecules fatty acids and amino acids?
Carboxyl group
How are fatty acids alike?
They all have a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group on the end.
What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
What functional group is responsible for the acidic properties of fatty acids?
carboxyl group (cooh)
Is fatty acids a lipid?
Most lipids are composed of some sort of fatty acid arrangement. The fatty acids are Fatty acids are composed of a chain of methylene groups with a Carboxyl functional group at one end.
Do fatty and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids do contain a carboxyl group -C(=O)(-OH) (they are alternatively called: carboxylic acids). Glycerol contains three hydroxylic groups -C(-OH), propane-1,2,3-triol
What type of molecule has a carboxyl head and makes up cell membranes?
Glycerol and fatty acids both have carboxyl heads, but i am not sure about their purpose yet.
