What else can I help you with?
What type or types functional groups do you see in a glycerol molecule?
3 hydroxyl groups, glycerol is trihydroxypropane, or technically, propane-1,2,3-triol.
What is the metabolic function of protein?
amino acid and glycerol
What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
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.
Where is an amino acid attached to a tRNA molecule?
An amino acid is attached to a tRNA molecule at the 3' end.
What is the structure of a triglyceride, with one fatty acid bound to a glycerol backbone?
A triglyceride with one fatty acid bound to a glycerol backbone has a structure where the fatty acid is attached to one of the three hydroxyl groups on the glycerol molecule. This forms an ester bond between the fatty acid and the glycerol, creating a molecule with a glycerol backbone and one fatty acid chain attached.
How many water molecules are formed if a glycerol molecule is combined with three fatty acid molecules?
Three water molecules are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with three fatty acid molecules in a condensation reaction. Each fatty acid molecule contributes a water molecule when it reacts with the glycerol molecule to form a triglyceride.
What are the components of a lipids molecule?
One glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecule
How many amino acids does a adrenaline protein have?
Adrenaline is a hormone, not a protein. It is a small molecule derived from the amino acid tyrosine.
Is an amino acid a macro molecule made by linking many small molecules together?
YES
In the triglyceride molecule shown below what molecule are the fatty acids attached to?
Glycerol
In a lipid synthesis reaction the greatest number of fatty acid molecules that could combine with on glycerol molecule is?
Three fatty acid molecules can combine with one glycerol molecule in a lipid synthesis reaction to form a triacylglycerol molecule. Each of the three hydroxyl groups of glycerol can form an ester bond with a fatty acid molecule.
What to molecule types are needed to form a molecule of fat?
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.
