What else can I help you with?
Is fatty acids a disaccharide?
No, fatty acids are not disaccharides. Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one end. Disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of two monosaccharide units linked together.
Are fatty acids sub-units of carbohydrates?
No. The sub-units for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose. Fatty acids are what results from the sub-unit aliphatic compounds and glycerol.
Are lipids and carbohydrates nucleic acids?
No, lipids are fatty acids and carbohydrates are sugars. These are both chemically distinct from nucleic acids.
When there is insufficient carbohydrates to complete metabolism of fatty acids fatty acids are formed into?
Acetyl CoA and then ketones
What cannot be form in fatty acids?
Fatty acids cannot form carbohydrates. Fatty acids are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, while carbohydrates are molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a different arrangement.
Is glycerol and glycogen part of fatty acids?
glycerol and fatty acids are lipids. monosaccharides are term used for carbohydrates.
What has more potential energy carbon dioxide carbohydrates or fatty acids?
Fatty acids have more potential energy than both carbon dioxide and carbohydrates. This is because fatty acids contain more carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds, which store more energy per molecule. When broken down in the body, fatty acids release more energy than either carbon dioxide or carbohydrates.
What are the two parts that each fat molecule is made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
Are fatty acids composed of four linked rings?
No.
What are the final end products for carbohydrates lipids and proteins?
Carbohydrates: Glucose Lipids: Fatty acids and glycerol Proteins: Amino acids
What makes protein lipid and carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides, lipids are made of glycerol and fatty acids, and proteins are made of amino acids.
Are carbohydrates needed for the brain and nervouse system?
no. only fatty acids.
