While both are organic molecules, glycerol has everything to do with lipids and proteins are in their 'own league'.

Organic molecules containing carboxyl groups are?

Organic molecules containing carboxyl groups are known as carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids are characterized by the presence of a carboxyl group (-COOH), which consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (–OH) attached to the same carbon atom. They are widely found in nature and are important in biological processes.

What is formed when a COOH is substituted for three hydrogen atoms attached to the same carbon atom?

A carboxylic acid group (-COOH) is formed when a COOH group is substituted for three hydrogen atoms attached to the same carbon atom. It consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (OH) attached to the same carbon atom. This functional group is commonly found in organic compounds like acetic acid.

What is the difference between phospholipids and sphingolipids?

Lipids are a group of fatty substances found in all living organisms. Lipids do not dissolve in water but are soluble in alcohol, ether, or other organic solvents. Phospholipids are important because they DO HAVE water soluble glycerol heads enabling many of them to form a poly-molecular structure that we call a membrane, which limit the passage of water and water-soluble compounds through a cell membrane, enabling the cell to keep its contents separate from the outside environment.


What is the difference between glycerol and glycerin?

Why does a piece of glass dipped in glycerol become invisible?

Because Glycerol and glass have the same refractive index. ie light is bent (refracted) by the same amount when the light travels from air to either the glass or the glycerol. Therefore when combined together you will only see the exterior substance (in this case glycerol) not what is hidden inside it. I believe there is a similar affect with diamonds in immersed in water ie. they disappear. This is also apparently a good way to check if a diamond is real.
