What else can I help you with?
Which part of the cell membrane prevent organisms from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
How many fatty acid chains do saturated fats have?
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their fatty acid chains, which means they have only single bonds. This results in a straight molecular structure with no kinks, making them solid at room temperature.
What is the Difference between phospholipids and triglycerides?
Phospholipids have two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group, making them amphipathic and important in cell membrane structure. Triglycerides have three fatty acid chains and are used for energy storage in adipose tissue.
Which part of the membrane prevents organisms from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
What is the phospholipids in the cell membrane composed of?
A phosphate group into fatty acid chains
Do all lipids contain one or more fatty acid chains?
No, not all lipids contain fatty acid chains. Source: Glencoe CHEMISTRY MATTER AND CHANGE. McGraw-Hill. pg. 787. :)
Which part of the cell membrane non-polar and prevents the cell from dissolving?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains are nonpolar and prevent the cell from dissolving.

How many fatty acid chains do saturated fats have?
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their fatty acid chains, which means they have only single bonds. This results in a straight molecular structure with no kinks, making them solid at room temperature.
What is the composition of a lipid?
glycerol and 3 fatty acids.. The length of fatty acid chains and the saturation will give different kinds of lipids. Some lipids called as phospholipids as the contain one phosphoric acid molecule instead of one fatty acid..
What is the result when fatty acid is hydrolyzed?
Fatty acids are merely carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains. The hydrocarbon chain length may vary from 10-30 carbons (most usual is 12-18). Fatty acids cannot be hydrolyzed further.
How many fatty acid chain are in a phospholpid?
A phospholipid contains two fatty acid chains.
What is a fatty acid.?
A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid (an acid with a -COOH group) with long hydrocarbon side chains.
Which part of the membrane prevents organisms dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
What is the nutrients in fats and oils?
Fats and oils are composed of Fatty Acid chains which are themselves the source of energy for the cell. by breaking down the fatty acids the cell releases energy which produces ATP.
What is the Difference between phospholipids and triglycerides?
Phospholipids have two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group, making them amphipathic and important in cell membrane structure. Triglycerides have three fatty acid chains and are used for energy storage in adipose tissue.
Does cholesterol have any fatty acids?
No, cholesterol is a lipid molecule itself and does not contain fatty acids. Cholesterol is a sterol molecule, while fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid functional group.
