What else can I help you with?
Do glycerol and fatty acids have an amino group?
no amino acid is not a fatty acid this is because of the following reasons 1- due to the difference of functional group i.e Amino acid has two functional groups one is amino group (-NH2) and other is carboxylic group (-COOH) while in fatty acid (-RCOOH) only carboxylic group are present. 2-Amino acid is the sub-unit of protein while Fatty acid is the sub-unit of lipids(FATS).
What functional group found in amino acids is absent from monosaccharides polysaccharides fatty acids and glycerol?
The amino group (-NH2) found in amino acids is absent in monosaccharides, polysaccharides, fatty acids, and glycerol. The absence of this group is attributed to the structural differences and functions of these biomolecules.
What is the end product of fat digestion called?
Simple sugar, amino acid, fatty acids, or fatty acids and glycerol
What are components of fats?
Fats are composed of fatty acids, which are chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They also contain glycerol, a type of alcohol that connects the fatty acids together to form triglycerides. Different types of fats can vary in the length and saturation of their fatty acid chains.
What molecules are the building blocks of fats?
All lipids (fats, oils and waxes) contain fatty acids attached to glycerol.
How many fatty acids and glycerol do triglycerides contain?
The triglyceride molecule consists of three lipids bonded one each to the three Carbons of glycerol.
Do molecules join to form fat in amino acids?
No, fat molecules are not formed by joining amino acids. Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycerol molecules, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The process of joining fatty acids and glycerol forms a fat molecule through a process known as esterification.
How many carbons are in each unit-glucose-amino acids-glycerol-fatty acids?
Glucose contains six carbon atoms. Amino acids typically have a carbon backbone that consists of at least two to six carbon atoms, depending on the specific amino acid. Glycerol has three carbon atoms, while fatty acids vary in length but usually contain between 4 to 24 carbon atoms.
Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
What does your digestive system add to your blood?
soluble end of products such as glucose , amino acids and fatty acids and glycerol
What is the polymer and monomer for the macromolecules?
For carbohydrates they are monosaccharides. For proteins,amino acids. For lipids glycerol and fatty acids. For nucleic acids nucleotides.
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Fatty acids also contain a carboxyl group (COOH) and a hydrocarbon chain, while amino acids contain an amino group (NH2) and a side chain specific to each amino acid.
