What are precursor lipids?
they include fatty acid"glycerol"steroids"fatty aldehydes" ketone bodies
What does a unsaturated fatty acid contain?
A fatty acid contains double bonding within its carbon
Which type of lipid does NOT contain fatty acids as one of the component parts?
Lipid is a heterogeneous group of compound which are soluble in organic solvents but in soluble in water. Important groups of lipids are fats , oils, triacyl glycerol; phospholipids, waxes and terpenes including steroids and carotenoids.This last group ie carotenoids and steroids is the lipid that are not made up of fatty acid but they are composed of isoprenoid units, their examples are cholestrole and red pigment carotin of carrots.
Does fatty acid have a phosphate group?
Fatty acids contain C, H, O.
Does stearic acid contain pork?
stearic acid can come from pork. It is a fatty acid that is used in cosmetics.
What do fatty acid contain?
carbon atoms linked by double bonds
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. :)
What What are made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
Which acid does cheeku contains?
Sapodilla, or Cheeku, contain the following acids: Hexadecanoic acid 0.100 g (Saturated fatty acid), Octadecanoic acid 0.094 g (Saturated fatty acid), Octadecenoic acid 0.521 g (Monounsaturated fatty acid), Octadecadienoic acid 0.011 g (Polyunsaturated fatty acid), Aspartic acid 0.032 g, Glutamic acid 0.038 g, Pantothenic acid 0.252 mg.
What is an example of a phospholipid?
A phospholipid is an organic compound that contains a phosphare group in the molecule and is a fatty acid or derivative of a fatty acid. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
Which cosmetics contain acid?
Many cosmetics (creams, shavings, soaps, etc.) may contain fatty acids.
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..
