Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
What functional groups act as an acid?
two examples are carboxyl and hydroxyl examples are vinegar for carboxyl and phenol for hydroxyl there are many others
A fatty acid is a compound made of a chain of carbon atoms plus?
A fatty acid is usually found as an ester in a fat or oil. It is a hydrocarbon chain that has a terminal carboxyl (COOH) group.
How do fatty acids differ from one another?
different enzymes break each different chain down
Structure of Acetic Acid?
A carboxyl group with a methyl group attached. It can thus also be considered the smallest fatty acid, having only one carbon in its hydrocarbon chain.
What makes fatty acid an acid?
It has a carboxyl group that donates an H+ to a solution
What is ester bond?
Ester bond is formed when the carboxyl group of fatty acid combine with the hydroxyl group of glycerol.

What functional group is in lysine?
amines and carboxyl
Is fatty acid an acid?
yes, though they don't lower ph much and are poor electron donors, they do contain the carboxyl group and engage in reactions with bases
What Functional groups is in omega 3 fatty acids?
All fatty acids should have a carboxyl group at the top, or "head" of the acid. After a long hydrocarbon chain, the fatty acid will end in a methyl group. Omega 3's chemical formula does not differ from any other fatty acid; it is its physical structure that sets it apart.
Kind of molecule made up of a chain of carbons to which hydrogyens are bonded and having a carboxyl group at one end?
A fatty acid
What function group do all fatty acids have in common?
The carboxyl group
