What is a glycerol a subunit molecule of?
Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides. In a triglyceride, three fatty acids bond to the three carbon atoms of the glycerol molecule.
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
What serves as the backbone for a fat or triglycerides?
Glycerol
Which is NOT a smaller subunit of a nucleotide?
Glycerol is not a subunit of nucleotides. Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides and phospholipids (types of lipids).
Which macromolecule are often made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
triglycerides
What is a glycerol a subunit molecule of?
Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides. In a triglyceride, three fatty acids bond to the three carbon atoms of the glycerol molecule.
What molecule contains glycerol?
Glycerol (glycerin) exist in all triglycerides.
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
Fatty acids and glycerol are found in?
Triglycerides
What serves as the backbone for a fat or triglycerides?
Glycerol
Which is NOT a smaller subunit of a nucleotide?
Glycerol is not a subunit of nucleotides. Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides and phospholipids (types of lipids).
What are the products of triglycerides?
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
What is the family that triglycerides belong to?
Triglycerides are commonly known as fats and oils. Chemically they are esters of glycerol.
Which macromolecule are often made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
triglycerides
Why are fats and oils are referred to as triglycerides?
They have three glycerol molecules.
Are triglycerides a carbohydrate?
No. Fatty acid and glycerol are what makes up a fat molecule with the ester bond.
In the triglycerides molecules shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecule?
FATTY ACIDS APEX
