When Fatty acids are hydrolyzed they yield what?
transported across fat cell membranes by fatty acid binding proteins
How many fatty acid chains do saturated fats have?
when fat releases energy is it in a unsaturated fatty acid chain
Difference between acid value and free fatty acid?
Free fatty acids are created by separating fatty acids from the fat molecule. To find the ration you must add a solvent agent. The lower the ratio is the better the storage and shelf life of the respective oil or fat will be.
When there is a chemical reation between 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 glycerol molecule combine to form fat what is this reaction called?
Triglyceride
What is each fat or oil made of?
It is made up of glycerol(alcohol) and fatty acid(carboxylic acid)
Which lipid will give a single molecule of fatty acid when hydrolyzed?
fat
When Fatty acids are hydrolyzed they yield what?
transported across fat cell membranes by fatty acid binding proteins
How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form a fat molecules?
3 fatty acids!
What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
What type of compound and bond is hydrolyzed by lipase?
I believe brown fat (commonly found in neonates) is metabolized by lipase into free fatty acids which are then hydrolyzed into glycerol and non estrified fatty acids.
What is a fat in which the fatty acid tail is full of hydrogens?
This fat is called a saturated fatty acid.
What to molecule types are needed to form a molecule of fat?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
Do the glycerol and fatty acid fit easily together to form a fat molecule?
YES
What does sodium hydroxide and a fat make?
Sodium hydroxide and fat react to form fatty acid salts (essentially soap), and glycerin.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
Does saturated describe a form of fat?
yes, becauseThe fatty acid carbon chains are saturated with hydrogen.
How is a fatty acid bad for someone?
A fatty acid breaks down in the human body and transform into a fat that is stored by the body. When the body cannot extract nutrients from something such as a fatty acid, it stores it in the body as fat.
