How are amino acid molecules and fatty acid molecules the same?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
What pattern does appear in the fatty acid molecules regarding the number of oxygen atoms?
The atoms are proportion is the pattern that is found in the fatty acid molecules. There are two oxygen atoms found.
What are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules?
lipases
How many water molecules are formed if a glycerol molecule is combined with three fatty acid molecules?
9
Do molecules join to form fats in fatty acids?
Fatty acids are molecules composed of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid group ( - COOH) at one end. The smallest molecule that could be called a fatty acid is acetic acid (CH3COOH which is the acid in vinegar) in which the hydrocarbon chain is only on carbon long (a methyl group - CH3). Fats are molecules composed of one to three (usually three) fatty acids bound by their carboxylic acid group to a glycerine molecule (see image above).
How do fatty acid molecules differ from amino acid molecule?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.

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.
How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form a fat molecules?
3 fatty acids!
How are amino acid molecules and fatty acid molecules different?
amino acids are proteins which help with growth while fatty acid is used to provide energy for the body
What are the molecular units of fat molecules?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
In the triglycerides molecules shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecules?
FATTY ACIDS APEX
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.
What molecules is made of glycerol and fatty acid?
lipids
What pattern does appear in the fatty acid molecules regarding the number of oxygen atoms?
The atoms are proportion is the pattern that is found in the fatty acid molecules. There are two oxygen atoms found.
What are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules?
lipases
What are the four groups of macro-molecules?
Protein Carbohydrate Fatty Acid Nucleic Acid
