Glucose molecules are to starch as what are to lipids?
This is an analogy between the molecular components of two different macromolecules. Glucose molecules compose starch, and its correspondent to proteins would be amino acids to solve this question.
In the triglycerides molecules shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecules?
FATTY ACIDS APEX
Do glycerol and fatty acids have an amino group?
no amino acid is not a fatty acid this is because of the following reasons 1- due to the difference of functional group i.e Amino acid has two functional groups one is amino group (-NH2) and other is carboxylic group (-COOH) while in fatty acid (-RCOOH) only carboxylic group are present. 2-Amino acid is the sub-unit of protein while Fatty acid is the sub-unit of lipids(FATS).
Explain amino fatty acid in the body?
Amino acids are the building blocks of a protein. Fatty acid is involved in formation of fats. Fatty acid and glycerol are two things that makes up a fat molecule.
What is amina acid?
Did you mean: amino acid, this is a general name for hydrocarbon chain molecules with at least one amino group (-NH2) and one carboxyl group (-COOH). There are up to 20 different amino acid monomers present in proteins.
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.
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.

This is an analogy between the molecular components of two different macromolecules. Glucose molecules compose starch, and its correspondent to proteins would be amino acids to solve this question.
Do amino acid molecules join to form fats?
No. Amino acid molecules join together via peptide bonds to form peptides and proteins, not fats. Fats generally form from long chain fatty acids and glycerol.
What are the molecular units of protein molecules?
About 20 different types of amino acid molecules.
How are amino acids different from one another?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
Any one of 20 different organic molecules that contain a carboxyl and an amino group and that combine to form proteins?
amino acid.
Organic molecules containing carboxyl groups are?
Amino acids, which are the monomers of protein, other proteins and organic acids, such as citric acid, acetic acid or fatty acid.
In the triglycerides molecules shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecules?
FATTY ACIDS APEX
What molecules are enzymes made of?
Amino acid molecules.
Do glycerol and fatty acids have an amino group?
