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 do the two ends of a fatty acid differ?
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats found in food and in the body of most organisms. They can differ in length and in degree of saturation.
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 kind of molecule is fatty acid?
lipid
What kind of molecule is ch3ch2ch2ch2chchch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2cooh?
It is 'hexanoic acid' or 'caproic acid'.
Give two ways fatty acid molecules differ?
differ from what?
What are the components of a lipids molecule?
One glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecule
What molecule has glycerol and 3 fatty acid?
a triglyceride
The fatty acid in the tail of phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
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 is a common signaling molecule derived from a fatty acid?
eicosanoid
Is fat an element or a compound?
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
