A simple fat molecule is composed of what which is a simple sugar and 3 what which are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl group at one end?
glycerol, fatty acids
Do lipids have simple sugar sub units?
Remember there are many different kinds of lipids (fatty acids, soaps, waxes, phospholipids, etc) but as far as the dietary fatty acids, the answer is No. Triglycerides (dietary fat) are composed of 3 fatty acid chains bound to glycerol. Fatty acids are carbon chains and glycerol is 3 carbons each with an OH alcohol. An ester bond attaches each fatty acid to glycerol. As far as energy metabolism, it can be seen that carbon and oxygen are the main substituents of energy. Even "simple sugar sub-units" are carbon rings, and during glycolysis these carbon rings are opened and broken apart to be used in the TCA cycle and other ways for energy production.
What macromolecule contains glycerol?
Ur Welcome ;)Lipids are composed of three fatty acid chains linked to a glycerol backbone
How many carbon atoms are present in one molecule of glycerol?
There are 3 carbon atoms in one molecule of glycerol.
Alcohol in a triglyceride that 3 fatty acids chains attach to?
Glycerol
Are long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms that combine with glycerol molecules to form a lipid?
Fatty acid molecules do so.
What are subunits that make up fat?
Two subunits that make up a fat molecule are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and fatty acids consist of hydrogen atoms, chains of carbon, and a carboxylic acid group.
What Acid molecules are long chains of carbon atom found in lipids?
They are fatty acids; they are attached to a glycerol molecule to form a lipid.
What are the component molecules that form together to make a triglyceride?
Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
A simple fat molecule is composed of what which is a simple sugar and 3 what which are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl group at one end?
glycerol, fatty acids
A type of lipid with 3 tails made of carbon and hydrogen?
A triglyceride. It has a glycerol "head" which is attached to 3 fatty acid tails which are long hydrocarbon chains.
Glycerol what it is made of?
Glycerol is made of carbon,hydrogen, & oxygen
How do fatty acid molecules differ from glycerol?
Yes, it's complex because it is a polysaccharide.
What is the 3-carbon backbone of a fat?
the glycerol is attached to 3 fatty acids

What are the three segments attached to the glycerol in a phospholipid?
A hydrophilic phosphate group and two hydrocarbon chains.
Is sunflower oil covalent or ionic?
Sun flower oil is an unsaturated fat, basically a glycerol head and long chains of carbon hydrogen bonds. So, definitely covalent.
