How many dehydration synthesis reactions are required to attach fatty acid tails to a glycerol and build a triglyceride?
It can be done all in one synthesis. However, there are 3 OHs on glycerol and thus 3 fatty acids required in total to build the triglyceride. There are thus 3 reactions in total that take place but all in one synthesis. This is similar to 3 molecules of NaOH reacting with one molecule of phosphoric acid.
The process of forming a larger molecule from its monomer is called what?
Many terms can describe this process. The reactions involved are called dehydration synthesis (aka condensation) reactions or more specifically polymerization reactions. However the process can be called an anabolic process.
How is glycogen made?
Through condensation reactions. Glycogen is a polysaccharide. This means it is the polymer of many monosaccharides. The monomer of Glycogen is Glucose. Glucose, through condensation reactions in which water is released, joins to form the branched structure of Glycogen. This feature is beneficial in animals as it is easy to break off the individual glucose for energy through enzymes but also because polysaccharides are insoluble while monosaccharides are.
Do cells have the capability of synthesizing water during metabolism?
Many metabolic processes involve condensation reactions, a type of reaction forming new bonds that produces water as a "waste product".
How many ester bonds are found in a triglyceride?
There are three ester bonds in a triglyceride molecule. These ester bonds form when three fatty acid molecules each react with a glycerol molecule, resulting in the formation of the triglyceride.
How many glycerols in a triglyceride?
1. 3 fatty acids are attached to it.
What is the by product of condensation reaction?
A Condensation reaction is a type of chemical reaction where two or more simple molecules are joined to make a complex molecule along with removal of other simple molecules as water, ammonia or hydrogen chloride..
How many fatty acids are added to a glycerol molecule to make a triglyceride?
3

What Are Different Types Of Chemical Reactions That Can Happen?
There are various types of chemical reactions that can occur including: Combination reactions: Two or more substances combine to form a new compound. Decomposition reactions: A compound breaks down into simpler substances. Single replacement reactions: An element replaces another element in a compound. Double replacement reactions: The cations and anions of two different compounds switch places. Redox reactions: Involves the transfer of electrons between species, resulting in a change in oxidation states. Acid-base reactions: An acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water. Combustion reactions: A reaction between a hydrocarbon and oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water.
Why would a doctor put you on a triglyceride diet?
A triglyceride diet is for somebody that has heart ailments due to too much triglycerides (or fatty substances from animal fats and vegetable oils). Having too many of these lipids in your body can cause arterial blockage and blood clotting. Being on a triglyceride diet helps manage the amount of triglycerides in your body.
