How do fatty acid molecules differ from glycerol?
Yes, it's complex because it is a polysaccharide.
What is called when phosphates are added to a molecule?
Phosphorylation
What effect does glycerin have when you add to glue water and borax?
"Glycerol draws water from its surroundings and the heat produced by the absorption makes glycerol feel warm. Due to this property, glycerol is added to adhesives and glues to keep them from drying too fast. "--"Glycerol: A Jack Of All Trades" by Mary Ann David, George S. Henry Academy, North York (Toronto), Ontario
What is the function of a fatty acid?
soap oleate....... Fatty acids are the bi products of amino acids. From http://dl.clackamas.cc.or.us/ch106-04/triester.htm "A soap essentially is a fatty acid salt. Usually it is the sodium salt of a fatty acid; sometimes the potassium salt. In either case, they are usually made from the hydrolysis of a fat of some kind to form glycerol and the fatty acid. The addition of the base causes the fatty acid to be converted to the salt of the fatty acid. Then after that has happened, more sodium ion is added (usually in the form of NaCl) to precipitate out the fatty acid salt."
What is the function of the blue dye added to the sample before the electrophoreses is performed?
The blue dye is usually a combination of glycerol and something else. But I believe the most important part is the glycerol. Glycerol is heavier than the buffer that you actually perform the electrophoresis in.By adding the glycerol to your sample, you give it weight so that it doesn't float around when you're trying to pipette it into your well and so that it will just fall.
What molecule remains unchanged in all fat molecules?
Glycerol is a chemical compound with the formula HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH. This colorless, odorless, viscous liquid is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Also commonly called glycerin or glycerine, it is a sugar alcohol and fittingly is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity. Glycerol has three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. Its surface tension is 64.00 mN/m at 20 °C and it has a temperature coefficient of -0.0598 mN/(m K). It is a central component of lipids.
Why glycerol is added in cetrimide agar?
as a source of carbon which important for bacterial growth

When a molecule moves faster is the heat added or removed?
added
What is the benefits with using acids in food product?
Acids are added in foods for taste and as preservatives.
What colour changes what acids and bases are added to rose indicator?
acids-magenta bases-green
What is the role of tRNA durning translation?
A tRNA molecule brings an amino acid from the cytoplasm to its correct location on the mRNA molecule at the ribosome where it will be added to the amino acid chain. A tRNA molecule has an anticodon that is complimentary to a specific mRNA codon for a particular amino acid.
As a DNA molecule splits what is added to the exposed base on the original molecule?
Complementary nucleotides
What is called when phosphates are added to a molecule?
Phosphorylation
What do alkalis do when added to acids?
it forms salts and water.
What do bicarbonates decompose into when added to acids?
Sodium carbonate
What do acids increase the number of when added to a chemical?
H+
