How many water molecules will be removed to form a fat composed of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol molecule?
Three water molecules will be removed to form a triglyceride composed of three fatty acid chains and one glycerol molecule. One molecule of water is removed for each bond between a fatty acid and the glycerol molecule, for a total of three water molecules removed.
A fat is called what if all the fatty acid chains are single bonded to two other carbons and two hydrogens?
If a fatty acid has a completely single-bonded carbon chain with as many hydrogen atoms as possible bound to the chain, it is refered to as a "saturated" fat. It is literally saturated with hydrogen atoms. If the chain has one or more double bonds, those double bonds reduce the number of hydrogen atoms, and so that is an "unsaturated" fat.
Where does lipid synthesis occurs in an animal cell?
Fatty acids synthesis starts with acetyl-CoA and builds up by the addition of two carbon units. The synthesis occurs in the cytoplasm in contrast to the degradation (oxidation), which occurs in the mitochondria. Many of the enzymes for the fatty acid synthesis are organized into a multienzyme complex called fatty acid synthetase. The major sites of fatty acid synthesis are adipose tissue and the liver
What are two monosaccharides being hooked together?
If two monosacharides are together, this then means it is classified as a disacharide. However, if it has many more than just two monosacharides 'joined together', then that means it is classified as a polysacheride. Fat cell structures are commonly known as triglycerides, and they consist of fatty acid chains and glycerol.
What is the smallest structure between dipeptide amino acid polypeptide and protein?
Amino acid = Smallest building block of proteins; 20 of them. In this order. Amino acid < dipeptide ( two peptides ) < polypeptide (many peptides ) < Protein
How many fatty acid chains do saturated fats have?
when fat releases energy is it in a unsaturated fatty acid chain
How many fatty acid chains does the membrane have?
one million
A fat that is solid at room temperature has mainly how many fatty acids?
There is three fatty acid modules in a triglyceride which is the main component in fat.
How many water molecules will be removed to form a fat composed of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol molecule?
Three water molecules will be removed to form a triglyceride composed of three fatty acid chains and one glycerol molecule. One molecule of water is removed for each bond between a fatty acid and the glycerol molecule, for a total of three water molecules removed.
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.
Is lard ionic or covalent?
Lard, which is comprised of Fatty acid chains bound to a glycerol is comprised of many covalent bonds.
How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form fat molecule?
You need 1 glycerol molecule and also 3 fatty acids to to make a lipid.
How many fatty acids are added to a glycerol molecule to make a triglyceride?
3
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.
Is chitin a fat?
No, chitin is a polysaccharade (a polymer made of many saccharide, or sugar, monomers). Fats are composed of triglycerides, where are fatty acid chains combined with a glycerol molecule.
How many fatty acids is in a typical fat?
3 fatty acis in a glycerol. Fat is composed of one glycerol, thus contaning 3 fatty acids. Good Luck in AP BIO !
