Compounds with the general structural formula RCOOH are known as?
They're Carboxylic acids, COOH is the carboxyl group and R represents any carbon chain :)
What type of fatty acids make up oils?
The type of fatty acids that make up oils are known as saturated fatty acids. They are usually derived from hydrolysis of the natural fats and oils.
What effects do fatty acids have on your body?
Fatty acids can have a number of bad effects on the body. They are known to increase cholesterol and improve the changes of contracting heart disease. These fatty acids are often found in foods such as red meats.
Glycerol with three fatty acids attached is referred to as?
Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule is called a triglyceride.
Why is linolenic acid an unsaturated fatty acid?
Because fats are having double bond and triple bonds so they are known as unsaturated fatty acids.
Define fatty acid?
In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides orphospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as "free" fatty acids.
What are tryglisorides?
Triglycerides are molecules made from three molecules, usually fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. They are more often known as lipids, or fats. A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long alkyl group.
Compounds with the general structural formula RCOOH are known as?
They're Carboxylic acids, COOH is the carboxyl group and R represents any carbon chain :)
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
What type of fatty acids make up oils?
The type of fatty acids that make up oils are known as saturated fatty acids. They are usually derived from hydrolysis of the natural fats and oils.
What effects do fatty acids have on your body?
Fatty acids can have a number of bad effects on the body. They are known to increase cholesterol and improve the changes of contracting heart disease. These fatty acids are often found in foods such as red meats.
Are fatty acids polymers or monomers?
Fatty acids are linear hydrocarbon polymers terminated at one end by an acid group.The shortest possible "fatty acid" (i.e. a 0 length polymer chain: with just a single methyl group terminated by an acid group) is more commonly known as acetic acid, the acid in common vinegar.
Glycerol with three fatty acids attached is referred to as?
Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule is called a triglyceride.
Why is linolenic acid an unsaturated fatty acid?
Because fats are having double bond and triple bonds so they are known as unsaturated fatty acids.
How does polyunsaturated fatty acids affect bipolar disorder?
no known effect
What are fat subunits?
Subunits of fats are glycerol and fatty acids. Each fat molecule comprises of 1 molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acids.
When fatty acids attach to glycerol the result is a lipid of the class known as?
glyceride
