No. Glycerol is merely a three Carbon chain with an -OH (alcohol) group on each of these three Carbons = HO-CH2-OH-CH-CH2-OH. The opportunities for "expansion" of this molecule are at least extensive.

What kind of macromolecule is glycerol?
Protein
What the function of edta during protein extraction?
glycerol increases the stabilization of the protein by decreasing the surface tension of water
Is protease an enzyme?
No, there is a great difference between lipaseand protease. lipase: digest fats and oils into glycerol and fatty acids. protease: digest protein into amino acids.
Is glycerol a discaccharide?
No, glycerol is subunit of lipids.
Which is NOT a smaller subunit of a nucleotide?
Glycerol is not a subunit of nucleotides. Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides and phospholipids (types of lipids).
What kind of macromolecule is glycerol?
Protein
What is the metabolic function of protein?
amino acid and glycerol
Are glycerol and protein in the same organic group?
While both are organic molecules, glycerol has everything to do with lipids and proteins are in their 'own league'.
What the function of edta during protein extraction?
glycerol increases the stabilization of the protein by decreasing the surface tension of water
What is the role of glycerol in the lysis buffer?
To protect protein during thawing and freezing
Are starch protein DNA glycerol and chitin all macromolcules?
No , all are not macro molecules .
What is the end product of fat and oil?
The end products of fat digestion are fatty acids and glycerol.
What chemical family is lipase?
Lipase is an enzyme that breaks lipid molecules down into a glycerol molecule and fatty acids. It is a protein.
What makes protein lipid and carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides, lipids are made of glycerol and fatty acids, and proteins are made of amino acids.
What color is glycerol?
Glycerol is colorless.
Is glycerol a discaccharide?
No, glycerol is subunit of lipids.
Is protease an enzyme?
No, there is a great difference between lipaseand protease. lipase: digest fats and oils into glycerol and fatty acids. protease: digest protein into amino acids.
