Are all enzymes made of fatty acids?
Actually, none of the enzymes are made from fatty acids. Fatty acids are part of a fat molecule when it joins with glycerol, whereas enzymes are made from peptide bonding of amino acids.
What part of the cell membrane make up the phospholipid bilayer?
Phosholipids are composed of a glycerol backbone, 2 fatty acids, and a phosphate group. Two fatty acid chains are attached to the first 2 carbon molecules of the glycerol chain. The 3rd carbon of the glycerol backbone is attached to a phosphate group.
What part of the cell membranes does not mix with water?
fatty acids
Which part of the membrane prevents organisms from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
On a phospholipid which part is hydrophobic?
The substance that forms the hydrophobic tail on the back end of a phospholipid are fatty acids. Phospholipids are not "true fats" as they have a phosphate group that replaces one of the fatty acids

Glycerol and fatty acids are building blocks for what?
They are the building blocks of fats and oils. Three molecules of fatty acids are attached to one molecule of the glycerol. Saturated fatty acids give you fats. Polyunsaturated fatty acids give you oils.
What happens when the body gets too little glycerol?
Glycerol in integral part of the fats and oils. You need to to have essential fatty acids in your diet. Glycerol is not essential for body as such.
What are the part of triglyceride?
A triglyceride is made of three long chain fatty acids (hydrocarbons) attached to one molecule of glycerol.
What forms when two fatty acids combine with a phosphate group?
Two fatty acids and a phosphate group are found in a phospholipid.Strictly, there is glycerol in there as well.The lipids known as triglycerides are formed from glycerol and three fatty acids. You can think of most phospholipids as being triglycerides with one of the outer fatty acids replaced by a phosphate group. Usually, the phosphate group is part of a larger group.In one common phospholipid, sphingomyelin, there is serine instead of glycerol.The phospholipids are important components of all cell membranes, internal and external.
During digestion what are fats broken down into?
Fats are broken down to make energy or used to make glucose through the process of gluconeogenesis. Fats are essential part of a diet to help regulate body temperature, help the body to absorb fat soluble vitamins and aid in hormone production.
How are fat molecules turned into fatty acids?
Fat Molecules can't be turned into fatty acids, because fatty acids are part of the elemental formula to create fat molecules. Three fat molecules and a glycerol molecule create a fat molecule. Remember each molecule isn't one thing, a molecule are two or more atoms connected in some way.
How to remove glycerin from vegatable oil?
You can't and still have vegetable oil - it is a chemically bonded part of the substance. Vegetable oil is a tri-ester of one molecule of glycerol with three molecules of fatty-acid chain. If you split off the glycerol you get fatty acids - if you split it off with lye you get the sodium salt of fatty acids, or soap. The glycerol will then be dispersed in the mixture and can be dissolved out with water. This is not simple as the water will also contain all sorts of impurities such as the salt you had to use to get the soap to precipitate. Bart van Herk
What is the difference between fat and phospholipid?
the "phospho" part. fat=lipid To be more specific, a fat is composed of glycerol (an alcohol) and fatty acids (triglycerides). A phospholipid has a hydrophobic tail, and a hydrophilic phosphate group. Think of a phospholipid as a glycerol molecule attached to a long chain of fatty acids dangling off to the right. (depending on perspective) Connected to the top of the glycerol molecule is a phosphate group, which is water loving. There is also an additional polar group. -R
