What are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules?
lipases
What intermolecular forces are largely responsible for the interaction between hexane molecules and fat molecules?
obesity
Where fat and water and other molecules are stored?
In the body!
Do molecules join to form fat in amino acids?
No
What food molecules is easily absorbed?
Vitamin C molecules, water molecules and glucose molecules are very easily absorbed because they don't have as many particles as starch molecules, protein molecules and fat molecules.
What is a large fat molecule made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
What type of molecules pass through the cell membrane?
All ionic molecules and all large fat molecules. What can get in (without help) is water and dissolved gases.
What are the macromolecules and what are they made of?
Macromolucules means large molecules (macro-large) consists of :Carbohydrates(suger),lipids(fat),proteins
What types of molecules can't pass through the cell membrane?
All ionic molecules and all large fat molecules. What can get in (without help) is water and dissolved gases.
What system is responsible for transporting fat-soluble nutrients from the digestive system to the bloodstream?
Fats. Fat molecules are a rich source of energy for the body. The first step in digestion of a fat such as butter is to dissolve it into the watery content of the intestinal cavity. The bile acids produced by the liver act as natural detergents to dissolve fat in water and allow the enzymes to break the large fat molecules into smaller molecules, some of which are fatty acids and cholesterol. The bile acids combine with the fatty acids and cholesterol and help these molecules to move into the cells of the mucosa. In these cells the small molecules are formed back into large molecules, most of which pass into vessels (called lymphatics) near the intestine. These small vessels carry the reformed fat to the veins of the chest, and the blood carries the fat to storage depots in different parts of the body.
Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
What are the molecular units of fat molecules?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
What is fat in science terms?
a fat is a large lipid made from 2 kinds of smaller molecules: glycerol and fatty acids
Why must fat be emulsified?
The bile aids the digestion of fats by the process of emulsification. The importance of this process is that iy breaks down the large fat molecules, increasing the surface to ensure absorption for energy.
Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the?
Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the small intestines.
Are staurated fat molecules stronger or weaker than unsaturated fats?
saturated fat molecules are much stronger than unsaturated fat molecules due to the "saturation" of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon molecules. such molecules are therefore inherently stable and require and enormous amount of energy to release the hydrogen molecules from the sequestered carbon.
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.
