What is the Difference between Phospholipids and triglecrol?
There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.
Does fatty acid have a phosphate group?
Fatty acids contain C, H, O.
What is the Functional group found in phospholipids and all nucleotides?
2 fatty acids, glycerol, and a phosphate group
What are the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
What is the phospholipids in the cell membrane composed of?
A phosphate group into fatty acid chains
How ar phospholipid different from from triglyceride?
One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.

What is a molecule that has a glycerol backbone two fatty acid chains and phosphate containing compound?
Fatty acids and glycerol may combine to form monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides (normal fats and oils). Addition of a phosphate group to a diglyceride will give a membrane lipid (phospholipid).
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.
What is a phosopholipid molecule composed of?
A phospholipid molecule is composed of an organic phosphate group, a triglyceride, and two fatty acid chains. Within the phospohlipid there is a phosphodiester linkage and two ester linkages.
What molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?
A phospholipid has 2 fatty acid chains and a phosphate group.
What is the basic structure of a triglyceride?
gycerol bound to 3 fatty acid is triglyceride..gylcerol a 3 carbon skeleton with a hydroxyl group attached to each carbon, Fatty acid= a caboxyl group attached to a long carbon skeleton the function triglyceride is to store energy in form of fatty acids, most efficient and compact way of storing energy
Are a kind of lipid that consists of two fatty acids and phosphate group?
A phospholipid consists of two fatty acids and a phosphate group bonded to a glycerol molecule.
Does fatty acid have a phosphate group?
Fatty acids contain C, H, O.
