Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
These are called fatty acids. They are organic molecules made up of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end. Fatty acids are essential components of lipids and can vary in length and saturation.
A Carboxylic Acid.
hexanoic acid
A fatty acid.
Fatty acid or monocarboxylic acid.
These are carboxylic acids.

A carboxyl group consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the same carbon atom. The formula is -COOH. The carboxyl group is commonly found in organic molecules such as carboxylic acids.
Only carboxylic acids contain carboxyl groups. Only organic acids have them--obviously, since an organic acid contains carbon and so does a carboxyl group. So...most acids don't contain carboxyl groups.
The molecule CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2OH is pentanol, specifically n-pentanol, a type of alcohol with a five-carbon chain and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the end carbon. It is used in the production of flavors, fragrances, and as a solvent.
Chains of carbon with just hydrogen bonded are very nonpolar, while the -OH group on alcohols are very polar. Mehtanol is just one carbon with an -OH group, so it is quite polar. Butanol, on the other hand, is a four carbon chain with an -OH group on the end carbon. The longer nonpolar carbon chain makes butanol less polar than methanol.
Propene is a linear hydrocarbon containing 3 carbons and 6 hydrogens. Two of the carbons are double bonded. Starting at the double-bonded end, you have two hydrogen atoms bonded to the end carbon, then a single carbon double bonded to the first carbon and with a single hydrogen bonded to it, then the third carbon is singly bonded to the second with 3 hydrogen atoms bonded to it.Propene is also known as propylene or methyl ethylene.
glycerol, fatty acids
A simple fat molecule is composed of glycerol which is a simple sugar and 3 fatty acids, which are also chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl group at one end.
Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).
Glycerol, which might be called a "sugar alcohol" (though it's not usually called a "simple sugar"; it's a little too simple to be a simple sugar) and 3 fatty acids (or, more properly chemically, carboxylic acids).
A carboxyl group consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the same carbon atom. The formula is -COOH. The carboxyl group is commonly found in organic molecules such as carboxylic acids.
Fatty acids consist of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O) arranged as a carbon chain skeleton with a carboxyl group (COOH) at one end. The general formula is: CH3(CH2)xCOOH where x is the number of carbon atoms in the chain.
water carbon dioxide hydrogen
At the end of a aerobic respiration carbon is the molecule that makes hydrogen ions. This is taught in science.
Amino Acid: compound with an amino acid (-NH2) on one end and a carboxyl group (-COOH) on the other end.Protein: macromolecule that contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen; needed by the body for growth and repair and to make up enzymes.

Improve Proteins are chains of amino acids, and these chains have an Nitrogen-terminus and a Carbon-terminus. The Nitrogen-terminus is the end of the protein that has a nitrogen, which is available for bonding with a free carbon of another amino acid. The carbon-terminus is the end of the protein that has a carbon which is available to bond with a free nitrogen of another amino acid.
Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are composed of a central Carbon atom surrounded by (bonded to) four groups; an amine, a carboxyl group, an R group (also known as a side chain), and a Hydrogen atom. When amino acids link together via peptide bonding to from polypeptides/proteins (A protein is a polypeptide), the amine group of one amino acid interacts with the carboxyl group of another. Therefore, you end up with an amine group on one end of the protein and a carboxyl group on the other. They call the end with the amine on it the "N terminus" because the chemical formula for amine is NH2 while the end with the carboxyl group on it is named the "C terminal" because the chemical formula of a carboxyl is CH2. The N terminus is the end that amino acids are added onto when mRNA is translated in protein synthesis. Therefore, we write that proteins are created N terminus to C terminus.
