What else can I help you with?
Why are fats and oils are referred to as triglycerides?
They have three glycerol molecules.
Where are the fats and oils from that produces glycerin?
The fats and oils that produce glycerol are composed of triglycerides. A single molecule of glycerol has three molecules of fatty acids attached to it.
Fats are composed of three fatty acid molecules joined to a molecule of?
glycerol through ester linkages.
What structural feature of glycerol is important in the formation of fats?
The three hydroxyl (OH) groups in glycerol allow it to form ester linkages with fatty acids, leading to the formation of fats through dehydration synthesis. This ensures that fats have a glycerol backbone with fatty acid chains attached to it.
What are the fats that are made up of glycerol and three hydrocarbon chains known as?
Triglyceride
That glycerol can be detected in all fats?
Glycerol is present in all fats as it is a backbone molecule of triglycerides, the primary form of fat in our bodies. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acids connected to a glycerol molecule. Detection of glycerol can therefore serve as an indicator for the presence of fats.
What are the building blocks of fats?
Neutral fats are esthers of a glycerol molecule, and three fatty acid molecules.
Fats are made of an alcohol called what?
Fats are made of an alcohol called glycerol.
What is glycerol found in?
Glycerol is found in all fats.
What are the 2 monomers for fats?
The two monomers for fats are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol, and fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group at one end. When they combine through a condensation reaction, they form triglycerides, the primary form of fats in our bodies.
Why are Fats and oils are referred to as triglycerides because?
They have three glycerol molecules.
Neutral fats have a ratio of fatty acids to glycerol?
cholesterol is has 4 rings i dunno if that helps
