What else can I help you with?
Neutral fats have a ratio of fatty acids to glycerol?
cholesterol is has 4 rings i dunno if that helps
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.
What is the bond broken by lipase?
Lipase breaks the ester bond in triglycerides, leading to the hydrolysis of fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
What are the monomers for fats and oils?
Fat is not a polymere, however most fats are threefold esters of glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) and three (different) long chain fatty acids.Example:stearine (or tristearin, or glyceryl tristearate) is made by esterfication (three times):C3H5(OH)3 + 3 C17H35COOH → C3H5(C18H35O2)3 + 3 H2O
What smaller molecules are fats made up of?
Fats are made up of smaller molecules called fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one end, while glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol that forms the backbone of triglycerides, the main type of fat in our bodies.
What does lipase break down?
Pepsin is found in the stomach, and breaks down long-chain proteins into shorter amino acids, whilst lipase is secreted into the duodenum by the pancreas to break down fats into their constituent parts: fatty acids and glycerol.
What does lipase digest fats into?
glycerol and fatty acids :P
What are components of fats?
Fats are composed of fatty acids, which are chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They also contain glycerol, a type of alcohol that connects the fatty acids together to form triglycerides. Different types of fats can vary in the length and saturation of their fatty acid chains.
What breaks down fats into glycerol and fatty acids?
Lipase is the enzyme that targets lipid molecules.
What molecules are the building blocks of fats?
All lipids (fats, oils and waxes) contain fatty acids attached to glycerol.
What makes up animal fats?
Fats are esters of fatty acids. they are made up of fatty acids and glycerol.
What are subunits of fats?
Subunits of fats are glycerol and fatty acids. Each fat molecule comprises of 1 molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acids.
What is the chemical composition of fats?
Fatty acids and glycerol
What substrate is broken down by lipase?
Lipase breaks down lipids or fats into smaller molecules such as fatty acids and glycerol.
Where does fats start changing to fatty acids and glycerol?
The process of fats changing into fatty acids and glycerol begins in the small intestine. When fats are ingested, they are broken down by enzymes called lipases in the small intestine, resulting in the release of fatty acids and glycerol, which can then be absorbed into the bloodstream.
What are the 2 building blocks of fats?
Glycerol and fatty acids.
What molecules are made out of glycerol and fatty acids?
fats and waxes
