What are the 2 monomers for fats?
The two parts of the fats molecules are the glycerol and the fatty acids.
What smaller molecules are fats made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
Naturally occurring fats contain fatty acids in what formation?
Primarily tricycerides, in which a glycerol molecule bonds to three fatty acids.
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
Glycerol and fatty acids are found in what type molecule?
Unreacted fatty acids are rare in nature, but most fats and oils are triglycerides of fatty acids, and the acids can be recovered by hydrolyzing the triglycerides. This process is sometimes called "saponification" when the hydrolysis is aided by strong alkali, as in that instance the primary products (aside from glycerin) are salts of fatty acids, which are often good soaps.
What does lipase digest fats into?
glycerol and fatty acids :P
What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
What breaks down fats into glycerol and fatty acids?
Lipase is the enzyme that targets lipid molecules.
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 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.
Is protease an enzyme?
No, there is a great difference between lipaseand protease. lipase: digest fats and oils into glycerol and fatty acids. protease: digest protein into amino acids.
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 is the substrate of gastric lipase?
Lipase cleaves fats into small molecules, glycerol and fatty acids.
What is a microbial lipase?
microbial lipase is an enzyme produced by micro-organisms ,which breaks down fats to fatty acids and glycerol
What molecules are made out of glycerol and fatty acids?
fats and waxes
