A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and .?
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol
Name three saturated and three unsaturated fatty acids?
Fatty Acids are the name we use to give Carboxylic Acids with long hydrocarbon chains.These hydrocarbon chains can contain one or more double bonds, which we can refer to the Fatty Acid as being unsaturated.Saturated fatty acids are simple long chains.Some Examples:SaturatedStearic Acid - CH3(CH2)16COOHLauric Acid - CH3(CH2)10COOHArachidic Acid - CH3(CH2)18COOHUnsaturatedOleic Acid - CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOHErucic Acid - CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)11COOHPalmitoleic Acid - CH3(CH2)5CH=CH(CH2)7COOH
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
What is each phospholipid made up of?
Phospholipid heads are made of a glyceride with a phosphate group.
What is an organic substance made of the elements CH and O it is usually found in long chains in lipids a glycerol and three of these form a fat or lipid?
fatty acid
What is a fatty acid.?
A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid (an acid with a -COOH group) with long hydrocarbon side chains.
What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
Long chains of amino acid are found in?
Amino acids bond together to make long chains and those long chains of amino acids are also called proteins.
How do fatty acids differ from one another?
different enzymes break each different chain down
Are long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms that combine with glycerol molecules to form a lipid?
Fatty acid molecules do so.
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and what?

What Acid molecules are long chains of carbon atom found in lipids?
They are fatty acids; they are attached to a glycerol molecule to form a lipid.
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and what else?
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol
A lips has three long chains of fatty acids and?
A lip has three long chains of fatty acids, neutral fats, long-chain bases, and long-chain alcohols.
How does phospholipid differ from triglyceride?
Phospholipids are a class of lipids, and a major component of all biological membranes, along with glycolipids, cholesterol and proteins. Phospholipids consist of a glycerol molecule chemically bonded to 2 long fatty acid chains and a phosphoester through a process called condensation. Phospholipids are amphipatic (has a hydrophillic region and a hydrophobic region) due to the hydrophillic phosphoester and the hydrophobic fatty acid chains. Triglycerides are the chemical form in which most fat exists in food as well as in the body. They're also present in blood plasma. These consist of a glycerol molecule chemically bonded to 3 long fatty acid chains via a process called condensation. Triglycerides are hydrophobic as the long fatty acid chains are hydrophobic as they are far too long to react with water.
