What group of organic compounds does fat belong in?
Fats are triglycerides they belong to LIPIDS class of organic compounds.
What group of organic compounds does cholesterol belong to?
Cholesterol belongs to the group of organic compounds known as sterols. Sterols are a subgroup of steroids that contain a hydroxyl group at the C-3 position of the A-ring.
What group does steroids belong?
Steroids are their own group. The calssification of steroids depends on whether it comes from animals or plants, their structure, their uses etc.
What organic group are hormones classified in?
Some hormones (such as steroids) are classified under lipids which actually belong to Esters group. Other hormones are proteins which belong to amine group (they are made up of amino acids).
Are a group of organic compounds including fats phospholipids and steroids?
Lipids
What is an example of a phospholipid?
A phospholipid is an organic compound that contains a phosphare group in the molecule and is a fatty acid or derivative of a fatty acid. Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. They include many natural oils, waxes, and steroids.
What organic group does triglycerides belong to?
Triglycerides belong to the organic group known as lipids. They are composed of glycerol and three fatty acid chains, making them a type of fat that serves as a major energy storage molecule in living organisms. Triglycerides are important for insulating and protecting organs in addition to providing energy.
What functional group can cause an organic molecule to act as an acid?
A carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) can cause an organic molecule to act as an acid. It donates a proton (H+) in solution, making the molecule acidic.
Is steroid an example of lipid?
No. A phospholipid is comprised of a phosphate group combined with, usually, a diglyceride. It has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. A steroid is a heterocyclic (multi-ringed) aromatic molecule. It is typically hydrophobic. However, both molecules are used in forming the cell membrane.
Why functional group is a group but not a molecule?
Functional group is a part of an organic molecule which takes a part in chemical reaction for example in alcohols functional group is -OH , in carboxylic acids is -COOH and so on, but formaldehyde CH2O is a molecule and it is completely a functional group.
Is ch3 a organic molecule?
yes because it contains carbon so it is organic
S a group of atoms that determines many of the properties of an organic molecule?
funtional group
