what are the molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?
Each phosphate is made up of what
What is each phospholipid made up of?
Phospholipid heads are made of a glyceride with a phosphate group.
What is the phospholipids in the cell membrane composed of?
A phosphate group into fatty acid chains
What compound is diglycerides?
The formula for diglycerides is C3H6(OR)2(OH). This chemical is a glyceride that has two fatty acid chains.
What is the Difference between phospholipids and triglycerides?
A triglyceride is a polymer composed of a single glycerol molecule linked up to three fatty acid chains. A phospholipid is two fatty acid chains linked up to a phosphorus head. The primary function of a triglyercide is energy storage, whereas a phospholipid's primary function is the primary component of cell membranes. Both are lipids.
What molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?
A phospholipid has 2 fatty acid chains and a phosphate group.
What are molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?
phospholipids
What is a unsaturated lipid?
An unsaturated lipid is a fat in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. Two kinds of fatty acid chains are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated.
What two parts make up a lipid?
a glycerol and 3 fatty acids for a generic fat. a phosphate group, glycerol and two fatty acid chains for a phospholipid...

What is each phospholipid made up of?
Phospholipid heads are made of a glyceride with a phosphate group.
What is the phospholipids in the cell membrane composed of?
A phosphate group into fatty acid chains
How ar phospholipid different from from triglyceride?
One of the glycerine ester bonding sites is taken by a phosphate group and this allows only two fatty acid tails in the phospholipid molecule.
What is a phosopholipid molecule composed of?
A phospholipid molecule is composed of an organic phosphate group, a triglyceride, and two fatty acid chains. Within the phospohlipid there is a phosphodiester linkage and two ester linkages.
What compound is diglycerides?
The formula for diglycerides is C3H6(OR)2(OH). This chemical is a glyceride that has two fatty acid chains.
What What are made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
How is the type of fatty acid present in a neutral fat or phospholipid related to that molecules properties?
The type of fatty acid presented in a neural fat are one (monoglyceride) two (diglyceride) and three (triglyceride) fatty acids. They relate to this molecules properties because they make up the fats and oils found in plants and animals. In phospholipids they consist of a glycerol attached to two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group. the phosphate end of the molecule is attracted to water (it is hydrophillic) while the fatty acid end is repelled (hydrophobic). these properties help this molecule repel and attract water, functions of a cell membrance. well all i know 11 year student, double check because i will.
