What are the component of phospholipid?
Fatty acids , Glycerol , phosphoric acid and nitrogenous base are components of phospholipid.
Do fatty acids and glycerol both contain an amino group?
No - neither of them do.
What are subunits that make up fat?
Two subunits that make up a fat molecule are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and fatty acids consist of hydrogen atoms, chains of carbon, and a carboxylic acid group.
What are the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
Are a kind of lipid that consists of two fatty acids and phosphate group?
A phospholipid consists of two fatty acids and a phosphate group bonded to a glycerol molecule.
What is the basic structure of a triglyceride?
gycerol bound to 3 fatty acid is triglyceride..gylcerol a 3 carbon skeleton with a hydroxyl group attached to each carbon, Fatty acid= a caboxyl group attached to a long carbon skeleton the function triglyceride is to store energy in form of fatty acids, most efficient and compact way of storing energy
What functional group found in amino acids is absent from monosaccharides polysaccharides fatty acids and glycerol?
-NH2
What forms when two fatty acids combine with a phosphate group?
Two fatty acids and a phosphate group are found in a phospholipid.Strictly, there is glycerol in there as well.The lipids known as triglycerides are formed from glycerol and three fatty acids. You can think of most phospholipids as being triglycerides with one of the outer fatty acids replaced by a phosphate group. Usually, the phosphate group is part of a larger group.In one common phospholipid, sphingomyelin, there is serine instead of glycerol.The phospholipids are important components of all cell membranes, internal and external.
What is a molecule that has a glycerol backbone two fatty acid chains and phosphate containing compound?
Fatty acids and glycerol may combine to form monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides (normal fats and oils). Addition of a phosphate group to a diglyceride will give a membrane lipid (phospholipid).
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...
Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
What kind of lipid breaks down into glycerol and phosphate?
Phospholipid breaks down into Glycerol, phosphate group and 2 fatty acids
