Triglycerides are composed of what?
1 glycerol molecule and 3 fatty acid molecules.
What is the structure of a triglyceride, with one fatty acid bound to a glycerol backbone?
A triglyceride with one fatty acid bound to a glycerol backbone has a structure where the fatty acid is attached to one of the three hydroxyl groups on the glycerol molecule. This forms an ester bond between the fatty acid and the glycerol, creating a molecule with a glycerol backbone and one fatty acid chain attached.
What 3 fatty acids bind with glycerol to make triglyceride?
Glycerol has 3 OH groups and a fatty acid has one carboxyl group. One mole of Glycerol reacts with 3 moles of fatty acid to give 3 moles of water and one of the glycerine tri-ester - more commonly called a triglceride.
Macromolecules that are formed when a fatty acid joins a glycerol?
Triglycerides (3 fatty acids + 1 gylcerol)
What are the monomers of triglyceride?
The monomers of triglyceride are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule with hydroxyl groups, and fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one end. When these two components combine through dehydration synthesis, they form a triglyceride molecule with three fatty acid chains attached to the glycerol backbone.
What is the end product of fat digestion?
The end products of fat digestion are fatty acids and glycerol.
What are the component molecules that form together to make a triglyceride?
Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
What is considered a component of lipid?
Fatty acid, glycerol.
What is a name of the molecule glycerol fatty acids?
If 1 of the glycerol's OH groups is attached to a fatty acid it is a monoglyceride. If it is 2 or 3 then it is a di or triglyceride respectively. If there are 3 fatty acids and one gycleride, then the substance is namely a lipid.
Triglycerides are molecules consisting of one 3-carbon compound called?
A glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
What is the products of the saponification of tripalmitin?
Tripalmitin is a 16 carbon saturated fatty acid. Saponification is a reaction involving a strong base (ex: NaOH) and a fatty acid. The reaction yields a glycerol and 3 fatty acid salts. Therefore the reaction products are: glycerol: CH2(OH)--CH(OH)--CH2(OH) + 3 fatty acid salts: CH3--(CH2)14--COO(-) Na(+) + 3H2O Above is actually a summary of what is in reality a 2-step reaction: the fatty acid reacts with H2O first to yield a glycerol and 3 fatty acids; the fatty acids subsequently reacts with the alkaline (base) (NaOH) to yield 3 fatty acid salts and H2O
What is is the monomer of lipid?
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
