How does the name of a hydrocarbon tell you whether of not it is saturated?
Alkanes are saturated, so if the hydrocarbon has -ane at the end of it, it is saturated.
Do molecules join to form fats in fatty acids?
Fatty acids are molecules composed of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid group ( - COOH) at one end. The smallest molecule that could be called a fatty acid is acetic acid (CH3COOH which is the acid in vinegar) in which the hydrocarbon chain is only on carbon long (a methyl group - CH3). Fats are molecules composed of one to three (usually three) fatty acids bound by their carboxylic acid group to a glycerine molecule (see image above).
What are the ketoses sugar?
A ketose is a sugar containing one ketone group per molecule. With three carbon atoms, dihydroxyacetone is the simplest of all ketoses and is the only one having no optical activity. Ketoses can isomerize into an aldose when the carbonyl group is located at the end of the molecule. Such ketoses are reducing sugars.
Is chloroethene a alkane?
no, chloroethene is not an alkane as all alkanes end with an -ane so chloroethene will be an alkene as it ends with -ene.
Is the end of a soap molecule that attracts and dissolves oily dirt polar?
yes the hydrocarbon ends of the soap attracts to the dirt to form structures called micelles.........................hope this answer will help ppl!
What is the carbonyl group present at the end of a molecule will make the molecule?
The carbonyl group, -COOH, makes a molecule acidic.
How are fatty acids alike?
They all have a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group on the end.
Do fatty acids Contain an alcohol group at one end?
The fatty acids have carboxylic group 'COOH' at terminal this is a group having 'OH' group attached to carbonyl carbon but it is not alcohol.
The end of the fatty acid that does not attach to glycerol has what functional group?
I have to admit that I am bewildered by this question. It was on my review packet for pre-ap biology.
How does the name of a hydrocarbon tell you whether of not it is saturated?
Alkanes are saturated, so if the hydrocarbon has -ane at the end of it, it is saturated.
What formulas represents an aldlehye?
any with a hydrocarbon (R) bonded to CHO. the CHO functional group must be at the end of the formula, not in between hydrocarbons like a ketone
Difference between acidic hydrolysis and basic hydrolysis in amide?
Acidic Conditions: Begin by protonating the oxygen in the carbonyl group, in the next step you can add water to the activated nucleophile to make the tetrahedral intermediate. The rest of the reaction are acid base reactions to maintain an acidic equilibrium and end up the ammonium as the acid catalyst. Basic Conditions: You may begin by adding the hydroxyl group to the carbonyl carbon and then protonating the now negative oxygen from the previous alkene with the proton left over by the hydroxyl group (originally it was water). You need to dissociate your tetrahedral intermediate by protonating the amide and then pushing it out when you take the proton by the oxygen pushing the electrons to make a double bond to form the carbonyl group and push out the NH3. In the end base deprotonates the carboxylic acid and you wind up with ammonium. The main key is equilibrium, you end up with a negative charged ion at the end because you maintain a negative charge in a basic mechanism.

What are subunits of Lipids?
Lipids are a group of hydrophobic chemical structures comprised of fats, oils, steroids, phospholipids, and waxes. The basic subunits of most of these are fatty acids, which have a hydrocarbon backbone and a carboxyl group at one end.
Is fat a polymer?
polymer
