When neutral molecules gain or lose electrons are called?
An ion.
What molecule remains unchanged in all fat molecules?
Glycerol is a chemical compound with the formula HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH. This colorless, odorless, viscous liquid is widely used in pharmaceutical formulations. Also commonly called glycerin or glycerine, it is a sugar alcohol and fittingly is sweet-tasting and of low toxicity. Glycerol has three hydrophilic alcoholic hydroxyl groups that are responsible for its solubility in water and its hygroscopic nature. Its surface tension is 64.00 mN/m at 20 °C and it has a temperature coefficient of -0.0598 mN/(m K). It is a central component of lipids.
When there is a chemical reation between 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 glycerol molecule combine to form fat what is this reaction called?
Triglyceride
When one glycerol molecule covalently bonds via dehydration synthesswith three fatty acid molecules the resulting macromolecule is called?
Triglyceride
What is a chemical chain containing carbon hydrogen and oxygen atoms that is the basic component of all liquids?
fat soluble, naturally occurring molecules
Triglycerides are molecules consisting of one 3-carbon compound called?
A glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
What is the alcohol found in a triglyceride?
There is no alcohol in a triglyceride, but one is produced when it is hydrolysed. This alcohol is glycerol.
What is H12C6O6 also called?
it is glycerol, a component of fats.IUPAC name would be: propane-1,2,3-triol
What molecules are made up of glycerol and fatty acids?
Lipid
When neutral molecules gain or lose electrons are called?
An ion.
Do neutral particles formed as a result of covalent bonding called molecules?
No, a neutral particle that forms as a result of electrons sharing are called a molecule.

What consists of glycerol attached to three fatty acids?
Is the composition of FAT ...Actually, it is a lipid.
How is fat formed from glycerol and a fatty acid?
Fats are hydrolised to fatty acids and glycerol by fat digestion which is aided by enzymes called lipases. Since fat molecules are large in size, a larger surface area needs to be provided; this occurs during emulsification in which bile, produced by the liver, is secreted, by the gall bladder, onto fat globules in the duodenum to emulsify fats into small droplets on which lipase can function in order to break-down the fats and produce glycerol and fatty acids. Hydrogen carbonate is secreted, as well, in order to neutralize the hydrochloric acid from the stomach; an almost-neutral pH (7.5) is optimal for the activity of lipases.
You identify these units as glycerol molecules because the liver cells are bonding them together to form very long branched polymers called what?
polysaccharides
When there is a chemical reation between 3 fatty acid molecules and 1 glycerol molecule combine to form fat what is this reaction called?
Triglyceride
What are an electrically neutral group of atoms joined together by covelent bonds are called?
molecules
