Fatty acids are used to make lipids in a cell. They also attach to a phosphate group to form phospholipids, the phosphate head being hydrophilic and the two fatty acid tails being hydrophobic, that are used to form the lipid bilayer in the cell membrane.

Are fatty acids crucial for muscle function?
Yes; at rest, muscles use free fatty acids for metabolism.
What is the function of the fatty acids in the plasma membrane?
the function of the fatty acid tail is attract water.
What is the function of phosphoglycerides in digestion?
The function of phosphoglycerides in digestion is to consume fatty acids. They are similar to triglycerides but only eat two types of fatty acids, phosphoric acid and glycerol.
What are the vesicles that function in the metabolism of fatty acids in a cell?
peroxisomes
What function group do all fatty acids have in common?
The carboxyl group
Do bile salts function as a digestive enzymes to break down fatty acids?
Yes.
Zellweger syndrome normal function of the organelle?
As a result of impaired peroxisome function, an individual's tissues and cells can accumulate very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) and branched chain fatty acids (BCFA) that are normally degraded in peroxisomes.
What is the most common building blocks of lipids?
Fatty acids and glycerol
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
What is the function of perexisomes in a cell?
The function of the peroxisome is to oxidise fatty acids and break down substances that are toxic or exceed the limits,
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
