How many fatty acids are added to a glycerol molecule to make a triglyceride?
3
What are the component molecules that form together to make a triglyceride?
Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form fat molecule?
You need 1 glycerol molecule and also 3 fatty acids to to make a lipid.
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...
What smaller molecules are fats made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
How many fatty acids are added to a glycerol molecule to make a triglyceride?
3
What process is used to combine the fatty acids and glycerol?
what is the process called that adds tree glycerol to 3 fatty acids? Glycerol is a sugar alcohol containing three hydrophillic hydroxyl groups. When these three OH groups are esterified with three fatty acids, the product is a triglyceride.
What is the biochemical make up of a triglyceride?
One [glycerin] glycerol molecule attached to three lipid [fatty acid] molecules.
What are the component molecules that form together to make a triglyceride?
Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
What are the unit molecules that make up fat?
The smaller molecules that make up a fat molecule are fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is an organic compound and fatty acids are made of chains of hydrocarbons.
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.
What components make up fat?
glycerol and fatty acids
How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form fat molecule?
You need 1 glycerol molecule and also 3 fatty acids to to make a lipid.
Is glycerol soluble in water?
Glycerol is very soluble in water. This is due to the reason that glycerol has three hydrophilic hydroxyl grups in its structure which make it very soluble in water.
Would water and glycerol form a solution?
Yes. Glycerol is miscible (soluble) in water, so it will make a solution.
What structural feature makes glycerol a polar molecule?
The OH's in glycerol are what make it polor. They lead to the formation of a dipole. As they do in Alcohol and Glycol.
What are components that make up fat?
glycerol and fatty acids
