What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
Is an fatty acid A lipid?
Yes, fatty acids are one type of lipid.
What three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule?
A triglyceride is three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule.
What are the structural units of lipids?
the basic unit off of lipids is glcouse and energy
What What are made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
Do amino acids differ from fatty acids?
There are 20 different amino acids. They differ from one another because they all have different side chains.
What substances are found in oil?
fatty acids and glycerol
What does the hydrolysis of lipid molecules yield?
fatty acids and glycerol
How are amino acids different from one another?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule of what?
A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule Glycerol, C3H5(OH)3.
What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
What way do amino acids differ from one another?
They have different side chains.
Is an fatty acid A lipid?
Yes, fatty acids are one type of lipid.
How does one protein differ from another protein?
how does one protein differ from another protein?
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and what?
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and .?
A lipid has three long chains of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol
Which micromolecule is made of glycerol and fatty acids?
A triglyceride is a macromolecule composed of one glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acids.
