What fat molecule has the most H atoms?
The fat molecule that has the most H, or hydrogen, atoms is the saturated fat molecule. This is because this particular molecule has no double bonds in its structure.
What smaller molecule make up a fat molecule?
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.
Is fat an element or a compound?
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
Is fat in animals in a compound?
Yes, animal fat would be classified as a chemical compound. A compound is a combination of 2 or more elements. Fat is a macromolecule containing many different elements. Triglycerides, for example, have a glycerol "head" molecule attached to 3 hydrocarbon "tail" chains.
What is fat element or a compound?
Fat is a compound.
What organic compound is considered to be a long storage of energy?
Lipids, more generally thought of as fat molecules, are used by cells to store energy. They are also an important structure molecule and can be used for signaling.
What two molecule types are needed to form a molecule or a fat?
You mean of a fat?
What is a fat molecule made of?
A fat molecule is made up of glycerol which is linked to fatty acids.
How much fat is in a orange?
The only fat in an orange is the trace amount in the oil that is in the zest. The flesh or juice has no fat.
What to molecule types are needed to form a molecule of fat?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
Is fat an element?
No fat is a compound
What individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
