Two major types of fat exists: brown fat and white fat. The two types have different functions carried out by two distinct types of cells (brown fat cells and white fat cells). Brown fat cells are specialised heat producers, while white fat cells store and release fats.

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 individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
A fat is an ester of three 'fatty acids' and glycerol.
What can the shape of molecule affect?
The molecule's function and chemical and physical properties
What affects the shape of a molecule?
The molecule's function and chemical and physical properties
What best explains how the structure of starch molecule relates to its function?
The function of a starch molecule is energy storage.. Therefore, as form fits function, starch is a very long molecule with many..many...many bonds that store the energy.
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 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.
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.
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.
What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
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.
How are fat molecules turned into fatty acids?
Fat Molecules can't be turned into fatty acids, because fatty acids are part of the elemental formula to create fat molecules. Three fat molecules and a glycerol molecule create a fat molecule. Remember each molecule isn't one thing, a molecule are two or more atoms connected in some way.
What is a simple fat molecule?
a lipid
What type of molecule is Triglycerides?
A fat
What molecule makes up a fat?
a large fat molecule is made up of 2 things. these are called glycerol and fatty acids
How many calories are in a fat molecule?
Not sure about a molecule but 1g has 9 calories
What can the shape of molecule affect?
The molecule's function and chemical and physical properties
