What are the 2 monomers for fats?
The two parts of the fats molecules are the glycerol and the fatty acids.
What are non polar molecules that include fats oils and cholesterol?
Lipid
Fats are composed of three fatty acid molecules joined to a molecule of?
glycerol
Why are fats esters?
Organic acids react with alcohols to form an ester and water. Fats are made up of 3 molecules of carboxylic acids (organic acid) and 1 molecule of glycerol (alcohol). So fats are esters.
What smaller molecules are fats made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
What are the three nutrients foods are comprised of?
carbohydrates, proteins and fats
What are the molecules in proteins?
Proteins are comprised of amino acids.
Is total body fat comprised of essential and storage body fats?
True
What are the 2 monomers for fats?
The two parts of the fats molecules are the glycerol and the fatty acids.
Which fats result when manufacture add hydrogen to fat molecules in vegetables oil?
trans fats
What describes starches fats proteins and DNA?
They are complex molecules made from smaller molecules.
What kind of organic molecules are fats and oils!?
lipids
What are lipids of large molecules?
Lipids are fats, or to be technical, they are non-polar organic molecules. They do form large molecules but they do not polymerize.
Do amino acid molecules join to form fats?
No. Amino acid molecules join together via peptide bonds to form peptides and proteins, not fats. Fats generally form from long chain fatty acids and glycerol.
What breaks down fat?
Fats are made up of lipid molecules. Lipase is the enzyme that breaks up the lipid molecules.
How are fats valuable or used by your body?
lipids or fats are used for structural roles, precursor molecules, anchors for peripheral surface proteins, signalling molecules and of course energy source.
Is water made out molecules?
No, water is a molecule; it is comprised of hydrogen and oxygen atoms.
