How are amino acid molecules and fatty acid molecules the same?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
What type of Bond forms a fatty acid to a 3-carbon backbone?
ester linkages
What pattern does appear in the fatty acid molecules regarding the number of oxygen atoms?
The atoms are proportion is the pattern that is found in the fatty acid molecules. There are two oxygen atoms found.
What are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules?
lipases
Give two ways fatty acid molecules differ?
differ from what?
How do fatty acid molecules differ from amino acid molecule?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
How are amino acid molecules and fatty acid molecules the same?

How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form a fat molecules?
3 fatty acids!
How are amino acid molecules and fatty acid molecules different?
amino acids are proteins which help with growth while fatty acid is used to provide energy for the body
What are the molecular units of fat molecules?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
In the triglycerides molecules shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecules?
FATTY ACIDS APEX
What is fat in science terms?
a fat is a large lipid made from 2 kinds of smaller molecules: glycerol and fatty acids
What molecules is made of glycerol and fatty acid?
lipids
What type of Bond forms a fatty acid to a 3-carbon backbone?
ester linkages
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.
What pattern does appear in the fatty acid molecules regarding the number of oxygen atoms?
The atoms are proportion is the pattern that is found in the fatty acid molecules. There are two oxygen atoms found.
What are digestive enzymes that hydrolyze molecules of fat into fatty acid and glycerol molecules?
