lipids
What else can I help you with?
What type of molecules are made when lipase catalyses the breakdown of fats?
Catalyses the breakdown of lipids (fat molecules) into fatty acid and glycerol molecules
What smaller molecules are fats made up of?
Fats are made up of smaller molecules called fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one end, while glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol that forms the backbone of triglycerides, the main type of fat in our bodies.
What is a fat molecule made of?
A fat molecule is made of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. The fatty acids provide energy storage and insulation, while glycerol serves as a backbone for the fatty acids to attach to.
Glycerol and fatty acids corresponds with what?
Glycerol and fatty acids correspond with triglycerides, which are a type of lipid molecule. Triglycerides are made up of one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. They are an important source of energy storage in the body.
In addition to fatty acid what else are triglycerides made from?
Triglycerides are composed of three fatty acid molecules and one glycerol molecule. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which the fatty acids are esterified, forming the triglyceride structure. This combination of glycerol and fatty acids makes triglycerides a key form of energy storage in the body.
What is a monomer for lipids?
The monomer for a lipid would be 3 fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.
What are tryglisorides?
Triglycerides are molecules made from three molecules, usually fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule. They are more often known as lipids, or fats. A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long alkyl group.
What molecules are made up of glycerol and fatty acids?
Lipid
What are subunits that make up fat?
Two subunits that make up a fat molecule are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and fatty acids consist of hydrogen atoms, chains of carbon, and a carboxylic acid group.
What is a unit of fat?
A basic unit of fat is a triglyceride. It is primarily made up of a fatty acid and three glycerol molecules
What are the component molecules that form together to make a triglyceride?
Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
What are the building blocks of triglycerols?
i think there is an error with your question, your question would have been; What are the building blocks of triglycerides? The building blocks of triglycerides are : a glycerol back bone and three fatty acid molecules
