The class of biological molecule that contains fatty acids is lipids.
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
carboxyl group
What is a triglyceride is a common type of lipid contains?
a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. A triglyceride is a common type of lipid, which contains a glycerol molecule and three fatty acids. Most of the lipids (fats) that humans digest are triglycerides.
Are fatty acids sub-units of carbohydrates?
No. The sub-units for carbohydrates is a monosaccharide such as glucose or fructose. Fatty acids are what results from the sub-unit aliphatic compounds and glycerol.
Structurally how do omega-3 fatty acids differ from omega-6 fatty acids?
Like many organic compounds, the names of fatty acids such as omega-6 and omega-3 contain numbers that are used to describe the position of certain features of the molecule. In the case of omega fatty acids, the numbers 3 and 6 tell where the final carbon-carbon double bond is located. The numbers tell how many carbon-carbon bonds away from the carboxyl group this bond is. Omega-6 fatty acids are generally regarded as unhealthy when eaten in larger quantities than omega-3 fatty acids because they interfere with the omega-3's functions in the body.
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
What class of biological molecules contains fatty acids?
The class of biological molecule that contains fatty acids is lipids.
What statements is false about omega fatty acids?
Omega fatty acids are not saturated compounds.
Is there carbon in fatty acids?
Of course, fatty acids are organic compounds and they can not exist without carbon.
Is carbon in fatty acids?
Of course, fatty acids are organic compounds and they can not exist without carbon.
Why do oils contain fatty acids?
because your a fatty
What compounds make a fatty acid?
Fatty acids are produced by the hydrolysis of the ester linkages in a fat or biological oil (both of which are triglycerides), with the removal of glycerol. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
carboxyl group
What compounds make up fat?
glycerol and fatty acids
Which of the following compounds cannot be converted to glucose?
Fatty Acids.
Are fatty acids with double bonds saturated or not?
Fatty acids containing double bonds are unsaturated fatty acids as they still contain sp2 carbon atoms within them.
What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
