Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
IS FAT A HORMONE OR ENZYME?
No it is not a hormone or an enzyme. It is a type of molecules
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 type of molecules pass through the cell membrane?
All ionic molecules and all large fat molecules. What can get in (without help) is water and dissolved gases.
What is the most important type of intermolecular forces between fat molecules and petroleum ether molecules?
The most important type of intermolecular force between fat molecules and petroleum ether molecules is London dispersion forces. These forces are temporary and arise from the fluctuations in electron distribution within molecules, allowing for weak attractions between nonpolar molecules like fats and petroleum ether.
What is the term for a type of lipid that has one double bond between two of its carbon molecules?
The term for a type of lipid that has one double bond between two of its carbon molecules is called a monounsaturated fat.
Is animal fat a lipid?
Yes, animal fat is a type of lipid. Lipids are a class of organic molecules that includes fats, oils, and waxes. Animal fat is composed of triglycerides, which are a type of lipid made up of fatty acids and glycerol.
What are the molecular units of fat molecules?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
Is fat a mixture?
No, fat is not a mixture. Fat is a type of nutrient and is composed of molecules called fatty acids, which are chemically bonded together in specific arrangements to form triglycerides. This means that fat is a pure substance rather than a mixture.
Is unsaturated fat a polymer?
No, unsaturated fat is not a polymer. It is a type of fat molecule that has double bonds in its carbon chain, making it different from polymers, which are large molecules made up of repeating units called monomers.
What type of molecule do whales use for energy storage and insulation?
Whales use fat or lipid molecules for energy and insulation.
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.
