fatty acids (APEX)
Three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule make a single tryglyceride and 3 water molecules.
The cell would dissolve in water.
The cell would dissolve in water.
Small, nonpolarn hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids easily pass through a membrane's lipid bilayer.
The cell would dissolve in water.
Nonpolar Fatty acid chains
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
