Which molecule may be formed by dehydration synthesis of fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules?

Dehydration synthesis is a generalized form for a condensation reaction. During a condensation reaction, glycerol and 3 fatty acid tails come together to form a triglyceride.

What is the chemical formula for sugar joining 3 glucose molecules?
Three molecules of water are released when the four glucose molecules are joined.
What is the size of a glycerol molecule in Angstroms?
The radius of a glycerol molecule is about 4.35 angstroms.
What is the chemical process in which smaller compounds are joined to form larger compounds?
synthesis
Why is the boiling point of glycerol higher than that of 1-pentanol?
Glycerol has a notoriously "bendy" structure with a lot of areas for other glycerol molecules to hook onto it and get tangled in the solution (this is why glycerol is one of the most viscous organic liquids as well) making it harder for the molecules to escape into the gas phase. Ethylene Glycol has a higher bp than ethanol because it has two free oxygen molecules on which hydrogen bonding can occur, while ethanol only has one. Generally you want to look at the type of intermolecular forces that would be present in a solution, the frequency of which they can occur, the mass of the substance (heavier has higher bp), and then the overarching structure of the molecule. Hope this helps!
What is a molecule that has a glycerol backbone two fatty acid chains and phosphate containing compound?
Fatty acids and glycerol may combine to form monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides (normal fats and oils). Addition of a phosphate group to a diglyceride will give a membrane lipid (phospholipid).
Which bio-molecule is involved in dehydration synthesis?
Dehydration synthesis refers to a reaction where molecules are joined by forming water. One molecule should have an should have a hydroxyl group, while the other molecule should have a hydrogen atom for dehydration synthesis to occur.
When two molecules are joined together chemically a molecule of water is released this is called?
Dehydration synthesis
A chemical reaction in which two molecules are bonded together with the removal of a water molecule?
Dehydration or Condensation Reactions dehydration synthesis
In a lipid synthesis reaction the greatest number of fatty acid molecules that could combine with on glycerol molecule is?
Three
What happen to monomers when they undergo dehydration synthesis.?
Monomers become chemically bonded to one another when they undergo dehydration synthesis and form dimers, or polymers. During dehydration synthesis, one monomer loses an H atom, and the other loses an OH group, which will form a molecule of water, which is why it is called a dehydration synthesis. A larger molecule will be synthesized with a loss of a water molecule. One example is the dehydration synthesis that occurs between the monosaccharides glucose and fructose, which yields the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar), and a molecule of water. Refer to the related link for an illustration.
How is dehydration synthesis and hydrolysis similar?
dehydration synthesis is when water is formed when combining two molecules. hydrolysis is adding water to make one molecule into two separate molecules.
When two molecules of glucose are joined by one molecule of water is romoved and a is formed?
dehydration synthesis, disaccharide
What occurs when two glucose molecules are chemically bonded and form of maltose?
The process known as dehydration synthesis occurs to join two glucose molucules. As they join, an OH- molecule joins with a Hydrogen to form H20 ( water). The water molecule leaves the new maltose molecule.
What is the definition of condensation synthesis?
A condensation reaction is a chemical reaction in which two molecules combine to form a larger molecule. It is also referred to as dehydration synthesis.
How do you reverse dehydration synthesis?
the opposite of the dehydration synthesis is hydrolysis. it does the exact opposite which is to break apart a molecule by adding a water molecule.
When one glycerol molecule covalently bonds via dehydration synthesswith three fatty acid molecules the resulting macromolecule is called?
Triglyceride
What molecules are released when fat undergoes a hydrolysis reaction?
A fat molecule forms when glycerol joins with three fatty acids as three water molecule are removed during dehydration reaction.
