Lipids. (Fat.)
Glycerol & Fatty acids
The smaller molecules that make up a fat molecule are fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is an organic compound and fatty acids are made of chains of hydrocarbons.
triglyceride
Triglycerides are organic compounds, specifically esters of glycerin with organic acids.
Lipid
fatty acids and glycerol
No, lipid is a type of macromolecule. Lipid is a large and diverse group that includes the molecule glycerol. Glycerol is an organic compound that is part of triglyceride, which is part of lipid.
The smaller molecules that make up a fat molecule are fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is an organic compound and fatty acids are made of chains of hydrocarbons.
glycerol and fatty acids :P
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
A lipid is composed of glycerol and three fatty acids (usually long-chain).
Glycerol and fatty acids both belong to the broader category of lipids, which are organic compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Specifically, they are components of triglycerides, where glycerol acts as the backbone and fatty acids serve as the attached hydrophobic chains. Both play crucial roles in energy storage and cellular structure in living organisms.
