Naturally occurring fats contain fatty acids in what formation?
Primarily tricycerides, in which a glycerol molecule bonds to three fatty acids.
What is considered a component of lipid?
Fatty acid, glycerol.
What is considered to be a component of lipids plasma cells fatty acids nuceic acid or zinc?
fats
What is the difference between fatty acids and free fatty acids?
Free fatty acids are those long chain acids (fatty acids) that are not conjugated or attached to anything else. That is, they are "free", and not bound. Fatty acids that are attached to, for example, glycerol, are not longer considered "free". They can also be bound to proteins, like albumin, again, making them not "free", because they are bound.
What us the name of the form of fatty acids in naturally occurring fats is generally called what?
Saturated
What is the most common building blocks of lipids?
Fatty acids and glycerol
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
Define fatty acid?
In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides orphospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as "free" fatty acids.
How does fat contribute to nutrition?
Fat supplies energy and transports nutrients. There are two families of fatty acids considered essential for the body: the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
