What part of the fatty acid is hydrophilic?
A fatty acid consists of the polar acidic -COOH functional group and the non-polar alkyl CnH2n+1 chain, which in most cases, n=15-18. A triglyceride consists of distinct hydrophillic (glycerol) and hydrophobic (fatty acid) sections, but to answer your question, the fatty acid itself has a hydrophillic part which is the -COOH group.
What are the two parts of a fatty acid?
If you mean triglycerides which is the fat most people talk about then its glycerol and fatty acids.
What is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed a?
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed monounsaturated, medium chain fatty acid. The process of adding hydrogen too an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called hydrogenation.
What is the structure of a triglyceride, with one fatty acid bound to a glycerol backbone?
A triglyceride with one fatty acid bound to a glycerol backbone has a structure where the fatty acid is attached to one of the three hydroxyl groups on the glycerol molecule. This forms an ester bond between the fatty acid and the glycerol, creating a molecule with a glycerol backbone and one fatty acid chain attached.
What bond connect monomer of lipids?
The basic building block or monomer of lipids is a fatty acid. Fatty acids consist of a hydrophilic (water-attracting) carboxylic acid group at one end and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) hydrocarbon chain at the other end. These fatty acids can join together through dehydration synthesis to form various types of lipids such as triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesterol.
What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
These are called fatty acids. They are organic molecules made up of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end. Fatty acids are essential components of lipids and can vary in length and saturation.
Why is oleic acid not classified as a saturated fatty acid?
Oleic acid has one double bond in its carbon chain, making it a monounsaturated fatty acid. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in their carbon chain, which is why oleic acid is not classified as saturated.
What are the two main parts of a triglyceride?
A head and a tail. The head is hydrophilic (polar) and the tail is hydrophobic (nonpolar) .
What is the composition of a lipid?
glycerol and 3 fatty acids.. The length of fatty acid chains and the saturation will give different kinds of lipids. Some lipids called as phospholipids as the contain one phosphoric acid molecule instead of one fatty acid..
What describes a fatty acid that has one double bond?
A fatty acid with one double bond is called a monounsaturated fatty acid. This double bond creates a kink in the fatty acid chain, affecting its physical properties such as melting point and fluidity. Common examples include oleic acid found in olive oil and palmitoleic acid found in macadamia nuts.
