What else can I help you with?
Which organic molecule is related to lipids?
fatty acids are most closely related to lipids
How is each triglyceride different from the others?
it has different fatty acids
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
What is the Subunit of triglycerides?
The subunit of triglycerides is glycerol and fatty acids. Triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule bound to three fatty acid molecules.
What are the building blocks of triglycerides?
Two building blocks of triglyceride; Glycerol & 3 fatty acids.
What are the products of triglycerides?
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
Glycerol and fatty acids are found in what type molecule?
Unreacted fatty acids are rare in nature, but most fats and oils are triglycerides of fatty acids, and the acids can be recovered by hydrolyzing the triglycerides. This process is sometimes called "saponification" when the hydrolysis is aided by strong alkali, as in that instance the primary products (aside from glycerin) are salts of fatty acids, which are often good soaps.
What is the word equation for triglycerides?
The word equation for triglycerides is "triglyceride = glycerol + 3 fatty acids."
What is nonpolar component of triglycerides?
The fatty acids of a triglyceride are nonpolar.
Triglycerides are a form of fatty acids stored in adipose tissue for energy?
Triglycerides are found in the adipose tissue and when broken down into the form of fatty acids it releases energy. Triglycerides not only stores fats but excess proteins and carbohydrates.
In addition to fatty acid what else are triglycerides made from?
Triglycerides are composed of three fatty acid molecules and one glycerol molecule. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which the fatty acids are esterified, forming the triglyceride structure. This combination of glycerol and fatty acids makes triglycerides a key form of energy storage in the body.
Does triglycerides have a compound containing phosphorus?
No, triglycerides are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids. They do not contain phosphorus.
