What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
What waste molecules are produced as by-products to the metabolism of fats?
The waste molecules produced as by-products of fat metabolism are water and carbon dioxide. Water is typically formed when fatty acids are broken down in the body, while carbon dioxide is a byproduct of the oxidation of fatty acids for energy.
Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the?
Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the intestines, transporting them through the lymphatic system to the bloodstream. This process allows for the efficient absorption and distribution of dietary fats within the body for energy production and storage.
Is fat nucleic acid?
No, fat is not a nucleic acid. Fat, known scientifically as lipids, are molecules that store energy and provide structure to cell membranes. Nucleic acids, on the other hand, such as DNA and RNA, are molecules that store genetic information and are crucial for protein synthesis.
What type of organic molecule requires the action of emulsifiers to be sucessfully digested?
Fat molecules. Water molecule is polar, and therefore water is a good solvent for other polar molecules, dissolving them when they come in contact with one another. Water is not a good solvent for nonpolar molecules, such as fats. A fat has no polar grups to interact with water molecules. An emulsifier, however, can cause a fat to disperse in water. An emulsifier contains molecules with both polar and nonpolar ends. When the nonpolar ends interact with the fat and the polar ends interact with the water molecule, the fat disperses in water, and an emulsion results.
What happens to fat and sugar molecules when combined?
When fat and sugar molecules are combined, they form emulsions. This results in a stable mixture where the fat droplets are dispersed in the sugar solution. Depending on the ratios and types of fat and sugar used, the texture and mouthfeel of the resulting product can vary.
Is cholesterol fat?
Cholesterol is a waxy steroid found in animal fat, along with phospholipids and triglycerides. It can also be formed by the liver from molecules within the body.
How are trans fats formed?
Trans fats are made when manufactures add hydrogen to the fat molecules in vegetable oils.
Do molecules join to form fat in amino acids?
No, fat molecules are not formed by joining amino acids. Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycerol molecules, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The process of joining fatty acids and glycerol forms a fat molecule through a process known as esterification.
Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
What system is responsible for transporting fat-soluble nutrients from the digestive system to the bloodstream?
Fats. Fat molecules are a rich source of energy for the body. The first step in digestion of a fat such as butter is to dissolve it into the watery content of the intestinal cavity. The bile acids produced by the liver act as natural detergents to dissolve fat in water and allow the enzymes to break the large fat molecules into smaller molecules, some of which are fatty acids and cholesterol. The bile acids combine with the fatty acids and cholesterol and help these molecules to move into the cells of the mucosa. In these cells the small molecules are formed back into large molecules, most of which pass into vessels (called lymphatics) near the intestine. These small vessels carry the reformed fat to the veins of the chest, and the blood carries the fat to storage depots in different parts of the body.
What are the molecular units of fat molecules?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
Why does a milky white cloudy suspension formed when the food sample tested positive for fat?
The milky white cloudy suspension is formed due to the emulsification of fats in the food sample. The fat molecules are dispersed in the solution due to the emulsifying agent present in the test reagent, causing the cloudy appearance.
Is fat salt?
A salt is what is formed when a negative ion pairs up with a positive ion to neutralize their respective charges. A fat is a fairly complex molecule that has a glyceride, and a few chain of faty acids. They are very different molecules .
How many water molecules are formed when one fat molecule is produced.?
Three, because you end up w/ three "OH" and three "H". (oxygen and hydrogen and hydrogen).
What bile is responsible in globules of fat?
Bile comes from gall bladder. It contains the bile salts. These salts are responsible for emulsification of the fat in your food. that means very fine fat globules are formed. this helps to increase the surface area of the fat. That helps the fat splitting enzyme to brake the fat molecule into three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol.
How are fat molecules turned into fatty acids?
Fat Molecules can't be turned into fatty acids, because fatty acids are part of the elemental formula to create fat molecules. Three fat molecules and a glycerol molecule create a fat molecule. Remember each molecule isn't one thing, a molecule are two or more atoms connected in some way.
