Fat molecules are made up of a molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids. The fatty acids each consist of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end, while the glycerol molecule has three hydroxyl groups that interact with each carboxyl.
Carbon dioxide ( Co2 )
Lipids are unlike the other macromolecules in that they do not have monomers per se. They are made up of glycerol and fatty acids, but it's not like DNA which is made up of nucleotides or proteins that are made up of amino acids. However, they are still considered macromolecules as lipids are a large category of important molecules in the human body.
Glycolysis breaks glucose (a six-carbon-molecule) down into pyruvate (a three-carbon molecule). In eukaryotes, pyruvate moves into the mitochondria. It is converted into acetyl-CoA by decarboxylation and enters the citric acid cycle.
A single-stranded non-circular DNA molecule has two non-identical ends, the 3' end and the 5' end (usually pronounced "three prime end" and "five prime end"). The numbers refer to the numbering of carbon atoms in the deoxyribose, which is a sugar forming an important part of the backbone of the DNA molecule. In the backbone of DNA the 5' carbon of one deoxyribose is linked to the 3' carbon of another by a phosphate group. The 5' carbon of this deoxyribose is again linked to the 3' carbon of the next, and so forth.
Neutral fats are esthers of a glycerol molecule, and three fatty acid molecules.
Fat is not a polymere, however most fats are threefold esters of glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) and three (different) long chain fatty acids.Example:stearine (or tristearin, or glyceryl tristearate) is made by esterfication (three times):C3H5(OH)3 + 3 C17H35COOH → C3H5(C18H35O2)3 + 3 H2O
Fat molecules are made up of a molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids. The fatty acids each consist of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end, while the glycerol molecule has three hydroxyl groups that interact with each carboxyl.
All organic compounds like Glucose, Methane, Glycerol contain carbon. In addition to these Carbon atoms are also found in many inorganic compounds like Calcium Carbonate, Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide.
first of all, fat is broken down into 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol molecule. how? a little enzyme, called lipase, is formed in the pancreas(near your liver) like all enzymes, it is shaped to perfectly fit its object, in this case, fat using its awesome 'skill', it separates the fat, and there you have it!
Any organic molecule contain carbon.
This question doesn't really make sense. Lipids are the combination of a glycerol backbone with three fatty acid chains attached to it. The length and hydrogen saturation of the carbon atoms that form the links of the fatty acid chains determine the physical properties of the lipid in question. When all the carbon is fully saturated, meaning two of its bonds are linked to other carbons in the chain, and two are taken up by hydrogens off to the sides, the chain will be straight. If a hydrogen is missing, then the carbon will be double-bonded to another carbon, to fill all four of its available bonds, which produces a kink in the chain due to the Y-like shape of double bond structures.The saturated fatty acids have an easier time fitting together, as they are all alike in shape, meaning that they solidify at or near room temperature. Unsaturated fats, or lipids, do not fit together as well, and remain liquid under the same conditions. It is thought that the ease of becoming "gooey" might be responsible for the increase in clogged arteries in persons who eat more saturated fats, though there are many other variables at work.
Each molecule of carbon dioxide has two C=O double bonds, like this: O=C=O.
NH3Looks like three atoms of hydrogen are in a molecule of ammonia.
They are both esters. Triglycerides have three fatty acids and one glycerol, while phospholipids have two fatty acids and one glycophosphate.
Carbon exists both as atomic carbon (a single carbon atom) and as carbon molecules (Fullerenes) The atomic carbon is a very short lived species. The Fullerenes (like Buckey Balls) are very stable.
No. A Carbon atom, like all atoms, only contain Subatomic Particles. A Molecule is a chain of atoms linked together with an atomic bond.
