They have more bonds, the more bonds a molecule has the more energy is released when the molecule is broken down, which is also why saturated fats have more energy than unsaturated fats or sugars

What process is used to combine the fatty acids and glycerol?
what is the process called that adds tree glycerol to 3 fatty acids? Glycerol is a sugar alcohol containing three hydrophillic hydroxyl groups. When these three OH groups are esterified with three fatty acids, the product is a triglyceride.
What are the components of nucleic acids?
The components of nucleic acids are nucleotides, which contain a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
Which statement is true simple sugars are made of polysaccharides glycerol is made of fatty acids DNA is made of nucleotides amino acids are made of proteins?
Statement three is true; glycerol combined with fatty acids become glycerides, polysaccharides are comprised of simple sugar monomers and proteins are composed from a pallette of primarily twenty amino acids.
Term for Nucleic acids that contain the sugar deoxyribose?
Deoxyribonucleic acid
Name 3 parts to a nucleotide then draw and label one?
The 3 parts of a nucleotide are : base,phosphate and sugar. :)
How do animals transport materials?
Energy comes from fatty acids which form from excess glucose( sugar) and lipids( fats). When energy is needed these fatty acids cross into the mitochondria and are broken down into acetyl choline- which is the energy block. Animals, therefore, transport energy in fat cells.
Why fatty acids used in antioxide?
sugar and salt Sugar, salt
Mechanism by which human being gets energy from food?
Digestion. The body breaks down your food into micronutrients like glucose - sugar, which gives the body energy by going to the cells, amino acids and fatty acids.
Nutrients like sugar amino acids and fatty acids are absorbed into the lining of the?
small intesine
What is the end product of fat digestion called?
Simple sugar, amino acid, fatty acids, or fatty acids and glycerol
What are three forms of energy involved in a muscle contraction?
Muscle contraction is caused by three forms of energy. This includes sugar such as glucose, vitamins like calcium, and fatty acids.
Is a sugar a nucleic acid?
No, although there is a sugar (pentose) in nucleic acids.
Do lipids have simple sugar sub units?
Remember there are many different kinds of lipids (fatty acids, soaps, waxes, phospholipids, etc) but as far as the dietary fatty acids, the answer is No. Triglycerides (dietary fat) are composed of 3 fatty acid chains bound to glycerol. Fatty acids are carbon chains and glycerol is 3 carbons each with an OH alcohol. An ester bond attaches each fatty acid to glycerol. As far as energy metabolism, it can be seen that carbon and oxygen are the main substituents of energy. Even "simple sugar sub-units" are carbon rings, and during glycolysis these carbon rings are opened and broken apart to be used in the TCA cycle and other ways for energy production.
Nitrogenous wastes is it creatinine or fatty acid or lipid or carbon dioxide or sugar?
Nitrogenous wastes are waste substances which contain nitrogen. Generally these are produced in the liver by the breakdown of unwanted amino acids. Most of the waste (in mammals) is in the form of urea, but smaller amounts of other substances, such as creatinine, are also produced. Carbon dioxide only contains carbon and oxygen. Sugar and fatty acids only contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Some lipids (phospholipids) may contain small amounts of nitrogen.
Does nucleic acid contain lactose and potassium?
no. nucleic acids have a ribose as its sugar. A ribose is a five carbon sugar. Lactose is a 6 carbon sugar and from this, we can say that it is not a ribose. Nucleic acids contain phosphorus but not potassium.
What is the function of carbohydrates in your diet?
Carbohydrates are either simple or comples Glucose is a simple sugar preferred by the body as an energy source. Complex carbohydrates, consisting of multiple sugar units, are digested to glucose. Although body cells can use fatty acids as an energy sourve, brain cells require glucose. For this reason alone, it is necessary to include carbohydrates in the diet because the body is unable to convert fatty acids to gucose.
Is sugar is a fat?
No. Sugar is a carbohydrate, and an important source of energy for the body. However, if you consume more sugar than your body can burn, the partially metabolized glucose (sugar) molecules reassemble into fatty acids. In other words, if you eat more sugar than your body needs, it will become fat.
