What What are made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
Property of dietary lipids?
One property of dietary lipids is that Omega-3 fatty acids are always unsaturated. Acetic acid is the simplest form of fatty acid.
Do glycerol and fatty acids have an amino group?
no amino acid is not a fatty acid this is because of the following reasons 1- due to the difference of functional group i.e Amino acid has two functional groups one is amino group (-NH2) and other is carboxylic group (-COOH) while in fatty acid (-RCOOH) only carboxylic group are present. 2-Amino acid is the sub-unit of protein while Fatty acid is the sub-unit of lipids(FATS).
What are fats called at room temperature when they are solid?
the presence of double boned carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains and the degree of packing of fatty acid chains.
What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
Such compounds are Fatty acids (long chain monocarboxylic acids)
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..
Which part of the cell membrane non-polar and prevents the cell from dissolving?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains are nonpolar and prevent the cell from dissolving.

What macromolecule contains glycerol?
Ur Welcome ;)Lipids are composed of three fatty acid chains linked to a glycerol backbone
What is it when a lipids fatty acid contain more than one double bond?
That would be called polyunsaturated.
What Acid molecules are long chains of carbon atom found in lipids?
They are fatty acids; they are attached to a glycerol molecule to form a lipid.
Which part of the cell membrane prevent organisms from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
What type of biological compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids are found in the compounds of lipids. The fatty acid lipid compounds can be found in both plants and animals.
Most lipids are made of what acid?
fatty
Do lipids have a nitrogen base?
No. Lipids are composed of a "backbone" of glycerol and three carboxylic acid groups of varying length. Both glycerol and carboxylic acids contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
What is a fatty acid.?
A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid (an acid with a -COOH group) with long hydrocarbon side chains.
What is an organic acid that is contained in lipids such as fats and oils?
fatty acid
