∙ 9y agoNo, only fatty acids do contain a carboxyl group -C(=O)(-OH) (they are alternatively called: carboxylic acids). Glycerol contains three hydroxylic groups -C(-OH), propane-1,2,3-triol

How do fatty acids differ from one another?
different enzymes break each different chain down
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
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).
Does a carboxyl group contain nitrogen?
No. A carboxyl group is made up off carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
What functional group is responsible for the acidic properties of fatty acids?
carboxyl group (cooh)
Do fatty and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids do contain a carboxyl group -C(=O)(-OH) (they are alternatively called: carboxylic acids). Glycerol contains three hydroxylic groups -C(-OH), propane-1,2,3-triol

What is ester bond?
Ester bond is formed when the carboxyl group of fatty acid combine with the hydroxyl group of glycerol.
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
carboxyl group
Do fatty acids and glycerol both contain an amino group?
No - neither of them do.
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
The end of the fatty acid that does not attach to glycerol has what functional group?
I have to admit that I am bewildered by this question. It was on my review packet for pre-ap biology.
How are fat molecules formed?
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.
A simple fat molecule is composed of what which is a simple sugar and 3 what which are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl group at one end?
glycerol, fatty acids
What 3 fatty acids bind with glycerol to make triglyceride?
Glycerol has 3 OH groups and a fatty acid has one carboxyl group. One mole of Glycerol reacts with 3 moles of fatty acid to give 3 moles of water and one of the glycerine tri-ester - more commonly called a triglceride.
What function group do all fatty acids have in common?
The carboxyl group
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).
