A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed a?
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed monounsaturated, medium chain fatty acid. The process of adding hydrogen too an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called hydrogenation.
Kind of molecule made up of a chain of carbons to which hydrogyens are bonded and having a carboxyl group at one end?
This kind of molecule is called a fatty acid. Fatty acids are comprised of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end, which makes them amphiphilic molecules important for cellular structure and energy storage.
Why is oleic acid not classified as a saturated fatty acid?
Oleic acid has one double bond in its carbon chain, making it a monounsaturated fatty acid. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in their carbon chain, which is why oleic acid is not classified as saturated.
In the triglycerides molecules shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecules?
FATTY ACIDS APEX
Suggest a reason that linoleic acid is classified as a polyunsaturated fatty acid and oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated fatty acid?
Linoleic acid has more than one double bond in its carbon chain, making it polyunsaturated. Oleic acid has only one double bond, making it monounsaturated. The number of double bonds determines the classification of the fatty acid.
How many acetyl CoA molecules may be obtained from oxidation of a 16-carbon fatty acid?
A fatty acid that contains 20 carbons will yield 10 molecules of acetyl-CoA. Acetyl-CoA is also referred to as acetyl coenzyme A.
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed a?
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed monounsaturated, medium chain fatty acid. The process of adding hydrogen too an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called hydrogenation.
How many carbons might a long-chain fatty acid have?
18
How many carbons are contained in a medium-chain fatty acid?
18
How do fatty acid molecules differ from amino acid molecule?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
What is a fatty acid in which all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds?
phenotype
What is the total number of carbons in one fatty acid?
Natural fatty acids contain 10 and onwards even no of carbon atoms.
An essential omega 3 fatty acid with 18 carbons and 3 double bonds is called?
alpha-linoleic acid.
How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form a fat molecules?
3 fatty acids!
A fatty acid tail that contains all single bonds between carbons?
Saturated fat
Kind of molecule made up of a chain of carbons to which hydrogyens are bonded and having a carboxyl group at one end?
This kind of molecule is called a fatty acid. Fatty acids are comprised of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end, which makes them amphiphilic molecules important for cellular structure and energy storage.
What is the term for polyunsaturated fatty acid in which the endmost double bond is three carbons back from the end of the carbon chain?
The term for this type of polyunsaturated fatty acid is omega-3 fatty acid. Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential nutrients because our bodies cannot produce them, so they must be obtained through diet. They are known for their potential health benefits, including reducing inflammation and supporting heart health.
