In the triglycerides molecules shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecule?
FATTY ACIDS APEX
In the triglyceride molecule shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecule A.Nucleic acids?
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.
In the triglyceride molecule what are three molecules attached to the glycerol molecule?
Fatty acids (apex)
Fats are composed of three fatty acid molecules joined to a molecule of?
glycerol
How many dehydration synthesis reactions are required to attach fatty acid tails to a glycerol and build a triglyceride?
It can be done all in one synthesis. However, there are 3 OHs on glycerol and thus 3 fatty acids required in total to build the triglyceride. There are thus 3 reactions in total that take place but all in one synthesis. This is similar to 3 molecules of NaOH reacting with one molecule of phosphoric acid.
What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.

What molecules are attached to the glycerol molecule?
fatty acids
In the triglyceride molecule shown below what are the three molecules attached to the glycerol molecule A.Nucleic acids?
The three molecules attached to glycerol backbone are long chain fatty acids.
Triglycerides are molecules consisting of one 3-carbon compound called?
A glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
What kind of molecule can not be degested?
mainly fat molecules and glycerol
What are the 3 molecules attached to the glycerol molecule?
fatty acids
Glycerol is a subnuit molecule of a?
Glycerol is a subunit molecule of a lipid. It is a three carbon alcohol that forms the backbone of most lipid molecules in the body.
What to molecule types are needed to form a molecule of fat?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
Which molecule may be formed by dehydration synthesis of fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules?
Dehydration synthesis is a generalized form for a condensation reaction. During a condensation reaction, glycerol and 3 fatty acid tails come together to form a triglyceride.
How many water molecules will be removed to form a fat composed of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol molecule?
Three water molecules will be removed to form a triglyceride composed of three fatty acid chains and one glycerol molecule. One molecule of water is removed for each bond between a fatty acid and the glycerol molecule, for a total of three water molecules removed.
What are subunits of fats?
Subunits of fats are glycerol and fatty acids. Each fat molecule comprises of 1 molecule of glycerol and 3 molecules of fatty acids.
