What are the monomers for fats and oils?
Fat is not a polymere, however most fats are threefold esters of glycerol (1,2,3-propanetriol) and three (different) long chain fatty acids.Example:stearine (or tristearin, or glyceryl tristearate) is made by esterfication (three times):C3H5(OH)3 + 3 C17H35COOH → C3H5(C18H35O2)3 + 3 H2O
What is the alcohol found in a triglyceride?
There is no alcohol in a triglyceride, but one is produced when it is hydrolysed. This alcohol is glycerol.
Why are fats esters?
Organic acids react with alcohols to form an ester and water. Fats are made up of 3 molecules of carboxylic acids (organic acid) and 1 molecule of glycerol (alcohol). So fats are esters.
What is glycerol found in?
Glycerol is found in all fats.
What molecules are the building blocks of fats?
All lipids (fats, oils and waxes) contain fatty acids attached to glycerol.
What do oils fats and waxes all contain?
They all contain glycerol.
What do saturated fats and unsaturated fats have in common?
glycerol
What structural feature of glycerol is important in the formation of fats?
Glycerol is a colorless and viscous liquid formed in soap manufacture. The glycerol backbone is essential in the formation of fats or lipids.
What Glycerol is produced from the breakdown?
Glycerol is produced from the breakdown of lipids which are fats or oils
What is the alcohol in fats?
Glycerol, a triol, is a component of dietary fats and oils.
What does lipase digest fats into?
glycerol and fatty acids :P
What are the three fats tied to a glycerol?
triglyceride
