What are the 2 monomers for fats?
The two monomers for fats are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol, and fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group at one end. When they combine through a condensation reaction, they form triglycerides, the primary form of fats in our bodies.
Fats are composed of three fatty acid molecules joined to a molecule of?
glycerol through ester linkages.
What breaks fats into fatty acids and glycerol?
Digestive enzymes, such as lipases, break down fats in the digestive system into fatty acids and glycerol. Lipases are produced mainly in the pancreas and help to digest dietary fats for absorption in the intestines.
Neutral fats have a ratio of fatty acids to glycerol?
cholesterol is has 4 rings i dunno if that helps
How is glycerol formed?
There are two basic ways glycerol forms. The first is natural, by the combinaation of fats and oils. The second is by sythesizing it, by a cehmical process that begins by chlorinating propylene, which gives allyl chloride, which is oxidized with hypochlorite to dichlorohydrins, which reacts with a strong base to give epichlorohydrin. Epichlorohydrin is then hydrolyzed to give glycerol.
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.
Fats are made of an alcohol called what?
Fats are made of an alcohol called glycerol.
What do saturated fats and unsaturated fats have in common?
glycerol
Glycerol is produced from the breakdown of what?
Glycerol is produced from the breakdown of fats and oils through a process called hydrolysis. Lipases, enzymes that break down fats, catalyze the conversion of triglycerides into glycerol and fatty acids.
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 structural feature of glycerol is important in the formation of fats?
The three hydroxyl (OH) groups in glycerol allow it to form ester linkages with fatty acids, leading to the formation of fats through dehydration synthesis. This ensures that fats have a glycerol backbone with fatty acid chains attached to it.
What does lipase digest fats into?
glycerol and fatty acids :P
Fats are made of an alcohol called?
glycerol
What are the three fats tied to a glycerol?
triglyceride
