What else can I help you with?
All food fat is composed of glycerol and?
fatty acids
How is each triglyceride different from the others?
it has different fatty acids
What is the difference between fat and fatty acids?
Fat is a broad term that refers to a type of nutrient that provides energy and helps with nutrient absorption. Fatty acids are specific components of fats that are essential for various bodily functions, such as cell structure and hormone production. In summary, fatty acids are a type of fat, but not all fats are fatty acids.
In what ways do saturated and unsaturated fatty acids differ?
Saturated fatty acids have all single bonds between carbon atoms, making them solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fatty acids have at least one double bond, making them liquid at room temperature.
What What are made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
What three elements make a fatty acid?
what elements are present in all fatty acids
What elements are in all fatty acids?
All three are important. Fatty acidsconsist of the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) arranged as a carbon chain skeleton.
Can all fatty acids be synthesized in the body?
No, not all fatty acids can be synthesized by the body. The body is not capable of synthesizing polyunsaturated or trans fatty acids.
All food fat is composed of glycerol and?
fatty acids
What is the acid present in soap?
The only acids that might be present in ordinary soap are unreacted fatty acids, but its just as likely to contain unreacted lye (which CAN actually burn the skin, fatty acids are harmless). If the soap was produced correctly there will be no unreacted components at all, it will be just a mixture of organo-metallic salts.Modern detergent "soaps" don't contain acids.
Are all enzymes made of fatty acids?
No, not all enzymes are made of fatty acids. Enzymes are primarily composed of proteins, which are made up of amino acids. Fatty acids are molecules that typically serve as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules in the body.
How is each triglyceride different from the others?
it has different fatty acids
What molecules are the building blocks of fats?
All lipids (fats, oils and waxes) contain fatty acids attached to glycerol.
What physical property is common to almost all unsaturated fatty acids?
The presence of one or more carbon-carbon double bonds is a physical property common to almost all unsaturated fatty acids. This double bond introduces a kink or bend in the fatty acid chain, altering its structure compared to saturated fatty acids.
What is the difference between fat and fatty acids?
Fat is a broad term that refers to a type of nutrient that provides energy and helps with nutrient absorption. Fatty acids are specific components of fats that are essential for various bodily functions, such as cell structure and hormone production. In summary, fatty acids are a type of fat, but not all fats are fatty acids.
How many carbon atoms do all fatty acids have?
They usually contain an even number of carbon atoms.
What function group do all fatty acids have in common?
The carboxyl group
