How many fatty acids does a phospholipid have?

No, a phospholipid is a lipid with a phosphate attached. As regards Glycerine, it is a 3 carbon molecule with little else attached. However, Glycerine can and does make other bonds - it can bond with [up to] three items, such as fatty-acids to form tri-acyl glycerol. As pertains to the Question: tri-phospho-glycerate is a No Such.


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.


How many fatty acids are attached to glycerol molecule in a triacylglycerol?

Lipid monomers have 2 parts- two or three fatty acids bond to one glycerol


A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule of?

glycerol. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which the three fatty acids are attached in a triglyceride molecule.


What are three type of molecules that make up phospholipid molecule?

Phospholipid molecules are primarily composed of three types of molecules: glycerol, fatty acids, and phosphate groups. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which two fatty acid chains are attached, contributing to the hydrophobic (water-repelling) nature of the molecule. The phosphate group, which is hydrophilic (water-attracting), is linked to one end of the glycerol, creating an amphipathic structure that is essential for forming cellular membranes. This unique arrangement facilitates the formation of lipid bilayers in cell membranes.


What are the three molecules attached to glycerol molecules?

The three molecules attached to a glycerol molecule are fatty acids. These fatty acids form lipid molecules such as triglycerides, phospholipids, or waxes depending on the type and arrangement of the fatty acids bonded to the glycerol backbone.

What is backbone of phospholipid?

The backbone of a phospholipid is typically glycerol, a three-carbon molecule. In phospholipids, two of the glycerol's hydroxyl groups are esterified to fatty acid chains, while the third hydroxyl group is linked to a phosphate group, which may further be attached to various polar head groups. This structure allows phospholipids to form bilayers, essential for cell membranes, with hydrophobic tails facing inward and hydrophilic heads facing outward.


Glycerol and fatty acids corresponds with what?

Glycerol and fatty acids correspond with triglycerides, which are a type of lipid molecule. Triglycerides are made up of one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. They are an important source of energy storage in the body.


What is the Difference between Phospholipids and triglecrol?

There is one major difference regarding the structure of a phospholipid, and a triglyceride. The triglyceride is made of a glyceride molecule. Three lipids, called fatty acids, are bound to this molecule. Phospholipids also contain glyceride and fatty acids. However, instead of three fatty acids, they only have two. The third bound molecule is a phosphate.
