The pH of fatty acids is between 7-14 because it is a base.

Most alkyl acids with measurable pH are roughly 4.8. But once their chains become long enough, they are no longer water soluble, and thus pH/pKa are not meaningful. So most fatty acids don't really have a measurable pH.

What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
How do you separate amino acids from fatty acids?
Amino acids are soluble in water and fatty acids are not.
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
Where does synthesis of fatty acids occur?
The synthesis of the fatty acids occurs in the cytosol.
Why pH is low in fatty acids?
Because they're acids.
Fats are digested to fatty acids and glycerol. What will the solution become what type of pH?
the fatty acids of triglyceride cause the acidic condition.Thus this situation will indicate the fat digested has occurred.
Why different skin areas may have different ph levels-?
Skin has different pH levels in different areas because of varying levels of lactic acid, amino acids, fatty acids, and metabolites.
What is the most common building blocks of lipids?
Fatty acids and glycerol
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
What are the two essential fatty acids are?
Mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
What is sterified fatty acids?
Fatty acids can be sterified to a glycerol molecule.
Is fatty acids a disaccharide?
No. Fatty acids are lipids. Disaccharides are carbohydrates.
