What else can I help you with?
How is each triglyceride different from the others?
it has different fatty acids
Glycerol and fatty acids are found in what type molecule?
Unreacted fatty acids are rare in nature, but most fats and oils are triglycerides of fatty acids, and the acids can be recovered by hydrolyzing the triglycerides. This process is sometimes called "saponification" when the hydrolysis is aided by strong alkali, as in that instance the primary products (aside from glycerin) are salts of fatty acids, which are often good soaps.
The two main types of triglycerides are what?
The two main types of triglycerides are saturated and unsaturated. Saturated triglycerides have no double bonds between the fatty acids, while unsaturated triglycerides have one or more double bonds.
What is the compound that forms the backbone of triglycerides?
The compound that forms the backbone of triglycerides is glycerol. Glycerol molecules are esterified with three fatty acids to form triglycerides through dehydration synthesis.
Why are triglycerides called a neutral fat?
Triglycerides are called neutral fats because they are composed of three fatty acids and glycerol. They are neutral because their fatty acids do not have any charged groups, making them hydrophobic and nonpolar. This nonpolar nature allows triglycerides to be stored as energy reserves in the body without interfering with cellular functions.
What are the building blocks of triglycerides?
Two building blocks of triglyceride; Glycerol & 3 fatty acids.
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
What is the Subunit of triglycerides?
The subunit of triglycerides is glycerol and fatty acids. Triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule bound to three fatty acid molecules.
What is the word equation for triglycerides?
The word equation for triglycerides is "triglyceride = glycerol + 3 fatty acids."
How is each triglyceride different from the others?
it has different fatty acids
Does triglycerides have a compound containing phosphorus?
No, triglycerides are composed of glycerol and three fatty acids. They do not contain phosphorus.
What are the products of triglycerides?
Glycerol and 3 fatty acids.
Triglycerides are a form of fatty acids stored in adipose tissue for energy?
Triglycerides are found in the adipose tissue and when broken down into the form of fatty acids it releases energy. Triglycerides not only stores fats but excess proteins and carbohydrates.
Amino acids is to proteins as?
Nucleotides are to Nucleic Acid or Fatty Acids are to Triglycerides
What is nonpolar component of triglycerides?
The fatty acids of a triglyceride are nonpolar.

Which macromolecule are often made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
triglycerides
