Triglycerides are classified by what?
The shape, length, and saturation of the fatty acids are ways that triglycerides are classified. Triglycerides are classified as a fat.
Fatty acids and glycerol are found in?
Triglycerides
Fats are classified as free fatty acids triglycerides phospholipids and?
Lipids. Few examples are: free fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol.
What is the chemical reaction for dehydration of fatty acids?
Triglycerides are formed by the dehydration reaction of fatty acids and glycerol.
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.

Fatty acids and glycerol are found in?
Triglycerides
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
Fats are classified as free fatty acids triglycerides phospholipids and?
Lipids. Few examples are: free fatty acids, triglycerides, phospholipids and cholesterol.
Which macromolecule are often made of three fatty acids bound to a glycerol molecule?
triglycerides
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.
What is the chemical reaction for dehydration of fatty acids?
Triglycerides are formed by the dehydration reaction of fatty acids and glycerol.
What are medium-chain triglycerides?
Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a special class of fatty acids. Normal fats and oils contain long-chain fatty acids (LCTs). Compared to these fatty acids, MCTs are much shorter in length.
What is the Subunit of triglycerides?
fatty acids and phospholipids
