What else can I help you with?
Do all fatty acids can be synthesized in the body?
Except for a few billion molecules used to "insulate" nerve cells, they just make you fat.
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.
All food fat is composed of glycerol and?
fatty acids
What 3 elements are present in all fatty acids?
Three elements present in all fatty acids are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Do animals including humans synthesize all amino acid?
No. In humans there are nine essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body, and which humans must get in their diet. They are phenylalanine, valine, threonine, tryptophan, methionine, leucine, isoleucine, lysine, and histadine. Other animals may have a different set of essential amino acids. Refer to the Wikipedia article referenced below for more information.Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_amino_acid
What makes the essential amino acids different from the non-essential amino acids?
Essential amino acids are those the body cannot produce. There are 20 basic amino acids. There are eight essential amino acids unless the individual is a phenylketonuric. There are nine essential amino acids for phenylketonurics as they cannot convert phenylalanine to tyrosine. Essential amino acids have to be taken into the body by eating.

What do blood capillaries absorb?
Capillaries in Villi absorb all other nutrients except fat.
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.
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 type of molecule serves the following functions in the body maintaining brain health controlling inflammation and building fat molecules?
Fatty Acids carry-out all of these tasks in the body.
