The tri consisits of 3 fatty acid bound to a glycerol with an ester (covalent) linkage to a single saturated fat where as a phos-lip is the same apart from 1 fatty acid being replaced by a phophate group
Maybe if u think aboit it u can work tri cannot form a lipid bilayer where as the phospholipids can it must be the phos group must be hydrophilic in the bilayer making the polar heads so with out it the tri cannot form the bilayer consisting of polar heads facing the water and the non polar hydrophilic tails facing the inside
by boisynthesis process
A balanced equation for the preparation of soap from triacylglycerol is (C18H29O2)3-C3H5O3 + 3KOH -> 3C18H29O2K + HOCH2CH(OH)CH2OH. The acyl portions are all derived from linolenic acid and use potassium hydroxide as the base.
The oil is the triacylglycerol.
Adipose tissue triacylglycerol
A glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
sorry!
No it is in fact not a phospholipid just a lipid. A phospholipid needs a phosphate group and cholesterols molecular formula is C-27 H-46 O and with no Phosphate it can not be a phospholipid.
Lipid monomers have 2 parts- two or three fatty acids bond to one glycerol
A phospholipid bi-layer.
The head and tail is a phospholipid molecule
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
No... It is a lipid because it is a hormone and hormones are lipids, but it is not a phospholipid.
