Are a kind of lipid that consists of two fatty acids and phosphate group?
A phospholipid consists of two fatty acids and a phosphate group bonded to a glycerol molecule.
Why do potassium salts of fatty acids yield soft soap?
Potassium salts of fatty acids should yield soft soaps because they are more soluble in water than sodium salts of fatty acids (which yield hard soaps). They contain more water, so they are softer.
What is nitrogen a key element for the formation of?
Amino Acids
What are the unbranched chains that make up most lipids?
fatty acids
What compounds form fat?
According to scientists, fats are compounds because they include a combination of fatty acids and glycerol. Another term referring to fats is lipids.
How are amino acids different from fatty acids?
Short Answer is: fatty acids lack Nitrogen atoms. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They have the functional groups carboxyl (COOH) and amine (H2N). Fatty acids or LIPIDS - [fats from animals, oils from plants] - are the building blocks of triglycerides. They are made of of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and DO NOT contain nitrogen. They have the functional groups carbonyl (HCO) and carboxyl (COOH).
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.
Why is beef fat a solid at room temperature?
This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.
What is contains carbon?
Carbon containing acids are weak acids and fatty acids for example some fatty acids are in meat
