What molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?
Phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, are molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that are essential components of biological membranes. They have a hydrophilic head (containing the phosphate group) and hydrophobic tails (the fatty acid chains), allowing them to form the lipid bilayer structure of cell membranes.
What is the sodium salt of a long-chain fatty acid?
The sodium salt of a long-chain fatty acid is commonly known as a soap. It is formed when a fatty acid reacts with sodium hydroxide to produce a salt. Soaps are amphiphilic molecules that can interact with both water and oil, making them effective for cleaning purposes.
Does sucrose decompose into hydrogen and oxygen?
No. When heated in an anoxic environment or exposed to sulfuric acid, sucrose decomposes into carbon and water.
What happens when fatty acid reacts with NaOH?
what happen when fatti acid react with the NaOH
A saturated fatty has has more or less hydrogen?
Yes, fatty acids are considered saturated when they have all the hydrogen atoms it can hold.
What is an olestra molecule?
An olestra molecule contains a sucrose molecule with fatty acids esterified onto it. In other words, sucrose (or table sugar) is chemically changed so that 6, 7, or 8 fatty acid chains are linked to it. This gives the molecule fat-like properties, but it is unable to be digested.
Is olive oil an essential fatty acid?
No, it's not a fatty acid or essential fatty acid.
Is sucrose a acid?
No. It is a sugar.
What type of fatty acid is a propanoic acid?
Propionic acis is not a fatty acid.
Is sucrose an acid?
Sucrose is a disaccharide that is made from two simple sugars. Sucrose is made of glucose and fructose. It is not an acid.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
A synthetic fat made from sucrose?
Sucrose esters are a type of synthetic fat made from sucrose and fatty acids. They are often used as emulsifiers in food products to improve texture and stability. These compounds are produced by reacting sucrose with fatty acids under specific conditions.
What is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid?
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
What is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
A(n) fatty acid is the building block of fats?
fatty acid is the answer
What is the balanced equation for fatty acid and sodium hydroxide?
The balanced equation for the reaction between a fatty acid (such as oleic acid) and sodium hydroxide is: Fatty acid + Sodium hydroxide -> Soap (sodium salt of the fatty acid) + Water
Is oil a fatty acid?
it is a fatty
