What is a molecule that has a glycerol backbone two fatty acid chains and phosphate containing compound?
Fatty acids and glycerol may combine to form monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides (normal fats and oils). Addition of a phosphate group to a diglyceride will give a membrane lipid (phospholipid).
What is the size of a crude oil molecule?
"Oil molecule" isn't well defined, nor is "diameter" in this case. Please be more specific about what compound you're talking about. Knowing how you want the "diameter" to be measured is also important.Petroleum ("oil" in the pump-it-out-of-the-ground-and-turn-it-into-gasoline sense) is mostly C5 and above alkanes (up to, say, C40 or so). These can be either long straight chains or branched chains. The diameter of the chain at a non-branching point is a couple of Angstroms; from end to end the chain might be up to 30 Angstroms or so. Oils in the food sense are mostly shortish-chain saturated carboxylic acid triglycerides, or slightly longer-chain unsaturated carboxylic acid triglycerides. Again, the diameter of any of the carboxylic acid chains will be about two Angstroms, and from end to end ... 30 Angstroms isn't a completely unreasonable guess. In both cases, the chains are unlikely to be stretched out straight, but rather will be folded back on itself in some complicated way. It's difficult to predict the "diameter" of the folded chain (which almost certainly will not be a sphere), and it will constantly be changing anyway.
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.
Is iodine soluble in glycerol?
Yes, Iodine is soluble in glycerol. Although keep in my that Iodine is nonpolar because it has no dipole charges, but Glycerol is in fact polar. This is most likely explained by the polar and nonpolar tendencies of Glycerol.
Explain.Glycerol is more viscous than ethanol?
By definition, to overcome viscosity we need to apply enough kinetic energy to overcome the intermolecular forces of attraction of a substance. The harder it is to overcome this, the more viscous the substance is. And we all know that hydrogen bonds are the toughest intermolecular bonds to break. This being said if we look at the ethanol molecule it has one hydrogen bond to ether's none. Therefore, more kinetic energy would be required to overcome the attractions by that bond thus increasing the average kinetic energy needed by the substance to overcome or reduce its viscosity.
What is the size of a urea molecule in angstroms?
0.26 nm
Is any molecule or atom has the size 3.23 angstroms?
Carbon dioxide
In the triglyceride molecule shown below what molecule are the fatty acids attached to?
Glycerol
What 2 types of molecules are needed to form a fat molecule?
To form a molecule of fat, the two types of molecules that are needed are glycerol and fatty acid. One glycerol molecule attaching itself to three molecules of fatty acid will give one molecule of fat.
What molecule contains glycerol?
Glycerol (glycerin) exist in all triglycerides.
Glycerol is a subunit molecule of a what?
lipid
Glycerol is a subunit molecule of?
lipid
What is a glycerol a subunit molecule of?
Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides. In a triglyceride, three fatty acids bond to the three carbon atoms of the glycerol molecule.
What is the large molecule of fatty acids and glycerol?
Fatty acids are known as isomers. Glycerol are also isomers.
What is the range in size of atoms?
It is between 1 and 55 Angstroms.55 Angstroms equates to 5.5 nanometers.
What are the components of a lipids molecule?
One glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecule
A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule of?
glycerol(:
