because plants are not produced with mass made gasses like Methane and co2
the ommit co2 therefore having no acids
thats half of the reason we have to let plant grow so they reach
theyre full potential

What is the difference between fatty acids and polysacchardies?
poly sacchardies have more calories than fatty acids poly sacchardies have more calories than fatty acids
Define fatty acid?
In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides orphospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as "free" fatty acids.
Formula for fat?
Depends which fat, there are many different compounds that are considered fatty acids. All contain an even number of carbons and a carboxyllic acid terminus. There are also 3 categories for these fats, saturated fatty acids, MUFAs (mono-unsaturated fatty acids), and PUFAs (poly-unsaturated fatty acids). A small 16-chain fatty acid which is completely saturated would look like this: CH3(CH2)14COOH Or C16H32O2
What is the chemical composition of fats?
Fatty acids and glycerol
What does the hydrolysis of a neutral fat result in?
glycerol and three fatty acids
Glycerol and fatty acids are found in what type molecule?
Unreacted fatty acids are rare in nature, but most fats and oils are triglycerides of fatty acids, and the acids can be recovered by hydrolyzing the triglycerides. This process is sometimes called "saponification" when the hydrolysis is aided by strong alkali, as in that instance the primary products (aside from glycerin) are salts of fatty acids, which are often good soaps.
What is the difference between a saturated and ' unsaturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms. The carbon in the chain is saturated with all the hydrogens it can hold. Saturated fatty acids account for the solid nature at room temperature of fats such as lard and butter. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbon atoms wherever the number of hydrogens is less than two per carbon atom. Unsaturated fatty acids account for the liquid nature of vegetable oils at room temperature.
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.
