What are fatty acids phospholipids and steroids synthesized primarily on?
golgi complex
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Lipids are the group of organic compounds that contain fatty acids. Lipids include fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids, and they play important roles in energy storage, cell structure, and signaling in living organisms.
What is a comparison of the structure of triglycerides phospholipids and steroids?
Triglycerides are composed of three molecules of the alcohol glycerol. Phospholipids have two, rather than three, fatty acids attached to the molecule of glycerol. Steroids are composed of four fused carbon rings with various functional groups attached to them.
Which type of lipid does NOT contain fatty acids as one of the component parts?
Lipid is a heterogeneous group of compound which are soluble in organic solvents but in soluble in water. Important groups of lipids are fats , oils, triacyl glycerol; phospholipids, waxes and terpenes including steroids and carotenoids.This last group ie carotenoids and steroids is the lipid that are not made up of fatty acid but they are composed of isoprenoid units, their examples are cholestrole and red pigment carotin of carrots.
Fatty acids are the basic unit of what macromolecule?
Fatty acids are the basic unit of lipids, which are a type of macromolecule that serves as an important energy source and structural component in cells. Lipids also include compounds like triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
What are lipids make of?
Lipids are composed of monomers called Glycerol and Fatty Acids. The four classes of lipids are triglycerides, waxes, phospholipids, and steroids.
Class of lipids which includes cholesterol and sex hormones?
steroids... The steroids are a group of lipids with no fatty acids. This group includes cholesterol, Bile Salts, and steroid hormones (which includes sex hormones).
How many types of fatty acids are found in human body?
There are two main types of fatty acids found in the human body: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids can be further classified into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
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.
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
Hydrogenated fatty acids.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
