No, lipid is a type of macromolecule. Lipid is a large and diverse group that includes the molecule glycerol. Glycerol is an organic compound that is part of triglyceride, which is part of lipid.

What two molecules combine to form lipids?

Lipids are formed by combining one molecule of glycerol with three fatty acid molecules through dehydration synthesis. This process results in the formation of a lipid molecule called a triglyceride.


What is the monmer of lipids?

Triglycerides are composed of one glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acids.


Are glycerol and protein in the same organic group?

While both are organic molecules, glycerol has everything to do with lipids and proteins are in their 'own league'.

Are lipids composed of fatty acids and glycerol?

Yes, lipids are composed of fatty acids and glycerol. Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains that make up the structure of lipids, while glycerol is a three-carbon molecule that serves as the backbone for forming lipid molecules such as triglycerides.


What is a monomer for lipids?

The monomer for a lipid would be 3 fatty acids and a glycerol molecule.


What type of molecules are made when lipase catalyses the breakdown of fats?

Catalyses the breakdown of lipids (fat molecules) into fatty acid and glycerol molecules


Are lipids composed of the sub-units glycerols and fatty acids?

Yes, lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol molecules combine with fatty acids through ester linkages to form molecules like triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols.


What molecules are the building blocks of fats?

All lipids (fats, oils and waxes) contain fatty acids attached to glycerol.


What does the hydrolysis of lipid molecules yield?

Hydrolysis of lipid molecules yields fatty acids and glycerol. This process breaks down lipids into their individual components, which can then be used by the body for energy production or to build new molecules.
