How does the structure of fatty acids compare to the basic units found in other macromolecules?
Fatty acids are composed of a hydrophilic carboxylic acid head and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail, while basic units in other macromolecules (such as amino acids in proteins, nucleotides in DNA/RNA, and monosaccharides in carbohydrates) have different functional groups and structures specific to their roles in each macromolecule. The differences in functional groups and structure give these basic units unique properties and functions within their respective macromolecules.
What subunits are used to make 4 macromolecules?
The subunit of carbohydrates is glucose.The subunit of nucleic acids is a nucleotide. The sub unit for protein is an amino acid. Lipid sub units are fatty acids and gylcerol.
What class of macromolecules does triglycerides belong to?
Lipids. Fats. An ester formed from one molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules that could be of varying types.
Which is a basic unit of a sugar molecule monosaccharide nucleotide amino acid fatty acid?
Monosaccharide
Which is a basic unit of a sugar molecule monosaccharide amino acid fatty acid nucleotide?
Monosaccharide

What are the molecular units of fat molecules?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
On a basic level how does fatty acid oxidation work?
Fatty acid oxidation is the process in which fatty acids are broken down by tissues to produce energy. Fatty acids are the residue left from fats being broken down.
What two units are found in triglycerides?
A fatty acid tail attached to a glycerol head.
What organic acid units make up fat?
Lipids make up fats.Lipids made up of glycerol and fatty acids.
What are the monomer units of trigylcerides?
Triglycerides have one glycerol head and three fatty acid tails.
