A lipid that cannot be hydrolyzed is called a wax. Waxes are esters of long-chain fatty acids with long-chain alcohols and are resistant to hydrolysis due to their structure. They are commonly found in plants and animals for protective purposes.

Is oil a monosaccharide?

A monosaccharide is a type of sugar that cannot be further hydrolyzed into a simpler form. An oil is not a monosaccharide because it has no sugar content.


What kind of carbohydrate cannot be hydrolyzed any further?

STARCH AND FIBER


Is insulin lipid?

No it is not a lipid. Insulin is made up of proteins. It cannot be injected orally.


Which of the molecules above cannot be hydrolyzed by the digestive system of most animals starch glycogen sucrose or cellulose?

Cellulose cannot be hydrolyzed by the digestive system of most animals because they lack the necessary enzyme, cellulase, to break down its β-glucosidic bonds. While starch and glycogen can be digested by animals due to their α-glucosidic bonds, sucrose can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme sucrase. Therefore, cellulose is the molecule that most animals cannot digest.


Which group of carbohydrates cannot be hydrolyzed to give smaller molecules?

Polysaccharides (such as starch and cellulose) are the group of carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed to give smaller molecules. They consist of long chains of monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic bonds that are not easily broken down by hydrolysis.


Which lipid will give a single molecule of fatty acid when hydrolyzed?

A triglyceride will give a single molecule of fatty acid when hydrolyzed through the process of lipolysis. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. Upon hydrolysis, one fatty acid is released along with glycerol.


A lipid that undergoes hydrolysis yields arachidonic acid and glycerol Was the lipid a fat or an oil?

The lipid was most likely a fat, as fats are made up of triglycerides containing three fatty acid chains and a glycerol molecule. When hydrolyzed, fats break down into fatty acids and glycerol. Oils, on the other hand, are usually liquid at room temperature and are also composed of triglycerides.

Is MSG a hydrolyzed protein?

No, monosodium glutamate (MSG) is not a hydrolyzed protein. MSG is the sodium salt of glutamic acid, an amino acid, and is used as a flavor enhancer. Hydrolyzed proteins are created by breaking down proteins into smaller peptides and amino acids through a process called hydrolysis. While MSG can be derived from protein sources, it is a distinct compound and not a hydrolyzed protein itself.


What is the difference between collagen peptides and hydrolyzed collagen?

Collagen peptides are smaller molecules of collagen that are easily absorbed by the body, while hydrolyzed collagen is collagen that has been broken down into smaller pieces through a process called hydrolysis. This makes hydrolyzed collagen easier for the body to digest and use.
