What are the four main organic compounds and their subunits?
The four main organic compounds are carbohydrates (subunit: monosaccharides), lipids (subunit: fatty acids and glycerol), proteins (subunit: amino acids), and nucleic acids (subunit: nucleotides).
Which category of organic chemical is made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with ling aliphatic chain.
Is triglyceride a organic or inorganic compound?
Triglycerides are organic compounds, specifically esters of glycerin with organic acids.
What are the main homologous series for organic compounds?
All the families of organic compounds exist as a homologous series (A series having a difference of 'CH2' unit between two consecutive members) the main homologous series-es are Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols and Carboxylic acids (Fatty acids).
Which organic molecule is related to lipids?
fatty acids are most closely related to lipids
Is there carbon in fatty acids?
Of course, fatty acids are organic compounds and they can not exist without carbon.
Is carbon in fatty acids?
Of course, fatty acids are organic compounds and they can not exist without carbon.
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 are the four main organic compounds and their subunits?
The four main organic compounds are carbohydrates (subunit: monosaccharides), lipids (subunit: fatty acids and glycerol), proteins (subunit: amino acids), and nucleic acids (subunit: nucleotides).
Chemical that contain carbon and hydrogen are called?
Hydrocarbons
Are waxes organic acids?
Waxes are esters formed by condensing organic fatty acids and long-chain (fatty) alcohols. So they contain organic acids, but are not acids themselves.
What type of biological compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids are found in the compounds of lipids. The fatty acid lipid compounds can be found in both plants and animals.
Nonsulfur photosynthetic bacteria use organic compound as?
CARBON SOURCES.... nonsulfur (purple & green) bacteria are photoheterotrophs, so they use organic compounds, such as alcohols, fatty acids, other organic acids and carbs, as sources of carbon. If using Tortora, Funke & Case Microbiology text, then you can read this in Chapter 5!
What are chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl at one end?
These are called fatty acids. They are organic molecules made up of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end. Fatty acids are essential components of lipids and can vary in length and saturation.
Which category of organic chemical is made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with ling aliphatic chain.
What are organic acids that aid in the transportation and breakdown of cholesterol.?
Fatty acids
What is the difference between lipids and starches?
Lipids are organic compounds which are fatty acids and insoluble in water. Starches, meanwhile, are carbohydrates which are tasteless and odorless.
