What process is used to combine the fatty acids and glycerol?

The process used to combine fatty acids and glycerol is called esterification. During esterification, a chemical reaction forms ester bonds between the fatty acids and glycerol molecules, resulting in the formation of triglycerides.


What What are made up of fatty acids?

Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.


Why are cis fatty acids rearranged to trans fatty acids in the process of partial hydrogenation?

During partial hydrogenation, cis fatty acids are rearranged to trans fatty acids because of the difference in the spatial orientation of hydrogen atoms on the carbon chain. The catalyst used in the process favors the alignment of hydrogen atoms on opposite sides of the carbon chain, leading to the formation of trans double bonds. This process changes the structure of the fatty acids from a cis to a trans configuration.


What is the Function of fatty acids?

Fatty acids are used to make lipids in a cell. They also attach to a phosphate group to form phospholipids, the phosphate head being hydrophilic and the two fatty acid tails being hydrophobic, that are used to form the lipid bilayer in the cell membrane.
