No. Glycerol is merely a three Carbon chain with an -OH (alcohol) group on each of these three Carbons = HO-CH2-OH-CH-CH2-OH. The opportunities for "expansion" of this molecule are at least extensive.

No, glycerol is not a protein. Glycerol is a simple organic compound that is a component of lipids, such as triglycerides, and acts as a backbone for fatty acids in these molecules. Proteins are complex molecules made up of amino acids.

What the function of edta during protein extraction?
glycerol increases the stabilization of the protein by decreasing the surface tension of water
What kind of macromolecule is glycerol?
Glycerol is a small organic molecule that belongs to the family of alcohols. It is not a macromolecule but rather a component of lipids, such as triglycerides, where it acts as a backbone for fatty acids to attach to.
Which is NOT a smaller subunit of a nucleotide?
Glycerol is not a subunit of nucleotides. Glycerol is a subunit of triglycerides and phospholipids (types of lipids).
Is glucose bigger than a protein?
No, glucose is a sugar. And a carbohydrate. Google sugar.
A triglyceride is made up of three fatty acids and one molecule of?
glycerol. Glycerol serves as the backbone to which the three fatty acids are attached in a triglyceride molecule.
What is the metabolic function of protein?
amino acid and glycerol
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'.
What the function of edta during protein extraction?
glycerol increases the stabilization of the protein by decreasing the surface tension of water
What is the role of glycerol in the lysis buffer?
To protect protein during thawing and freezing
Are starch protein DNA glycerol and chitin all macromolcules?
No , all are not macro molecules .
What kind of macromolecule is glycerol?
Glycerol is a small organic molecule that belongs to the family of alcohols. It is not a macromolecule but rather a component of lipids, such as triglycerides, where it acts as a backbone for fatty acids to attach to.
What is the end product of fat and oil?
The end products of fat digestion are fatty acids and glycerol.
What makes protein lipid and carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are made of monosaccharides, lipids are made of glycerol and fatty acids, and proteins are made of amino acids.
What color is glycerol?
Glycerol is a transparent, colorless liquid.
Is glycerol singular or plural?
Glycerol is singular. The noun glycerol is an uncountable (mass) noun, a word for a substance.
What are the two types of reactions convert glycerol to dihydroxyacetone phosphate?
The two types of reactions that convert glycerol to dihydroxyacetone phosphate are glycerol kinase and glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. Glycerol kinase phosphorylates glycerol to form glycerol-3-phosphate, which is then oxidized by glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase to produce dihydroxyacetone phosphate.
Write balanced equations for the transfer hydrogenation of pure glycerol trioleate with cyclohexene and with ammonium formate as the hydrogen sources?
Transfer hydrogenation of glycerol trioleate with cyclohexene: Glycerol trioleate + Cyclohexene + H2 -> Glycerol + Triolein + Cyclohexane Transfer hydrogenation of glycerol trioleate with ammonium formate: Glycerol trioleate + Ammonium formate -> Glycerol + Triolein + Formic acid
