Each fat molecule is made up of glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol, and fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbons with a carboxyl group at one end.

What fat molecule has the most H atoms?
The fat molecule that has the most H, or hydrogen, atoms is the saturated fat molecule. This is because this particular molecule has no double bonds in its structure.
What individual molecule do you get when an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule?
When an enzyme breaks down a fat molecule, it typically converts it into glycerol and fatty acids.
How many carbon building blocks in the bodies system of fat?
The building blocks of fats in the body are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Each fat molecule can contain varying numbers of carbon atoms, typically ranging from 4 to 24 carbons per fatty acid chain.
What is each fat or oil made of?
It is made up of glycerol(alcohol) and fatty acid(carboxylic acid)
What are the sub units for a fat molecule?
Amino Acids
What are fat made up of?
Fats are made up of glycerol and fatty acids. Each fat molecule has one molecule and three molecules of fatty acids. Fats can be unsaturated or saturated.
What is a fat molecule made of?
A fat molecule is made of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. The fatty acids provide energy storage and insulation, while glycerol serves as a backbone for the fatty acids to attach to.
What is a fat molecule is made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
What specific molecule is noodles made of?
Saturated fat
What are two parts of a fat molecule?
If you mean triglycerides which is the fat most people talk about then its glycerol and fatty acids.
What molecule makes up a fat?
a large fat molecule is made up of 2 things. these are called glycerol and fatty acids
What specific molecule is in spinach?
saturated fat
What is a large fat molecule made up of?
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.
How many hydrogen atoms are there in a fat molecule?
It depends on the specific type of fat molecule. On average, a typical fat molecule contains about 3 to 4 hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom. This means that a fat molecule can have several dozen hydrogen atoms.
How are fat molecules turned into fatty acids?
Fat Molecules can't be turned into fatty acids, because fatty acids are part of the elemental formula to create fat molecules. Three fat molecules and a glycerol molecule create a fat molecule. Remember each molecule isn't one thing, a molecule are two or more atoms connected in some way.
What smaller molecule make up a fat molecule?
The smaller molecules that make up a fat molecule are fatty acids and glycerol. Glycerol is an organic compound and fatty acids are made of chains of hydrocarbons.
Is fat an element or a compound?
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
