∙ 13y agoFats are formed when fatty acids bond with glycerol through a process called esterification. This forms a molecule known as a triglyceride, which is the main component of fats found in our body and in food.
Fats and oils are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol serves as the backbone for triglycerides, which form the main structure of fats and oils, while fatty acids are the long hydrocarbon chains attached to the glycerol molecules.
Glycerol is an alcohol that can react with fatty acids through a process called esterification to form fats or triglycerides. This reaction forms ester bonds between the glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains, resulting in the creation of a fat molecule.
when are atoms are more stable existed at a lower energy state in a combined form
Oxygen and chlorine are each elements, not compounds. They combined to form a number of covalent compounds because they are both nonmetals.
lipids are made up of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol
Fats are composed of molecules called triglycerides, which are made up of glycerol and three fatty acids. The fatty acids are chains of carbon atoms bonded together with hydrogen atoms attached. The types of fatty acids present in a fat molecule determine its characteristics.
Its neither a vitamin or a mineral. Glycerol is normally chemically combined with fatty acids to form fats. The body either uses it to make more fats or metabolizes it for energy.
The two monomers for fats are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol, and fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group at one end. When they combine through a condensation reaction, they form triglycerides, the primary form of fats in our bodies.
Fats and oils are composed of glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol serves as the backbone for triglycerides, which form the main structure of fats and oils, while fatty acids are the long hydrocarbon chains attached to the glycerol molecules.
Glycerol is present in all fats as it is a backbone molecule of triglycerides, the primary form of fat in our bodies. Triglycerides consist of three fatty acids connected to a glycerol molecule. Detection of glycerol can therefore serve as an indicator for the presence of fats.
they form compounds
Carbohydrates are organic compounds made from sugars.Proteins are organic compounds made from amino acids.Fats are organic compounds of the class known as esters and made form the alcohol glycerol and three fatty acid chains.
No. Amino acid molecules join together via peptide bonds to form peptides and proteins, not fats. Fats generally form from long chain fatty acids and glycerol.
Glycerol is an alcohol that can react with fatty acids through a process called esterification to form fats or triglycerides. This reaction forms ester bonds between the glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains, resulting in the creation of a fat molecule.
Compounds
No. Elements are not made of compounds. Elements may be combined to form compounds.
Pancreatic ;ipase helps in the digestion of fats to fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are emulsified by the bile produced by the liver producing fat globules. The fat globules are further digested by lipase to form fatty acids and glycerol. Fats are digested at the small intestine.
