What are the monomers of a triglyceride (fat) molecule? Make simple drawings (cartoon like, not chemical) of a saturated triglyceride vs. unsaturated triglyceride. Compare and contrast unsaturated and saturated fats in terms of structure and where they canbe found.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A triglyceride is made by two  kind of monomers, one glycerol molecule that is the backbone, and it is attached to three fatty acids, that are called the "tails"

Explanation:

To check the drawing observe the attachment.

There are some differences among saturated fats and unsaturated fats, for example, the first ones, are always occupied by some hydrogen atoms, in the unsaturated fats, there could be some double bonds among one carbon atom and another.

In food like meat, dairy products and butter the saturated fats are localized. In food like vegetable oils, like corn, coconut or olive, we can find unsaturated fats.
