Answer:
1. Glycerol
2. Fatty acids
3. Monoglycerides
4. Triglycerides
5. Hydrocarbon
6. Hydrophobic
Explanation:
1. Glycerol
Fat consist of a molecule called glycerol that is attached to one, two, or three fatty acids. Glycerol is the basis of all fats and consists of a three-carbon chain that is attached to the fatty acids.
2. Fatty acids
Fats is made up of three fatty acids and a glycerol, it can also be called triacylglycerols or triglycerides.
3. Monoglyceride
It is a glycerol molecule with a singular fatty acid. It is formed through the combination of OH of glycerol to the OH of the fatty acid.
4. Triglycerides
It has three fatty acid molecules. It is a tri-esters made up of a glycerol attached to three fatty acid molecules.
5. Hydrocarbon
Fatty acids is made up of long, unbranched hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group found at one end.
6. Hydrophobic
The hydrophobic nature of fat arises from the carbon-hydrogen bonds that are nonpolar.
Answer:
1. One molecule of glycerol
2. A fatty acid
3. Monoglyceride
4. Triglyceride
5. Long Hydrocarbon chain
6. Hydrophobic
Explanation:
1. A fat molecule is composed of two types of smaller molecules, including only one molecule of glycerol. 2. A fatty acid fat molecule also includes one, two, or three molecules. 3. A fat molecule with only one fatty acid is called a monoglyceride. 4. A fat molecule with three fatty acids is called a triacylglycerol, or a triglyceride 5. A fatty acid includes a carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end as well as a long hydrocarbon chain 6. The hydrocarbon chains found in fats store a lot of energy. They also make fats hydrophobic, or insoluble in water.
