Which organic compound is produced when three fatty acids bond to a glycerol molecule?
triglycerides
Since fats consist of three fatty acids and a glycerol, they are also called triacylglycerols or triglycerides. Triacylglycerols: Triacylglycerol is formed by the joining of three fatty acids to a glycerol backbone in a dehydration reaction. Three molecules of water are released in the process.
What is a glycerol with 3 fatty acids attached?
Three fatty acids attached to a glycerol form a triglyceride and yield water. In this example, all three fatty acids are stearic acid, but most often triglycerides contain mixtures of fatty acids (as shown in Figure 5-5).
Which organic compound is produced when 3 fatty acids?
Which organic compound is produced when three fatty acid molecules bond to one glycerol molecule? A lipid.
What is the bond between glycerol and a fatty acid?
In a fat molecule, the fatty acids are attached to each of the three carbons of the glycerol molecule with an ester bond through the oxygen atom. During the ester bond formation, three molecules are released. Since fats consist of three fatty acids and a glycerol, they are also called triacylglycerols or triglycerides.
Which molecule is glycerol?
A fat molecule consists of two kinds of parts: a glycerol backbone and three fatty acid tails. Glycerol is a small organic molecule with three hydroxyl (OH) groups, while a fatty acid consists of a long hydrocarbon chain attached to a carboxyl group.
What is the chemical formula of glycerol?
C3H8O3
Glycerol/Formula
Which is organic compound is produced when 3 fatty acid molecules bond to one glycerol?
Glycerol is an organic compound that is part of triglyceride, which is part of lipid. Which organic compound is produced when three fatty acid molecule bond to one glycerol molecule? triglycerides Which organic compound is produced when three fatty acid molecules bond to one glycerol molecules? a triglyceride
What makes up the smaller molecules of 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. Do lipids transform into glycerol molecules?
What do the functional groups of an organic compound do?
Functional groups help make organic compounds hydrophilic. b. All functional groups include a carbon atom of the organic compound’s skeleton. c. Functional groups help make organic compounds soluble in water. d. Functional groups participate in chemical reactions. e. Many biological molecules have two or more functional groups b.
How are monomers joined together by dehydration synthesis?
Monomers are joined together by the process of hydrolysis. Monosaccharides can be joined together by a process called dehydration synthesis. Which of the following statements is/are true of this process?
