Which is NOT true about fatty acids? Select the correct answer below: In a triglyceride, the fatty acids are attached to each of the three carbons of the glycerol molecule with an ester bond through an oxygen atom Fatty acids have a long chain of hydrocarbons to which a ketone group is attached Fatty acids most commonly contain 12–18 carbons The number of carbons in a fatty acid may range from 4 to 36. Please explain each
Fill in the blank. The parentheses are the choices. Lipids are fatty, oily, or waxy compounds. Many types of lipids with different structures and properties exist, but all lipids are _____(fatty acid, hydrophillic, hydrophobic).
Saturated fatty acids tend to be more
Figure 2.17 Fatty acids. Double bonds in the tails are highlighted in red. A. The tail of stearic acid is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. B. Linoleic acid, with two double bonds, is unsaturated. The first double bond occurs at the sixth carbon from the end of the tail, so linoleic acid is called an omega-6 fatty acid. Omega-6 and C. omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids, which means your body does not make them and they must come from food. D. The hydrogen atoms around the double bond in oleic acid are on the same side of the tail. Most other naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids have these cis bonds. E. Hydrogenation creates abundant trans bonds, with hydrogen atoms on opposite sides of the tail. Figure It Out: Are the double bonds in linolenic acid cis or trans?
Unlike saturated fatty acids, the tails of unsaturated fatty acids incorporate one or more _______. a. phosphate groups b. glycerols c. double bonds d. single bonds
Fill in the blanks. The parentheses are the choices for the blank. Fatty acids and nucleotides are examples of molecular subunits called ______ (monomers, polymers). Complex molecules such as proteins or nucleic acids formed from these repeated molecular subunits are called _______ (monomers, polymers).
This is fill in the blanks ( please check my answers which are the ones underlined) There are five basic types of macromolecules. Those which are used mostly for energy in the body and are made of ring-like structures are called carbohydrates. A single ringed molecule is a monosaccharide, while a molecule with 2 rings is called a disaccharide. Those made by assembling many rings into chains are called covalent bonds. This macromolecule is made only from the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. Another macromolecule made only from these elements lipids. The simplest molecule in this category is called a fatty acid. Three of these can combine with a molecule called glycerol to form a triacylglycerol. A special kind of this macromolecule that includes phosphate and nitrogen is used in cell membranes is called phospholipids. Testosterone and estrogen are another special category of this macromolecule, called hormones. A third macromolecule is based on amino acids. These are made of the…
