Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The given molecules are to be classified as triglyceride, saccharide or amino acid.
Concept Introduction:
Fats and oils are triglycerides. Triglycerides have three long hydrocarbon chains.
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy
Carbohydrates can be classified as monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides.
The monosaccharides are composed of a single sugar unit.
The disaccharides are double-ringed structures in which two monosaccharide units are linked together.
Amino acids are the repeating structural units in a protein molecule. They contain anamino group and a carboxylic acid group, which arebonded to a central carbon atom. The structure of an amino acid is represented as follows:
