Which reaction is responsible for the production of lipids when glycerol is joined to three fatty acids?

Biology
1 answer:
Anna35 [415]3 years ago
4 0

This reaction is called a condensation reaction. It is also known as  a dehydration reaction.

When three fatty acids become attached to a glycerol molecule, a triglyceride is formed.  The fatty acids become attached to the glycerol through a condensation reaction named so because 3 water molecules are formed from the 3 OH groups from the fatty acid chains and 3 H atoms from the glycerol.

The bond formed between the fatty acid chain and the glycerol is called an ester linkage.

amm1812

The correct answer is I and IV

In the Basidiomycetes, the spores are produced externally on the end of specialized club-shaped structure called basidia. Whereas, In ascomycetes, spores are produced internally, in the sac-like structure called an ascus.  Some members of ascomycetes cause plant diseases such as powdery mildew of grape (<em>Uncinula necator</em>), chestnut blight (<em>Cryphonectria parasitica</em>), and apple scab (<em>Venturia inequalis)</em>. Memers of basidiomyctes cause smut of corn (<em>Ustilago maydis</em>), brown root rot, and coffee rust.
