Question

Fil in the blanks:1. A fat molecule is composed of two types of smaller molecules, including only one molecule of _________. 2. A _________ fat molecule also includes one, two, or three molecules. 3. A fat molecule with only one fatty acid is called a __________. 4. A fat molecule with three fatty acids is called a triacylglycerol, or a _________. 5. A fatty acid includes a carboxyl group (-COOH) at one end as well as a long _________. 6. The hydrocarbon chains found in fats store a lot of energy. They also make fats _________, or insoluble in water.

Answer 1

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 2

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.
