What is the length of a triglycerides? How are glycerol and fatty acids “connected” to make a triglyceride?

Biology
1 answer:
Ostrovityanka [42]3 years ago

Every fatty acids has a long hydrocarbon chain (with even amounts of carbons, usually 16 or 18) and a carboxyl group.

glycerol is a 3-carbon molecule with 3 -OH groups.

fatty accids and glycerol can be connected by single or double bonds, depending on if the fatty acid is saturated or unsaturated.

when a lipid forms, the -COOH functional groups of 3 fatty acids react with -OH groups of glycerol.

this leaves 16, 18, or 20 carbons, making a triglyceride 16, 18, or 20 carbons long.

hope this helps!

How does conduction heat the atmosphere
podryga [215]

Heat from the Earth's core and radiation from the Sun is transferred to the surface of the Earth by conduction. Contact of the atmosphere with these warm surfaces transfers thermal energy, which then heats up the rest of the air through convection.

The atmosphere is also slightly heated by absorption of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun. The warm land and water radiates infrared, some of which is absorbed by the atmosphere, adding to its thermal energy. The remaining heat on the surface is sent out into space in the form of infrared radiation.
