Fat molecules are made up of a molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids. The fatty acids each consist of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end, while the glycerol molecule has three hydroxyl groups that interact with each carboxyl.

Where in the cell are protein molecules formed?
Protein molecules are formed in the ribosome of the cell/
Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the?
Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the small intestines.
When the new bases are attached two new what are formed?
When the new bases are attached,two new DNA molecules are formed.
What two molecules are formed by the Hydrogen ions?
one of the hydrogen molecules are water
What element is in every amino acid molecules except carbonhydrate and fat molecules?
Nitrogen.
What happens to fat and sugar molecules when combined?
Glycolipids are formed.
How are trans fats formed?
Trans fats are made when manufactures add hydrogen to the fat molecules in vegetable oils.
Is cholesterol fat?
Cholesterol is a waxy steroid found in animal fat, along with phospholipids and triglycerides. It can also be formed by the liver from molecules within the body.
Lipids are what type of molecules?
Fat molecules
What system is responsible for transporting fat-soluble nutrients from the digestive system to the bloodstream?
Fats. Fat molecules are a rich source of energy for the body. The first step in digestion of a fat such as butter is to dissolve it into the watery content of the intestinal cavity. The bile acids produced by the liver act as natural detergents to dissolve fat in water and allow the enzymes to break the large fat molecules into smaller molecules, some of which are fatty acids and cholesterol. The bile acids combine with the fatty acids and cholesterol and help these molecules to move into the cells of the mucosa. In these cells the small molecules are formed back into large molecules, most of which pass into vessels (called lymphatics) near the intestine. These small vessels carry the reformed fat to the veins of the chest, and the blood carries the fat to storage depots in different parts of the body.
What are the molecular units of fat molecules?
Fatty acid molecules and glycerol molecules.
Is fat salt?
A salt is what is formed when a negative ion pairs up with a positive ion to neutralize their respective charges. A fat is a fairly complex molecule that has a glyceride, and a few chain of faty acids. They are very different molecules .
What molecules is are lost when a triglyceride is formed?
water molecules are lost

Proteins are formed in the ribosomes.

Lymphatic vessels serve to absorb fat molecules from the small intestines.
Are staurated fat molecules stronger or weaker than unsaturated fats?
saturated fat molecules are much stronger than unsaturated fat molecules due to the "saturation" of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon molecules. such molecules are therefore inherently stable and require and enormous amount of energy to release the hydrogen molecules from the sequestered carbon.
