Concept explainers
Which of the following statements are true about lipids?
There may be more than one correct answer so make sure to check all answers that are true.
-
Fats tend to be liquid at room temperature while oils tend to be solid.
-
A saturated fat contains fatty acids that only have single bonds between each carbon in the carbon chain.
-
The presence of multiple double bonds in a fatty acid make it more likely that the overall lipid will be a liquid at room temperature.
-
Phospholipids are able to form a phospholipid bilayer due to the fact that they contain a polar component at the "head" of the molecule, and a long and relatively straight non-polar component at the "tail" of the molecule
-
Fats, lipids, and steroids all have the same general structure involving a glycerol molecule and fatty acids.
Step by stepSolved in 4 steps
- Which of the below statements is correct regarding tertiary structure? All are correct Disulfide bonds help maintain tertiary structures Maintained by amino acid sequence and chaperone proteins. Non-covalent bonds, free energy is small so not very stable.arrow_forwardMacromolecules Food Example Monomer(s) contained in this food Carbohydrates Lipids Proteins Nucleic Acids N/A (in all foods)arrow_forwardWhen water freezes the bonding of its molecules becomes flexible its density increases it expands its molecules come closer to one anotherarrow_forward
- What characteristic is common to all lipid molecules? The are composed of primarily carbon and oxygen atoms. They are most typically charged molecules. They are only located in cell membranes. They do not dissolve in water.arrow_forwardMonosaccharides should always have at least two hydroxyl group. True or False? Monosaccharides can have two or more aldehyde groups in one structure. True or False? Both aldehyde group and ketone group are always present in a monosaccharide. True or False? All carbons of monosaccharide should have at least one hydroxyl group. True or False?arrow_forwardGlycerin, bound to three fatty acids, forms a ____ fat, which is also called neutral fat. cholesterol steroid triglyceride phospholipidarrow_forward
- What is the molecular structure responsible for creating differences between saturated and unsaturated fats? Double and Triple Bonds Polar Covalent Bonds O Hydrophobicity O Nonpolar Covalent Bondsarrow_forwardWhich of the following regarding disulfide bonds is/are true? Disulfide bonds are the most common intrachain covalent linkage in proteins Disulfide bond formation is critical for correct protein folding into the native conformation Disulfide bonds impart a large degree of stability to the secondary structure of proteins The intracellular environment is too oxidizing to allow disulfide bond formation A and Darrow_forwardNonearrow_forward
