Question

Fats are the predominant forms of a class of biological molecules called , which also includes fatty acids and steroids among other molecules. These biomolecules readily dissolve in solvents such as hexane and chloroform. Because of their insolubility in water, fats and other biomolecules in this class are said to be . Triacylglycerols, also known as triglycerides, are a storage form of fat found in adipose tissue that consist of glycerol bound to . These fats are categorized based on the bonding of the carbon atoms in the chain. Fats that contain chains with no double bonds are classified as , while those that contain double bonds in the carbon chain are .

Options for the blanks are : carbs,proteins, hydrophilic, polar, lipids, hydrophobic, saturated, nonpolar, fatty acids, unsaturated

Answer 1

Fats are the predominant forms of a class of biological molecules called lipids, which also includes fatty acids and steroids among other molecules. These biomolecules readily dissolve in organic solvents such as hexane and chloroform. Because of their insolubility in water, fats and other biomolecules in this class are said to be hydrophobic. Triacylglycerols, also known as triglycerides, are a storage form of fat found in adipose tissue that consist of glycerol bound to fatty acids. These fats are categorized based on the bonding of the carbon atoms in the chain. Fats that contain chains with no double bonds are classified as saturated, while those that contain double bonds in the carbon chain are unsaturated.
