2018年11月1日 · Fatty acids are relatively high in molecular mass compared to the monomer (which is essentially a carbon atom), although they're quite low in mass compared to all other biological polymers. Since we consider proteins polypeptides, as you rightly note, the monomers clearly don't have to be chemically identical, so the variations around a simple ...

2022年9月26日 · Also, fatty acids of different sizes have their own specific names (e.g. oleic acid), while polymer naming systems are usually blind to size. Polymers are generally composed of roughly >100 monomers (Be aware that everyone sets their own threshold at which size something‘s a polymer).

This will happen repeatedly in each cycle of the process. Obviously since each monomer has both -SH groups a single fatty acid synthase dimer can be engaged in two elongations at the same time, but these will always include a transfer. It is thought that the initiating acetyl group comes in via the Pan-SH group. You say:

2024年5月27日 · Stearic acid is a monomer. It is a saturated fatty acid that is commonly found in animal and vegetable fats. It is not a repeating unit in a polymer chain like in synthetic polymers.

2024年5月20日 · What is monomer polymer and dimer for lipids? In terms of lipids, a monomer is a single building block unit, such as a fatty acid. A polymer is a larger molecule made up of repeating monomer units ...

2024年5月20日 · An amino acid is the monomer used to create proteins. Nucleotides are the basic unit used to make nucleic acids (such as DNA). ... Their monomers are: Carbohydrates- Simple sugar Lipids-Fatty Acid ...

2024年5月22日 · The monomer of a protein polymer is an amino acid. Amino acids are building blocks of proteins and are linked together through peptide bonds to form a protein chain. This answer is:

2024年6月2日 · Each unit is a monomer. But fat molecules are not like that. A molecule of a fat has only four components: a molecule of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. Each of the fatty acids is linked ...

An example of a lipid monomer is a fatty acid, which consists of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group. ... Saturated lipids have no double bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains ...

2024年5月21日 · The monomers of triglyceride are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is a three-carbon molecule with hydroxyl groups, and fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxylic acid group at one ...
