Answer 1

it's a chemical reaction between an alcohol group (on the glycerol) and a carboxylic acid (from the fatty acid) called "esterification", creates an ester bond/functional group. It is also a "condensation" reaction because it creates a water molecule.

Answer 2

1) A saturated fat becoming unsaturated

2) A fat molecule forming through dehydration synthesis

3) The saturation of a triglyceride molecule

4) Dehydration synthesis breaking down a fat molecule

Answer 3

Which the answer?

Answer 4

Question is difficult

Answer 5

none of those options really fit the description

Answer 6

i guess 2) is the closest

Answer 7

i think is 4 ) Dehydration synthesis breaking down a fat molecule

Answer 8

well there is not breakdown of a fat molecule.

you're taking a fatty acid (a fat molecule) and glycerol and making a monoglyceride (another fat molecule)

Answer 9

I dont know too much about the topic but I know that https://njvs.desire2learn.com/content/enforced/12833-3987/0201ChemistryofLife(Honors)/image0024e394529.jpg?_&d2lSessionVal=8K2OZ6AZcXY7nFCWJJffDXYgd same picture comes up when I type in google images ) Dehydration synthesis breaking down a fat molecule

Answer 10

That is the only time that same process comes up

Answer 11

i can tell you that it's not a breakdown of a fat molecule, but you are free to make the choice you seem fit

Answer 12

yeah your right

Answer 13

its number 2

Answer 14

Dehydration synthesis

Answer 15

it is
