Fats are formed by ( dehydration or condensation / hydrolysis). Fats are broken down by ( dehydration or condensation / hydrolysis). Fats are triglycerides made of ______ fatty acids and the alcohol glycerol.
Adi S.
Lipids such as triglycerides are made of glycerol and three fatty acids. These parts are bonded together by removing OH from one molecule and H from the other. These then make water. This process is called: a. hydrogen bonding b. digestion c. hydrolysis d. dehydration synthesis.
