True
1 of 9
what is an acid anhydride?
a carboxylic acid with the OH group bonded by an amide link
2 of 9
what two components make up a trglyceride?
three fatty acid chain and a glycerol molecule
3 of 9
what is the difference between an unsaturated and saturated fatty acid chain?
unsaturated contains double bonds, saturated does not
4 of 9

False
7 of 9
what effect does stereoisomerism have on a triglyceride molecule?
cis isomerism allows loose packing of the fatty acid chain making a liquid at room temperature.
