What is most likely to dissolve in water: a dissacharide or a triglyceride? Why?
It does not need to be complicated, just simple. . .thanx

Dissacharide does.

A dissacharide because those are sugars and sugard dissolve in water. A triglyceride is fat and fat does not dissolve, rather it builds up.

dissacharides are sugars and they are hydrophillic (water-loving)
triglycerides are fats and they are hydrophobic (nonwater loving)
therefore dissacharides will dissolve in the water unlike triglycerides (they will most likely float to the top)

a dissacharide, which is a sugar. Triglycerides are fats. Sugar will dissolve in water, fats will not.

A dissacharide is sugar based and will disolve quickly, triglyceride is a fat, fat will not dissolve in water.

a dissacharide will.
it is broken down into simple sugars rather than a polymer through hydrolysis. triglycerides are fatty/oily normally and are only broken by proteins/enzymes rather than water.

A triglyceride is a combination of glycerol (liquid oil) and 3 fatty acids (partially solid oil). It is not soluble in water. It is the main ingredient in vegetable oil.
Disaccharide is a combination of 2 monosaccharide molecules, which is only simple sugars, like those found in fruit. You already know that fruit is mostly water (like watermelon).
So, the answer is disaccharide.

disacchariddes because they have many opportunities for hydrogen bonding to occur, but triglycerides are hydrophobic and pack together to avoid contact with water.

disaccharides are sugars. As you know, sugars usually dissolve in water. (think of sugar in tea)
Triglycerides are fats. As you know, fat usually doesn't dissolve in water (think oil and water)

triglyceride cause it has more acid than the other and acid dissolves faster like salt in water it dissolves right up.
