Decisions How Cardiovascular Disease Can Be Prevented and or Controlled. Insoluble in water lipids can be defined. To move lipids like fatty acid‚ triacylglycerols‚ steroids and fat soluble vitamins within the blood plasma‚ a mover protein is needed. Moved from the adipose tissue to the muscle‚ heart and liver tissues by serum albumin are fatty acids. Moved by the retinol binding protein is Vitamin A. There are steroid moverproteins that move steroids to the aimed cells. Majority of the body’s

protective covering for some parts of the body. Esters of propane-1‚2‚3-triol (glycerol) and long chain carboxylic acids‚ called fatty acids form lipids as follows. If the three fatty acids in a triglyceride are the same‚ it is called a simple glyceride; if they are different‚ it is called a mixed glyceride.The chemical and physical properties of the fat depend on the nature of the fatty acid group R.Fats‚ which are animal in origin‚ are solid at room temperature and have saturated R chains with no

Report #2: Fat Extraction From Food What is a triglyceride? Draw its structure. A molecule that contains three fatty acids attached at the oxygen atoms of glycerol. What are the differences between saturated and unsaturated fats? Drawn an example of each. If all bonds are single‚ the fatty acid molecule is saturated. If there is a double bond among the carbon atoms‚ the fatty acid molecule is unsaturated. What form does each of these fats take at room temperature and what are the common sources

Revision Questions – Nutrients Lipids 1. Lipids are made up of 3 fatty acids and a glycerol molecule‚ referred to as a triglyceride. Glycerol is an alcohol with 3 hydroxyl groups (OH). A fatty acid attaches itself to each hydroxyl group with the elimination of 3 water molecules (condensation). The fatty acids vary and determine the properties of a lipid. 2. Saturated fatty acids: * Each carbon has a full quota of hydrogen atoms. * There are no double bonds. * Solid at room

Examples are in our stews‚ some soups‚ several rice dishes‚ fried or grilled meat and fish. Many have thus perceived that oil has been the cause for several of the ailments that have plagued and still plague our race‚ especially heart

Bio Med. 5.1.1 What is Cholesterol? Unsaturated fat: fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. Saturated fat: Fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acid radicals Trans fat: the common name for unsaturated fat with trans-isomer fatty acid Cholesterol: A compound of the sterol type‚ found in most body tissues and important in metabolism All these things go together because they affect the cholesterol blood
