Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The sample that contains more monounsaturated fatty acids has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Monounsaturated fatty acid:
The compound contains only one carbon-carbon double bond in the fatty acid is called as monounsaturated fatty acid.
Example:
(b)
Interpretation:
The sample that contains more polyunsaturated fatty acids has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Polyunsaturated fatty acid:
The compound contains more than one carbon-carbon double bond in the fatty acid is called as polyunsaturated fatty acid.
Example:
(c)
Interpretation:
The sample that contains fewer trans-fatty acids has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Trans-fats:
Trans-fats are the unsaturated fatty acid which occurs in very small amounts in nature, but can be prepared using hydrogenation reaction of vegetable oils.

- (a) What is protein turnover? Give 1-2 examples. (b) What are the main differences between glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids?arrow_forwardDefine the term glycosphingolipid.arrow_forwardRecently it has been suggested that using oils with more monounsaturated fatty acids (e.g., oleic acid) is better for our health than those with polyunsaturated fatty acids or saturated fatty acids. What are good sources of oils with predominantly monounsaturated fatty acids? (Hint: See Table 23.2.)arrow_forward
- Rank the fatty acids in each group in order of increasing melting point. A<C<B B<C<A B>C>A A>C>Barrow_forwardGive the lipid number for the following fatty acid:arrow_forwardFrom the given data below, answer the following questions below. Give a brief explanation of your answers in one sentence. 4) Complete hydrogenation of TAG (Y) above would yield a TAG of what fatty acid composition? Enumerate the fatty acid composition with the corresponding percentage. 5) Would the hydrogenation product of TAG (Y) be more like the hydrogenation product of TAG (X) or of TAG (Z)?arrow_forward
- Helparrow_forwardDescribe roles of each non-essential amino acid: ala, asp, asn, glu, gln, arg, gly, ser. Describe roles of each essential amino acid: cys, met, phe, tyr, try, and BCAAs. Describe the importance of one carbon metabolism and homocysteine. Describe the best indicator(s) of protein status. What is the purpose of an SGA? Give examples of physical signs of protein deficiencies. Simple to the point answers please!arrow_forwardName the following fatty acids by the symbol (C:B)arrow_forward
- Describe the biological significance of cholesterol.arrow_forwardWhich of these fatty acids has the lower melting point? Explain why.(a) Linoleic acid (b) Stearic acidarrow_forwardOn a per‑carbon basis, where does the largest amount of biologically available energy in triacylglycerols reside: in the fatty acid portions or the glycerol portion? Why? A) The glycerol portion because the carbons in glycerol are more reduced than those in fatty acids. B) The fatty acid portion because the carbons in fatty acids are more oxidized than those in glycerol. C) The fatty acid portion because the carbons in fatty acids are more reduced than those in glycerol. D) The glycerol portion because the carbons in glycerol are more oxidized than those in fatty acids.arrow_forward
