Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The animal which has largest percentage of saturated fatty acids has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Saturated fatty acids:
A type of fatty acid which has long chains of saturated hydrocarbon i.e. long chain of carbon and hydrogens which are non-polar
(b)
Interpretation:
The vegetable oil which has the largest percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Polyunsaturated fatty acids:
A type of fatty acid which has long chains of
(c)
Interpretation:
The fat or oil which has the largest percentage of the essential fatty acid linoleic acids has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Polyunsaturated fatty acids:
A type of fatty acid which has long chains of unsaturated hydrocarbon i.e. long chain of carbon and hydrogens which is polar and has double bonds between carbon and hydrogen

- (a) Cholesterol is a lipid yet does not form membranes like the membrane lipids and is not used to store energy like the storage lipids. Explain. b) Glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids form membranes but triacylglycerols do not. Why? (c) Triacylglycerols are used for long term energy storage but glycogen and starch are used for short term energy storage. Explainarrow_forwardWhich of these fatty acids has the higher melting point? Explain why.(a) Linolenic acid (b) Stearic acidarrow_forward(a) What is protein turnover? Give 1-2 examples. (b) What are the main differences between glucogenic and ketogenic amino acids?arrow_forward
- Suppose that, for some bizarre reason, you decided to exist on a diet of whale and seal blubber,exclusively. (a) How would lack of carbohydrates affect your ability to utilize fats? (b) What would your breath smell like? (c) One of your best friends, after trying unsuccessfully to convince you to abandon this diet, makes you promise to consume a healthy dose of odd-chain fatty acids. Does your friend have your best interests at heart? Explain.arrow_forwardMost animal fats are solid at room temperature, whereas plant and fish oils tend to be liquid. Both contain fatty acids. Can you predict which type of fat contains saturated fatty acids, and which type contains unsaturated fatty acids?arrow_forwardState whether each of the following constituents typifies a fat, an oil, or both. (a) saturated fatty acids (b) unsaturated fatty acids (c) glycerol (d) ester linkagesarrow_forward
- Which of the following represents a proper designation for monounsaturated fatty acid ? 18:0 18:1 (A6) O 17:3(A6,9,12) 17:2 (A5,8)arrow_forwardWhy do unsaturated fatty acids have lower melting points than their saturated counterparts? What is relationship of the degree of unsaturation and melting or boiling point?arrow_forwardName 3 types of fatty acids. Which is considered least "healthy"? Why? What foods is this type of fat found in?arrow_forward
- Recently 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_forwardWhich one of the following would be a valid symbol identifier of the fatty acid shown below? HO 22:6(D5,8,11,14,17,20) 22:6(D3,6,9, 12, 15, 18) 22:5(w-4) 22:6(w-3) 22:6(w-6)arrow_forwardThe lipid(s) used as the basis of vitamin D, sex hormones, and bile salts is/are (a) triglycerides, (b) cholesterol, (c) phospholipids, (d) prostaglandinarrow_forward
