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) What is the difference between low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs)? (b) Why are LDLs called "bad" cholesterol? (c) Why are HDLs called "good" cholesterol?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_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
