Interpretation:
Lipids make us feel full for a long time after a meal, the reason for this should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Lipids are a heterogeneous group of compounds, including fats, oils, steroid, waxes and related compounds that are related more by their physical than by their chemical properties. They are relatively insoluble in water and soluble in nonpolar solvents such as ether and chloroform.
Lipids are insoluble in aqueous solution. The digestive enzymes are present in aqueous medium which leads certain problem in digestion of lipids. This can be overcomes by following ways,
Increasing the surface area of lipids for digestion
Emulsification of lipids by bile salts
Solubilizing the digested product for absorption

This process activates mevalonate and converts it to isopentenyl pyrophosphate. Identify the atoms in mevalonate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate that will be labeled from acetyl CoA labeled with 14C in the carbonyl carbon. Place 14C atoms and C atoms to denote which carbon atoms are labeled and which are not labeled.
