|
Fat-soluble vitamins |
A,D,E, and K |
|
|
All Lipids are? |
Organic compounds. Non-polar (water fearing) Lipids include --butter, fat soluble vitamins / hormones, cholesterol |
|
|
Fatty acid is a chain of? |
Carbon atoms (surrounded by hydrogen atoms) with a carboxylic group (acid end) |
|
|
Saturated fats are? |
No double bond 1 Bond Solid / Single Holding as many hydrogen atoms as it can. |
|
|
Common types of Lipids? |
Regular fats. Composed of smaller units. |
|
|
Monomers of fats are? |
Fatty acids. |
|
|
Fatty acid with 1 Carbon to carbon double bond? |
Monounsaturated |
|
|
Fatty acid with 2 or more carbon to carbon double bonds? |
Polyunsaturated |
|
|
Lipids are |
Monomers of fat |
|
|
Saturated fats can? |
Align together Form crystals By getting very close to each other Straight lines Animals and food from animals Fats, eggs, meats, milk, butter, lard |
|
|
Plants rarely contain? Except? |
Rarely contain saturated fats. EXCEPTION: PALM TREES & COCONUTS |
|
|
Saturated fats at room temperature are? |
Solid due to straight lines |
|
|
Liquid fats are? |
Unsaturated Double bonded |
|
|
Carbon + hydrogen on same side? |
CIS DOUBLE BOND Due to kink in lines |
Unsaturated liquid. |
|
Trans fat? |
Man made double bond solid not found in nature. Not on same line. Straight line always. Not completely disgusted. |
|
|
Unsaturated fat to saturated is? |
Hydrogenation. Chemical reaction. Forces carbon double bond on the same side. Creating Trans double bond by product. Plant oil to become solid. |
Gift your body cannot use. |
|
Saturated fats and cis-unsatured fats? |
Found in nature / bodies have adapted to use them for energy. |
|
|
The more solid margarine is at room temperature? |
The more Trans fat it contains. |
|
|
Most common type of lipid polymer? |
Made up of 3 fatty acids attached to a glycerol molecule backbone |
|
|
Most common type of lipid? |
Triglycerides |
1 glycerol backbone + 3 fatty acids = triacylglyceride (or triglycerides = TG) |
|
Function of triglycerides? |
Act as fuel for energy to make ATP |
|
|
Phospholipid (PL) |
A group hydrophobic & hypeophliic molecules creating moment. Phosphate group = the head Fatty acids = the tails |
|
|
Surfactant |
Another phospholipid daily is soap. Half water soluble / half fat soluble Hybrid on surface between water soluble / insoluble. Found in babies lungs |
|
|
Cholesterol |
Produced only by animals Derivatives are --steroids & stereometric Multiple ring structure |
|
|
Cholesterol functions |
1. Production of steroid hormones 2. Production of vitamin D 3. Production of bile salts and acids 4. Structural molecule - provides rigidity & stability |
|
|
When Arachidonic Acid (fatty acid) becomes modified by an enzyme? |
COX (Cyclooxygenase) turning into 1. PG - Prostaglandins 2. LT - Leukotrienes 3. TX - Thromboxane |
|
|
Prostaglandins |
Usually start inflammation. (Vasodilation blood vessels expand) pain starts, muscle spasms |
|
|
Leukotrienes |
Attract white blood cells to come to affected area to fight invaders or parasite (allergy response) |
|
|
Thromboxane |
Produced by damaged cells of broken blood vessel. Blood clotting response attracts platelets |
|
|
Most likely to become free radicals? |
Lipids |
|
|
Fatty acids turn into aldehyde then? |
This makes fat turn rancid. Result of oxidation |
|
|
When fats become oxidized? |
Immune system recognizes them as foreign and tries to eliminate them. Leads to inflammation. |
|
|
Pro-oxidants |
Speed up & promote lipid oxidation 1. Oxygen 2. Radiation 3. Smoking 4. Alcohol 5. Light |
|
|
Antioxidants |
Slow down oxidation 1. Vitamin E 2. Vitamin C 3. Beta carotene 4. Selenium 5. Flavanoids 6. Anthocyanins 7. Resveratol 8. Licopene |
|
|
Flavanoids, Licopene, Resveratol, Anthocyanins |
Tannins. Found in dark & bright colored fruits & vegetables |
|
