Unsaturated fat

Saturated and Trans fats are considered unhealthy fats. Trans fats are also called partially hydrogenated fats because the oils are converted in a solid fat at room temperature changing the carbon to carbon double bond to a carbon to carbon single bond structure (McGuire et al., 2013, pg. 128). Saturated fats contain carbon to carbon single bonds in its structure, then making its structure more rigid, less likely to bend in shape, and solidifying it at room temperature (McGuire et al., 2013, pg. 127). Foods that are considered unhealthy fats are eggs, meat dairy, and coconut oil (McGuire et al., 2013, pg. 127). Unsaturated fats such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are considered healthy fats (McGuire et al., 2013, pg. 127). Unsaturated fats contains at least on carbon to carbon double bond in its structure, then making its structure less rigid, more likely to bend in shape, and liquefying it at room temperature into an oil (McGuire et al., 2013, pg. 127). Foods that are considered healthy fats are nuts, seeds, avocados, olives and other plants (McGuire et al., 2013, pg. 127).…

It has long been studied that saturated fats increase cholesterol. Mono-unsaturated (one carbon double-double bond) and polyunsaturated (more than one carbon double-double bond) found primarily in vegetable oils, tend to lower cholesterol and therefore better for your health. Higher cholesterol elevates the chances of getting coronary heart disease. Back in the 1950’s, it was discovered that animal fats could be substituted with vegetable oils in the substance we know as margarine. This meant…

FAT The diet world is urged to forbid fat it from diets as often as possible. Yet, as many things the diet world forbids, fat has extremely important health benefits. Fats belong to the macromolecule group of lipids. Lipids are extremely important to the body, and cannot be cut out of one's diet completely. The primary role of lipids in your body is to provide energy for muscles and body processes. Half of the fuel the body needs when it is resting or doing an everyday activity comes from…

sources on the internet and from my high school chemistry teacher. This project is the results of months of research and a basic understanding of the science of body fat. I am only a high school student and not a professional nor an expert on this subject, but I strongly believe that I presented accurate facts about how fat occurs during weight gain and loss and the different types of fats that exist. There are a lot of misconceptions about fat. For instance, we frequently hear about how it is…

• Atherosclerosis is a condition in which cholesterol, calcium and other substances build up in body arteries, blocking the blood flow. • Visceral Fat is fat around organs. Its function is to insulate and protect organs. • Subcutaneous Fat is under the skin. This fat protects and insulate our body. Fat (visceral and subcutaneous) stores energy. • Omega-3 fatty acids have the first double bond on the third carbon counting from the carbon in the methyl end. These are essential fatty acids (our…

in the risk of AD. Role of Dietary Fats There have been some metabolic studies that have shown that diets that have a high ration of saturated fat to polyunsaturated or monosaturated fats cause a poor plasma cholesterol profile. This is signified by an increase in low-density lipoprotein and a decrease in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. This is important because cholesterol has been thought to play a big role in Alzheimer’s Disease. The most important genetic risk factor for AD is the…

FAD2, a very important enzyme in the fatty acid biosynthesis pathways. Pennycress has relatively high Erucic (22:4) acid content, and disadvantages of Erucic acid is that it has a relatively poor cold flow properties. Cold flow is the tendency of a solid material to move slowly or deform permanently under the influence of mechanical stress (cold). The goal is to construct a knockout of FAD2 in the seeds, which we are hoping will reduce the amount of unsaturated fatty acids, making the oil…

Cholesterol and Fats By Name: Institution: Cholesterol has a sub-nuclear recipe of C27H45OH. This molecule is composed out of three ranges: a hydrocarbon tail, a ring structure District with four hydrocarbon rings and a hydroxyl total. The hydroxyl (OH) gregarious affair is polar, which makes it dissolvable in dihydrogen monoxide. This little 2-atom structure makes cholesterol an alcohol. The alcohol that we imbibe, ethanol, is a much more minuscule alcohol that moreover has a hydroxyl…

1. What is the difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide? Provide examples of each. Ans. Monosaccharide is a monomer that only consists one sugar but disaccharide has two. 2. Why is a sugar considered an organic compound? Ans. Because a compound that contains carbon is organic and the compound that doesn’t contain carbon is inorganic. 3. What are the three elements found in all sugars? Ans. Hydrogen, oxygen and carbon. Lipids 4. What are the two main parts of a lipid? Ans. Fatty…
