4
Q

Points on Lecithin

A

Fa part makes phospholipids soluble in fat

phosphate group/glycerol group allows phospholipids to dissolve in water

-Phospholipids can be used as emulsifiers in foods (mayos , candy bars)

Q

Points on phospholipid functions

A
  • constituents of cell membranes
  • help fat soluble substances

Q

Are digestive enzymes hydrophobic or hydrophilic?

A

hydrophilic

17
Q

What are triglycerides dismantled into?

A
  • monoglycerides
  • fatty acids
  • glycerol
18
Q

Where does lipid digestion begin?

A

-hard fats being to melt @body temp

19
Q

Lipid Digestion: Stomach

A
  • strong muscle contraction propel stomach contents toward pyloric sphincter
  • churning grinds solids to finer particles and fat dispersed as small droplets
20
Q

Gastric Lipase

A

attacks fat droplets

21
Q

Does fat digestion occur in stomach?

A

little

22
Q

Where does mot fat digestion occur?

A

small intestine

23
Q

What does Fat trigger the release of?

A

CCk

which gall bladder releases bile

24
Q

Bile acts as what

A

emulsifier

25
Q

What is a major fat digesting enzyme?

A

pancreatic lipase

26
Q

Pancreatic lipase

A

fats digested as exposed to lipases from pancreas and small intestine

27
Q

What happens to TGs, Phospholipids, and Sterols

A

TGs

  • pancreatic lipases remove 1 FA the lave monoglycerides
  • sometimes all 3 FA are removed

Phospholipids
-similarly hydrolyzed

Sterols
absorbed as is

28
Q

Bile has 2 possible routes

A
  • most reabsorbed from small intestine

2. trapped by dietary soluble fibers in colon

29
Q

What kind of molecules go directly into the bloodstream?

A

small molecules

-glycerol, short and medium chain fatty acids

30
Q

How are large molecules like monoglycerides and long chain FAs absorbed?

A

micelles= water soluble

(emulsified fat droplets, bile surrounds

31
Q

What happens after micelles diffuse?

A

monoglycerides and FA reassemble into new TGs

32
Q

Points on Chylomicrons

A

new TG and other lipids packed with proteins and carried around

-Chylomicrons are carried around and released into lymphatic system

33
Q

Lipoprotein

A

transport vehicles

  • different size and density
  • different amounts of lipids and porteins
34
Q

LDL is what

A

is blood cholesterol linked to heart disease (bad cholesterol)

35
Q

HDL

A

protective against heart disease

good cholesterol
