in what configuration is a linear Unsaturated FA shape created
Trans
When there is a cis FA configuration, the shape of the molecule has a ________
kink/fold
Name sources of trans unsaturated FAs
processed foods, margarine, partially hydrogenated oils
Which shorthand notation system displays # of carbons and the amount of double bonds as well as their location
Delta
This shorthand notation system gives position of first double bond from the methyl end
omega
Which omega-3 fatty acid is essential
a- linolenic
This essential FA is an omega-6
linoleic acid
Which omega-3s are non-essential
EPA & DHA
why can’t humans make essential FA
they don’t have the enzymes to insert a DB past carbon 9
