final Flashcards
Solid at room temp and all C’s are filled with hydrogens (No double bonds between C)
saturated fatty acids
liquid at room temp, all C’s aren’t filled with H’s and there are double bonded carbons
unsaturated fatty acid
saturated, Straight chained, even # C’s
animal fatty acids
unsaturated, straight chained, even # C’s
plant fatty acids
saturated, branch-chained, odd # C’s
microbial fatty acids
the backbone of triglycerides
glycerol
steatitis
yellow sled dog disease

Low density lipoprotein
makes up most of the bodies cholesterol- considered bad cholesterol
High density lipoprotein

adipocyte containing high levels of mitochondria
brown fat
in cell membranes emulsifying nature and semi-permeable
phospholipids
why does fat have 2.25x more energy than carbohydrates
the C-H bonds
microminerals function as
activators of enzyme systems and as components of organic compounds
deficiency of micro minerals are
poor growth, anorexia, dermatitis, poor feathering/hair/skin
Cobalt is required for what and what is it used for
B12
if they are deficient in any then they cannot utilize VFAs for energy
a deficiency in Iodine results in
Goiter- the irregular growth of the thyroid gland
