Answer 6

1) 1 ,2,3,4 From the carboxylic group
2) alpha , beta , gamma , delta , epsilon from the carboxylic group
3) omega 1, omega 2, omega 3 ,…. from the methyl group

Question 7

classification of the faty acids accordinig to bonds is either …. or ….

Answer 7

Saturated or Unsaturated

Question 8

Unsaturated fatty acids are ( and mention the subcategories )

Answer 8

Fatty acids which has double bonds.
1. if it has only one then it’s called “Monoenoic (AKA monoethenoid)”
2. if it has more than one then it’s called polyenoic (PUFA)

Question 9

The two families in the PUFA subcategory is

Answer 9

w3 and w6

Question 10

The most Important SFA (Saturated Fatty acids) and mention it’s importance

Answer 10

palmatic acid
The most common in human tissues and produces TAG (Triacylglycerols)

Question 11

Bio Medical Hazards of SFA

Answer 11

As it includes saturated fatty acids, it increases the cholestrol level which results in coronary heart diseases

Question 12

Importance of Monoenoic Acids

Answer 12

Monoeic acid decreases plasma cholestrol

Question 13

Importance of W6

Answer 13

Decrease Plasma cholestrol

Question 14

importance of w3 (4 points)

Answer 14

1) Decrease Cholestrol which prevents Cardiovascular diseases
2) lower the blood pressure
3) lower triacylglycerol levels
4) lower the tendency of thrombosis
