LESSON 2 P2: Fatty Acids Flashcards
A macromolecule that has typically 12-24C with carboxyl group at the end.
Fatty Acids
A fatty acid that has a structure of fatty acid + glycerol.
Glycerides
What are the three classification of glycerides?
Monoglycerides
Diglycerides
Triglycerides
A classification of glycerides that are rare. Only contains one fatty acid chain and a glycerol.
Monoglycerides
A classification of glycerides that has two fatty acid chain and a glycerol. Can be found in membrane lipids.
Diglycerides
A classification of glycerides that has three fatty acid chain and a glycerol. Can be found in fat deposits and adipocytes.
Triglycerides
A classification of glycerides that are stored fats.
Triglycerides
A classification of glycerides that is a saturated fatty acid, and solid at room temperature.
Animal fat
A classification of glycerides that is unsaturated fatty acid, and liquid at room temperature.
Plant fat
What compound element is used to break down triglycerides: 1 glycerides, and 3 fatty acid chain.
Salt (NaCl)
A classification of glycerides that is often attached to phosphate group.
Diglycerides
A type of fatty acid that are ringed shaped rather than chains.
Steroids
Cholesterol, Testosterone, Progesterone, and Estrogen are example of what type of fatty acid?
Steroids
What are the classifications of lipids?
Simple lipids, Compound lipids, and derived lipids.
What is the structure of simple lipids?
Ester of fatty acid and alcohol
What is the structure of compound lipids?
Simple lipids plus other compounds.
What is the structure of derived lipids?
Combination of simple and compound.
Example of a simple lipids:
Triglycerides and bee waxes
Example of compound lipids:
Phospholipid, glycolipids, sulfolipid
Example of derived lipids:
Fatty acids, and steroids
Where can lipids be found in animal body?
subcutaneous gland, marbly and milk
Where can lipids be found in natural sources?
Most of feeds contains less than 10%, except oil seeds.
