Q

Bad fat

A

Saturated fats (animal)

25
Good fat
Monounsaturated fats(plant fat)
26
Its either good and bad fats
Polyunsaturated fats
27
Function of good fat
(monounsaturated) helps reduce the stickiness of blood platelets
28
are triacylglycerol(lipid form by spherification of glycerol molecule
Fats
29
natural occuring mixture of triacylglycerol
Oil
30
Diff. of fat and oil
Fat- solid at room temp (25°C) | Oil- liquid at room temp, obtain from plants sources
31
Physical properties of fatty acid
water solubility of fatty acid- solubility | *melting point
32
solubility increases and water solubility water decreases
water solubility of fatty acid
33
strongly influence by both carbon degree length
melting point
34
unsaturated in melting point
low melting point
35
saturated in melting point
higher melting point
36
as carbon chain length increases, melting point_____
increases
37
non saphoniable lipids example
triacyl glycerols, phospholipids & any other waxes
38
cannot be broken into smaller unit since they cant react with water( solid lipids, non polar lipids)
cholesterol steroid hormones acid ecoxanoid
