Lipids Flashcards
How much lipid is in a typical animal diet? How much with supplimentation?
2-3% in diet.
6-8% With supplimentation.
What is the E content of carbs in comparison to lipids?
2.25%
What are the fate soluble vitamins?
KADE.
These are examples of which classification of lipid?
(simple or compound lipid?)
Fatty acids. Tracylglycerols, diacylglycerols, monoacylglycerols. Waxes (sterol esters and non-sterol esters).
Simple lipids
These are examples of which classification of lipid?
(simple or compound lipid?)
Phospolipids, phosphatidic cids, plasmlogens, sphingomyelins.
Glycolipids, lipoproteins.
Compound lipids
Contain, no lipid components.
Phospohlipids (contain P).
Glycolipids (contain carbohydrates)
Lipoproteins (Contain Protein).
T/F
Lipids contain hydrocarbon chains. The contain more C and H in relation to carbohydrates which makes them a more [ ] source of E?
T
T/F
The carboxyl end is insoluable in water
F
The carboxyl end is soluable in water!!
OH-C=O
Cis or trans?
Trans-
H on opposite sides
Cis or trans?
Cis-
H on the same side, resulting in a KINKY molecule
Which (Cis or trans) exists in ruminant tissues as the ferminantion of unsaturated FAs?
Trans in ruminant tissues from the fermenetation of unsaturated FAs.
___Delta/Omega_____ reads from carboylic to methyl (right to left)
___Delta__ reads from carboylic to methyl (right to left)
__Delta/ Omega___ reads from methyl to carboxylic (lef tto right)
Omega___ reads from methyl to carboxylic (lef tto right)
Which notation is this? Delta or Omega?
Omega
Why are linoleic and linolenic essential?
B/c the body cannot synthezise them on its own
What do the delta 12 and 15 desaturate enzymes do? Why is it important?
Take c-c and making into c=c (double bonds). They are onyl expressed in plants. Animals cannot do this. WHich is why linoleic and linloenic acid are so important!!
Things you will see without enough essential FAs in diet:
Retareded growth, Kidney lesions, dermatitis of feet and back, repro failure, necrosis of tail, early death
Best source of lipids?
Oilseeds!!!
Canola, soybean, sunflower, safflower
Omega 3–> fish oils
What is the difference between constant and variable body fat?
Constant is the structural components found in membranes, nerves, blood and is constants required. (phospholipid and glycolipids).
Variable- fat reserves, can be mobilized for utilization
What are the function sof Fas and lipids in the body, general.
Long-term E reserves, isolation, structural component of cell membrances (phospholipids), component of steriod hormones, fat-soluable vit absorption and synth.
