where is fat stored in vertebrates?

Answer 3

adipocytes or fat cells

Question 4

enzyme that catlyze the hydrolysis of stored triacylglycerol

Answer 4

lipase

Question 5

why is triacylglycerol stored as fuels rather than polysaccharides?

Answer 5

1: they produces more energy because they are completly reduced

2: hydrofobic, so they cannot contain any water –> less weight to carry

fat can be used as

Answer 6

insulation

is it trans of cis bonds that make the food unhealthy?

Answer 7

trans

structure of sphingolipids

Answer 11

membrane phosporlipid + glycolipid. have polat head + 2 nonpolar tails and NO glycerol

Question 12

sterols

Answer 12

compunds with a system of 4 fused hudrocarbon rings

Question 13

glycerophospholipid/glycerides

Answer 13

membrane protein cosisting of 2 FA attach to 1+2 C-atom in glycerol, plus a highly polar chardhoup in the 3. C-atom.

phosphate group has a negative charge at pH=7

Question 14

plasmalogen

Answer 14

ether lipid with a double bond between C1 and C2. found i high concentration in heart tissue ind vertebrates.

function is unknown

Question 15

glycolipid

Answer 15

lipid predominate in plants

Question 16

galactolipid

Answer 16

glycolipid. 2 galactose reasidues are held together by glycosidic linkage to 3C on a 1,2-diacylglycerol

Question 17

sphingolipid

Answer 17

large class og membrane lipids (phospho- and glyco-lipids)

consist of 2 nonpolar tails, and a polar head

Question 18

ceramide

Answer 18

structural parent to shingolipids.

when a fatty acid is attach to the NH_3 group on the C2-atom on the sphingosine

Question 19

sphingomyelin

Answer 19

have aphosphocholine or phosphoethanolamine as their polar head

can be found in plasma membranes in animal cells + myelin (isolates axons)

Question 20

glycosphingolipid

Answer 20

lipid. typically found in the outer face of the plasma membrane. have a head consisting of one or more sugars.

Question 21

cerebroside

Answer 21

single sugar linked to the ceramide .
The ones with galactose: found in plasma membrane for neutral tissue
The ones with glucose: found in plasma membranes on nonneutral tissuse cells

sometimes called a neutral glycolipid –> no charge when PH=7

Question 22

globoside

Answer 22

glycosphingolipids with 2 or more sugars, typically d-glucose, N-acetyl-d-galactosamine or d-galactose

sometimes called a nutral glucolipid –> no charge a pH=7

sterol

Answer 24

membrane lipid in EU-cells

consisting of 4 fused rings, 3 rings with 6 carbons, and 1 with five. relative planar and relative rigid (stiv)

Question 25

cholesterol

Answer 25

major sterol in animal tissue. consist of polar head group, nonpolar carbon body about 16 C-atoms long and is amphiphathic

Question 26

bile acids

Answer 26

polar derivates of cholesterol. acts as detergents in the intestines, emulsifying dieteary fats --> easy acess for digestive lipases

Question 27

paracrine hormone, invovled in reproductive function, iflammation, fever, pain, blood presure, gastric section, and hunman health and/or diseases

Question 28

prostaglandin (PG)

Answer 28

eicosanoid derivate stimulate smooth muscle contration during mensturation and labor, affect blood flow, wake-sleep cycle, body temp

Question 29

thromboxane (TX)

Answer 29

eicosanoid derivate act in the formation of blood clots, and reduction of blood flow to the site of clots
