24
Q

FIVE CATEGORIES OF LIPIDS BASED ON CHEMICAL FUNCTION

Membrane lipids

A

phospholipids, sphingolipids, cholesterol

25
FIVE CATEGORIES OF LIPIDS BASED ON CHEMICAL FUNCTION Emulsification lipids
Bile acids
26
FIVE CATEGORIES OF LIPIDS BASED ON CHEMICAL FUNCTION Messenger lipids
steroid hormones and eicosanoids
27
FIVE CATEGORIES OF LIPIDS BASED ON CHEMICAL FUNCTION Protective coating lipids
biological waxes
28
SAPONIFIABLE
TAG, phospholipids, sphingoglycolipids, biological waxes
29
NONSAPONIFIABLE
cholesterol, steroid hormones, bile acids, eicosanoids
30
building blocks of lipids
Fatty acids
31
are naturally occurring monocarboxylic acid.
Fatty acids
32
FATTY ACIDS BASED ON CARBON CHAIN LENGTH long-chain fatty acids
C12 to C26
33
FATTY ACIDS BASED ON CARBON CHAIN LENGTH medium-chain fatty acids
C8 and C10
34
FATTY ACIDS BASED ON CARBON CHAIN LENGTH short-chain fatty acids
C4 and C6
35
is a fatty acid with a carbon chain in which all carbon–carbon bonds are single bonds.
SATURATED FATTY ACIDS
36
Aka BAD FAT, dietary effect is an increase in heart disease risk.
SATURATED FATTY ACIDS
37
is a fatty acid with a carbon chain in which one carbon–carbon double bond is present.
MONOUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
38
Aka GOOD FAT, Dietary effect is a decrease in heart disease risk.
MONOUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
39
fatty acid with a carbon chain in which two or more carbon–carbon double bonds are present.
POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
40
Dietary effect is “mixed”
POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
41
As GOOD FAT- decrease heart disease risk As BAD FAT – increase cancer risk
POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
42
ontain in naturally occurring fatty acids associated with good fat.
-cis
43
groups in the double bond is located in the same position causing the FA to stay bend
-cis
44
Hydrogenation converts some cis to trans double bonds. (opposite position)
-trans
45
have effects on blood chemistry similar to those of saturated fatty acids.(BAD FAT)
-trans
46
First double bond is three carbons away from the -CH3 end of the carbon chain
Omega -3
47
is the primary member of this family & a precursor for EPA & DHA.
Omega -3 LINOLENIC ACID (18:3)
48
First double bond is six carbons away from the CH3 end of the carbon chain.
Omega-6
49
is the primary member of this family & a precursor for arachidonic acid
LINOLEIC ACID (18:2)
50
At LINOLEIC ACID (18:2)
