Lipids Flashcards
which has more double bond oil or fat
oil
monounsaturated fatty acid
contain 1 C=C double bond
polyunsaturated fatty acid
contain multiple C=C double bonds
as double bonds increase what decreases
energy
melting point
where is the primary site of lipid digestion/absorption
small intestine
physical emulsification
mixing in stomach as food enters small intestine
chemical emulsification
bile mixed with digesta at duodenum
what is a micelle
fat droplet
where are fatty acids < 10 C absorbed to
directly to blood
where are fatty acids >12 C absorbed to
intracellular TAG formation
3 phases of fat absorption in SI
emulsification
enzymatic digestion
absorption
two types of emulsification
physical(stomach)
chemical(bile dependent)
what happens in absorption phase in SI
MAG and FFA diffuse from micelle into enterocyte
bile is absorbed in ileum
T/F microbes in the LI act on undigested lipids
TRUE
T/F TAG is easy for ruminants to digest
FALSE. usually fed less than 5%
