Question 16

The characteristic that all lipids have in common

Answer 16

they are hydrophobic or non polar

Question 17

What is a hydrocarbon?

Answer 17

A molecule made up of mostly C’s and H’s

Question 18

Why are lipids non-polar?

Answer 18

Because the majority of all lipid molecules are C’s and H’s

Question 19

What is a triglyceride made up of?

Answer 19

1 gylcerol + 3 fatty acids

Question 20

What are the two parts of a fatty acid molecule?

Answer 20

the head (carboxyl group- COOH) and the tail (hydrocarbons)

Question 21

What are two types of fatty acids?

Answer 21

saturated and unsaturated

Question 22

How do saturated and unsaturated fats differ?

Answer 22

Saturated fats have all single bonds between the carbons in the tail and unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds between the carbons in the tail.

Question 23

Differentiate between a monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acid.

Answer 23

monounsaturated fatty acid has one double bond while polyunsaturated fatty acid has more than one double bond
