Quiz 2 Flashcards
are the primary storage form of energy and serve as an animal’s body’s “savings account”
Triglycerides (fats)
like triglycerides are more common and are an important component in animal rations (e.g., vegetable oil and animal fats such as tallow or lard)
Simple lipids
are composed of a lipid plus a nonlipid molecule (e.g., protein)
Compound lipids
are a family of fatty acids that contain one or more double bonds between adjacent carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain
Unsaturated fatty acids
are the main players in lipid nutrition due to their diversity in structure, composition, and metabolizability
Fatty acids
is a trans fatty acid present in cow’s milk or other ruminant food like beef and is produced by rumen microbes during the biohydrogenation process
Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA)
are the most abundant steroid in the human diet
Sterols
is the best-known steroid and is the precursor of many substances such as vitamin D, bile acids, sex hormones, and corticosteroid hormones
Cholesterol
serve as energy reserves for the plant (seeds) or animal (fat depots)
Triglycerides
is the dispersion of lipids in small droplets
Emulsification
of unsaturated fatty acids is the second major transformation that dietary lipids undergo in the rumen
Biohydrogenation
are temporary compounds formed during the fat digestion and absorption process
Micelles and chylomicrons
for fat digestion is called bile salt recycling
reuse of bile salt
are temporary compounds that are formed during lipid absorption
Micelles
consist of an inner core of hydrophobic lipids surrounded by a surface layer of phospholipids, cholesterol, and outer proteins (apolipoprotein)
Lipoproteins
