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
is the process of synthesizing lipids as a means of storing chemical energy
Lipogenesis
is a metabolic disorder when excessive quantities of ketone bodies are produced
Ketosis
is the location of fatty acid synthesis
cytosol
is the starting material for fatty acid synthesis
Acetyl CoA
are esters of fatty acids with alcohol, commonly referred to as triacylglycerols
Triglycerides
are examples of compound lipids and are used for lipid transport
Lipoproteins
Another term for triglycerides is?
triacylglycerol
is the most abundant steroid present in animal tissue and serves as a precursor for vitamin D, bile acids, and steroid hormones
Cholesterol
are acted upon by enzyme pancreatic lipase and converted into fatty acids, monoglycerides, and glycerol
Triglycerides
Too much unsaturated fatty acids can be toxic to rumen microbes
biohydrogenation
is the part of the small intestine where fatty acids are absorbed
jejunum
emulsifies the fat, and pancreatic lipase hydrolyzes them to release fatty acids and glycerol
Bile salt
is also known as bad cholesterol, which transports cholesterol to tissues
Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)
also known as good cholesterol and is responsible for the reverse transport or removal of cholesterol from tissues
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is
Part of cell where Fatty acids are oxidized by converting them to acetyl CoA.
mitochondria
