95% of the fat we eat is in the form of? | Triglycerides |
Molecule consisting of 3 fatty acids attached to a 3-carbon glycerol backbone (aka glycerol+fatty acid= ?) | Triglyceride |
Long chains of carbon atoms bound to each other as well as hydrogen atoms (contain carboxyl group at end of their chain) | Fatty acids |
The backbone of a triglyceride molecule, is an alcohol composed of 3 carbon atoms | Glycerol |
Form in which most our body fat is stored? | Triglyceride/Adipose tissue (adip- means fat) |
Found in limited # of foods: egg yolks, liver, peanuts, soybeans, and some processed foods | Phospholipids |

The body uses cholesterol to synthesize what? | sex hormones (estrogen,andogen, progesterone); bile; adrenal hormones; and vitamin d |
What fatty acid is generally solid at room temp? | Saturated |
Triglycerides are classified by 3 factors | 1. Chain length(# carbons in ea. fatty acid) 2. Level of saturation (how much hydrogen H; is attached to each carbon atom in the fatty acid chain) 3. Shape (how they are commercially processed) |
Fatty acid chain lengths | short (<6 carbons); med (6-12 carbons); long (>14 carbons) **short/med are digested + absorbed quicker |
A fatty acid chain with NO CARBONS BONDED together w/a double bond (solid at room temp) | Saturated Fatty Acid (SFA) ** every carbon atom in the chain is SATURATED w/hydrogen** |
Examples of food HIGH in SATURATED FATTY ACIDS | coconut oil/ palm oil/ palm kernel oil, butter, cream, whole milk, lard and beef |
A fatty acid that has two carbons in the chain bound to each other with one double bond **lacks hydrogen at one part of the molecule** (liquid at room temp) | MONOUNSATURATED FATTY ACID (MUFA) |
Fatty acid chain with 2 sides carbon and 2 sides hydrogen | saturated fatty acid |
Fatty acid with a carbon instead of a hydrogen | unsaturated acid |
Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) | A fatty acid that has more than one double bond in the chain |
Examples of food high in MUFA | olive oil, canola oil, cashew nuts |
Animal-based foods high in saturated fats | 40-60% of their energy from saturated fats |
Plant-based foods high in unsaturated fats | 80-90% energy from mono and poly unsaturated fats |
Examples of food high in PUFA | Canola, corn and safflower |

Diets high in plant foods are lower in saturated fat and are healthier then__________ | diets high in animal products |
Unsaturated fat is best for you and has a KINK along their length | PUFA (walnuts, tuna, sesame oil)** Kink keeps it liquid form at room temp** |
Hydrogenation is | The process of adding hydrogen to unsaturated fatty acids making them more saturated and thereby more solid at room temp |
