        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are the 3 types of classes of Eicosanoids?   1.Prostaglandins 2. Thrombaxanes 3. Leukotrienes  
🗑
What are Eicosanoids derived form?   Derived from Arachidonic Acid -a 20 carbon FA molecule  
🗑
Eicosonoids functiono by   working on neighboring cells-near by intercellular signals  
🗑
Phosphatidlyinosital   is an intracellular lipid signal molecule  
🗑
Steroids defined   Long distance intercellular messagers between tissues/more polar than sterols/has two polar groups/still need carrier protein to reach target tissue  
🗑
Steroids are derived   from cholesterol  
🗑
steroid examples   testosterone, estradial, cortisol, aldosterone, prednisolone and prednisone  
🗑
lipds can functionas   storage, structural, or signals  
🗑
lipids as storage molecules   for long term energy fats and oils  
🗑
what part of the fatty acid storage molecule is hydophilic and what part is hydrophopic   has a hydophilic head region and long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain  
🗑
the solubility of naturally occuring fatty acid storage molecules such as fats and oils show what kind of relationship between # of carbons, double bonds and melting point   as the number of Carbons increase the melting point also rises. the more carbons the less soluble it is in water and it goes from ordered to disorder  
🗑
the reason saturated fatty acids are solid at room temp   because no double bonding allows the FA's to line up next to each other  
🗑
we have oils at room temp because   double bonds can't line up next to each other  
🗑
the more double bonds you have the higher or lower the melting temp gets   the lower teh melting temp gets and the harder it is to solidify  
🗑
the difference between mon and poly unsaturated   poly is the pressence of one or more =bond and mono is only one =bond  
🗑
serum albumins   lipid in vetebrate that transport FA's in blood  
🗑
esters   most FA's are derivatized from this  
🗑
adipocytes function in vertebrates as   cells that store large amounts of TAG's  
🗑
what is the function fo Lipase   it is an enzyme that hydrolyzes TAG's to yield FA's so they can be digested  
🗑
what are some advantages of storing energy in TAG vs. polysaccharides   hydrophobic/not hydrated,insulation, energy density is 2x >  
🗑
most natural fatty acids in foods are mixtures of TAG's and FA's of varying length their melting temp are direct function of   their fatty acid compositiono  
🗑
the unsaturated fatty acid part of vegetable oils accounts for ___ state at room temp   liquid  
🗑
the saturated parts of fatty acids ____cease the melting point so butter is a soft solid at room temp   increase  
🗑
liquids oils which are better for you are converted into solid fats industrially by   hydrogenation to reduce double bonds or to convert the bonds into trans double bond  
🗑
triacylglycereols contain   three fatty acid molecules esterified to the three hydroxyl goups of glycerol they serve mainly as storage lipids  
🗑
waxes have _____ MP than that of triacylglycereols so they tend to be solids at room temp   higher  
🗑
waxes are composed of   FA + alcohol+ ester  
🗑
Waxes are hydro philic or phobic which allows it to repell water on plants and flies   hydrophobi  
🗑
what are the two structural membrance lipids to know   dlyerophospholipids and sphingolipids  
🗑
structural memebrane lipids have what two common "hanger molecule   glycerol and sphingosine  
🗑
glycerophospholipids   polar or charge head group and and polar alcohol groups in membrane  
🗑
sphingolipids   polar head group, hydrophobic group in membrane  
🗑
gycosphingolipids   polar part sticks out and functions as blood groups determinent  
🗑
if see picture of 4 fused ring on test know it is a   sterol  
🗑
sterols are structural lipids composed of   polar head, and hydrophobid alkyl side chain making them a amphipathic molecule  
🗑
what is the major sterol in animls   cholesterol  
🗑
does the polar head or the alkly side chain amrk the sterols as different from each other   side group  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
