Question
Answer
made up of a glycerol backbone and three fatty acids   Triglyceride  
🗑
long chains of carbon atoms bound to each other as well as to hydrogen atoms   Fatty acids  
🗑
consist of a glycerol backbone with two fatty acids and a compound that contains phosphate   Phospholipids  
🗑
fats and oils are two forms of lipid compounds that are   insoluble in water  
🗑
triglycerides can be classified by what three things   their chain length, their level of saturation, their shape  
🗑
a fatty acid chain has no carbons bonded together with a double bond   saturated fatty acid  
🗑
the fat molecule has more than one double bond, it contains even less hydrogen   polyunsaturated fatty acid  
🗑
lack of hydrogen at one part of the molecule   monounsaturated fatty acid  
🗑
the hydrogen atoms are attached on diagonally opposite sides of the double carbon bond   trans fatty acid  
🗑
has both hydrogen atoms located on the same side of the double bond   cis fatty acid  
🗑
the degree of hydrogenation can make an oil more or less saturated, resulting in a   partially hydrogenated oil (PHO)  
🗑
developed in the early 1900s to produce a type of cheap fat that could be stored in a solid form and will resist rancidity   hydrogenation  
🗑
when our body needs types of fatty acids having a double bond close to the omega end, it has to obtain them from the foods we eat.   essential fatty acids  
🗑
one omega-6 fatty acid essential to human health   linoleic acid  
🗑
the most common omega-3 in our diet   alpha-linolenic acid  
🗑
two omega-3 fatty acids found in fish   eicosapentaenoic acid. docosahexaenoic acid  
🗑
fatty acids that have a double bond six carbons from the omega end   omega-6 fatty acids  
🗑
fatty acids with a double bond three carbons from the omega end   omega-3 fatty acids  
🗑
what percent of energy we use comes from fat?   30-70%  
🗑
potent regulators of cellular function   eicosanoids  
🗑
what are critical components of every cell membrane?   phospholipids, cholesterol, fatty acids  
🗑
what provides flavor and texture to foods?   Fat  
🗑
the AMDR for fat is what percent of total energy intake?   20-35%  
🗑
added to processed or prepared foods to improve texture or taste which we may not be aware of, or that occur naturally   hidden fats  
🗑
of the 20 amino acids used by the human body, how many are considered essential?   9  
🗑
what are organs of the GI tract?   mouth, stomach, small intestine  
🗑
what are the accessory organs of the GI tract?   salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas  
🗑
what fats help transport the fat-soluble vitamins into the body and help regulate cell function and maintain membrane integrity?   Dietary fats  
🗑
the majority of lipid digestion takes place in what organ?   small intestine  
🗑
a spherical compound in which the fat clusters in the center and phospholipids   lipoprotein  
🗑
the specific lipoprotein produced in the enterocyte to transport fat from a meal   chylomicron  
🗑
what is the primary storage site for triglycerides and is the only body cell with significant fat-storage capacity?   Adipose cell  
🗑
how does the fat get out of the chylomicrons in the bloodstream and into body cells with the help of an enzyme   lipoprotein lipase  
🗑
this shows you how to calculate the amount of fat hidden in packaged foods   Nutrition label activity  
🗑
we can easily see what we're adding and approximately how much   visible fats  
🗑
you should consume what percent of energy from carbohydrates?   55-60%
