Question
Answer
Fats   Are Lipids. (fats are a subgroup of lipids called triglycerides)  
🗑
Function of fats   storage of energy, supply essential nutrients, cushioning for organs, insulation & add flavor. (serve both structural and metabolic functions.)  
🗑
Enzyme of fats   lipase (produced in the pancreas)  
🗑
edible animal fats   lard (pig fat), fish oil, and butter  
🗑
edible plant fats   peanut, soy bean, sunflower, sesame, coconut, olive, and vegetable oils. (Margarine and vegetable shortening)  
🗑
saturated fats (bonds)   have no double bonds and are fully saturated with hydrogen. (Heavy & dense. solid at room temperature)  
🗑
edible saturated fats   dairy products. (eggs, cream, butter and cheese) (Also fatty meat, coconut oil, cottonseed oil, palm kernel oil, chocolate)  
🗑
saturated fatty acid is generally higher in..?   smokers, alcohol drinkers and obese people  
🗑
Unsaturated fat (bonds)   has one or more double bonds. (Available bonds, less dense & less heavy. liquid at room temperature)  
🗑
edible unsaturated fats   avocado, nuts, and vegetable oils. (canola, and olive oils)  
🗑
Antioxidants can protect unsaturated fat from ..?   Cell membrane damage. (lipid peroxidation = oxidative a degradation of lipids.)  
🗑
monounsaturated fat   contains one double bond  
🗑
polyunsaturated fat   contains more than one double bond.  
🗑
Fats (chemical/calories)   made up of Carbon, Oxygen & Hydrogen. Yields 9cal/g  
🗑
Cholesterol   A sterol (made by the liver)  
🗑
Fatty Acids   End result of fat digestion (simple lipids)  
🗑
Visible fat   seen with naked eye. (Ex. bacon, meat etc.)  
🗑
Invisible fat   Not seen. (Ex. Milk, cheese, nuts, avocados)  
🗑
Triglycerides   Are made up of One glycerol and Three fatty acids.  
🗑
Lipoprotein   contains both proteins and lipids. (fats are not soluble in water so it attaches to a protein to enter cells)  
🗑
fat-soluble vitamins   vitamins A, D, E and K. (stored in the liver and fatty tissues.)  
🗑
lipase   a (hormone-sensitive) enzyme that breakdown fats. (Into fatty acids & glycerol)  
🗑
linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid)   polyunsaturated fatty acids(cannot be made by our body)  
🗑
alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid)   polyunsaturated fatty acids(cannot be made by our body)  
🗑
Food source for linoleic acid.   Most vegetable oils. (safflower, sunflower, and corn oils)  
🗑
Food source for (alpha) linolenic acid.   green leaves of plants, and in selected seeds, nuts, fish oil and legumes  
🗑
Chyle   product of fat digestion. (absorbed into Lymphatic System)  
🗑
Chyme   partially digested food. (leaving stomach, entering small intestine)  
🗑
Emulsify   breaking up fat into smaller particles.  
🗑
Lacteal   intestinal lymphatics. (absorbs chyle)  
🗑
HDL (good cholesterol)   high density lipoprotein. (enables fats to be carried in the blood stream to the liver for removal)  
🗑
LDL (bad cholesterol)   low density lipoprotein. (artery clogging, transports cholesterol and triglycerides from the liver to peripheral tissues)  
🗑
high levels of LDL cholesterol   can lead to cardiovascular disease.  
🗑
Gout   A type of arthritis.(caused by an elevated level of uric acid in the blood, usually presents in the feet)  
🗑
Hydrogenation   is the chemical reaction that results from the addition of hydrogen  
🗑
Gallbladder   Storage unit for bile.  
🗑
Bile   produced by the liver, aids in digestion of lipids in the small intestine.  
🗑
serum cholesterol   amount of cholesterol found in the blood  
🗑
Cholesterol (controlled by)   diet, heredity, emotional stress, exercise  
🗑
High cholesterol   Total Above 240 mg/dl  
🗑
Borderline high cholesterol   Total 200-239 mg/dl  
🗑
Desirable level of cholesterol   Total Below 200 mg/dl  
🗑
nonessential fatty acids   can be made by the body (The human body can produce all but two of the fatty acids it needs.)  
🗑
essential fatty acids   linoleic and linolenic acid. (Obtained only through diet)  
🗑
Lipids   are Fats & cholesterol.  
🗑
