Chapter 17 Lipids

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
Types of lipids   fatty acids and steriods  
🗑
types of steroids   cholesterol, bile salts, steroid hormones  
🗑
essential fatty acids   linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid  
🗑
what is an essential fatty acid?   Polyunsaturated fatty acids that the body cannot synthesize enough of, on its own.  
🗑
Boiling point of saturated fatty acids   Higher because the fatty acids fit close together in a regular pattern  
🗑
Boiling point of monounsaturated fatty acids...   Lower because the fatty acids have a kink (cis bond) that makes them not fit as closely together.  
🗑
Boiling point of polyunsaturated fatty acids...   Lowest because the fatty acids have multiple kinks (cis bonds) that make them not fit as closely together.  
🗑
Solubility of saturated fatty acids...   Least soluble because the chains fit together very closely (solids at room temperature)  
🗑
Solubility of monounsaturated fatty acids...   More soluble because the chains fit less closely together due to one double bond (liquids at room temperature)  
🗑
Solubility of polyunsaturated fatty acids...   Most soluble because the chains don't fit very closely together at all due to multiple double bonds (liquids at room temperature)  
🗑
Prostaglandins (Eicosaniods)   Hormone-like substances Formed from arachidonic acid Create inflammation and pain, raise or lower blood pressure, stimulate contraction or relaxation of the uterus during child birth  
🗑
Prostaglandin E   Has a ketone group on carbon 9, and a hydroxyl group on carbon 11  
🗑
Prostaglandin F   Has 2 hydroxyl groups... one on carbon 9 the other on carbon 11  
🗑
Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)   Block production of prostaglandins from arachidonic acid decreasing pain, fever, and inflammation  
🗑
Waxes   ester of a saturated fatty acid and long-chain alcohol (each containing 14-30 carbons) Used for waterproofing  
🗑
Triacylglycerol Function   They are the major form of energy storage for animals  
🗑
Fat   A triacylglycerol that is solid at room temperature Usually comes from animal sources  
🗑
Oil   A triacylglycerol that is usually liquid at room temperature. Obtained from plant sources  
🗑
Catalyst for hydrogenation   Nickel catalyst  
🗑
Oxidation of fats and oils produces...   Short-chain fatty acids and aldehydes  
🗑
Hydrolysis of triacylglycerols produces...   Glycerol and 3 fatty acids  
🗑
Catalyst of hydrolysis   HCl, H2SO4, and lipases  
🗑
Saponification   fat or oil + strong base ==> glycerol +salts of fatty acids (soaps)  
🗑
When NaOH is used in saponification...   A solid soap is produced  
🗑
When KOH or polyunsaturated oils are used in saponification...   A softer, liquid soap is produced  
🗑
Diester   When a phosphoric acid forms an ester bond between itself and 2 hydroxyl groups of alcohols  
🗑
Lecithins   Glycerophopholipids containing choline  
🗑
Cephalins   Glycerophospholipids containing ethanolamine  
🗑
Glycerophospholipids are found in...   Brain and nerve tissues, egg yolks, wheat germ, and yeast Most abundant lipids in cell membranes  
🗑
Polar "head" (hydrophillic)   Ionized amine and phosphate portion  
🗑
Nonpolar "tails" (hydrophobic)   Two fatty acids attached to glycerol  
🗑
Ceramide   The -NH2 group of sphingosine is attached by an amide link to a fatty acid  
🗑
Sphingomyelins   The -OH of a ceramide forms a phosphate ester of choline  
🗑
Function of sphingomyelins   To increase the speed of nerve impulses and to insulate and protect the nerve cells Found in the white matter of myelin sheaths  
🗑
Cerebroside   Sphingolipids that have one monosaccharide forming a B-glycosidic bond with the -OH of the ceramide  
🗑
Function of cerebrosides   Present primarily in brain and myelin sheath Important to cellular recognition and tissue immunity on the surface of cell membranes  
🗑
Ganglioside   A cerebroside that contains two to seven monosaccharides  
🗑
Function of ganglioside   Found in neurons of the brain and on the surface of cell membranes where they act as receptors for hormones, viruses, and certain drugs  
🗑
Steroids   Compounds containing the steroid nucleus (3 cyclohexane rings and rings and one cyclopentane ring)  
🗑
Cholesterol   Is a sterol because it contains an oxygen atom as a hydroxy group on carbon 3.  
🗑
The liver synthesizes cholesterol from...   Fats, carbohydrates, and proteins There is no cholesterol in vegetable and plant products  
🗑
Bile Salts   Synthesized in the liver from cholesterol and stored in the gallbladder  
🗑
Function of bile salts   Breaking apart and emulsifying large globules of fat. Form larger surface areas for digestive enzymes.  
🗑
Lipoproteins   Spherical particles with an outer surface of polar proteins and glycerophospholipids that surround hundreds of nonpolar molecules of triacylglycerols and cholesteryl esters  
🗑
Function of lipoproteins   Form water-soluble complexes that can transport lipids through the blood stream.  
🗑
Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) Cylomicrons   Transport triacylglycerols, glycerophospholipids, and cholesterol to tissues for storage or to muscles for energy.  
🗑
Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) "Bad Cholesterol"   Transport cholesterol to tissues to be used for the synthesis of cell membranes, steroid hormones, and bile salts. When levels get high LDLs deposit cholesterol in arteries causing plaque build-up.  
🗑
High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) "Good Cholesterol"   Remove excess cholesterol from tissues and carry it to the liver where it's eliminated. Excess HDL is carried to the liver and eliminated.  
🗑
Adrenal Corticosteroids   Aldosterone, Cortisone, Prednisone  
🗑
Steroid Hormones   Testosterone, Androsterone, Estrogen, Progeterone  
🗑
Most of the glycerophopholipids in the lipid bilayer contain unsaturated fatty acids...   There are kinks because of the cis bonds, making the glycerophospholipids not fit very closely together making cell membranes fluid-like  
🗑
Function of cholesterol in cell membranes...   Provide structure and decrease flexibility  
🗑
Simple Diffusion   Ions and molecules go from high concentration to low concentration. Examples... O2, H2O, urea  
🗑
Facilitated Diffusion   Ions and molecules use integral proteins to go from high concentration to low concentration. Used for speed. Examples... Cl-, glucose  
🗑
Active Transport   Ions and molecules go from low concentration to high concentration. Requires energy (ATP). Examples... Na+, K+, Ca++  
🗑
Estrogen   Aids in female sexual characteristics  
🗑
Testosterone   Aids in male sexual characteristics  
🗑
Progesterone   Prepares the uterus for a fertilized egg  
🗑
Norethindrone   Birth control pill  
🗑
Recommended cholesterol   Total ==> 200mg/dL. LDL ==> less than 130mg/dL. HDL==> greater than 40mg/dL.  
🗑
Omega 6 is found in...   Vegetables  
🗑
Omega 3 is found in...   Fish  
🗑
Functions of lipids   Structure, energy storage, chemical signals, protection, vitamins and pigments  
🗑
