Unsaturated fats contain one or more double bonds in the fatty acid chain. these differ from saturated fats by possessing few hydrogen atoms bonded to their carbon chains. Doctors want us to eat more unsaturated fats because these fats are good for heart i.e protecting us from different heart diseases.
Why do saturated fats have higher melting points than unsaturated fats? Saturated fats stack better than unsaturated fats and therefore have more dispersion forces between them. Saturated fats stack better than unsaturated fats and therefore have fewer dispersion forces between them. Unsaturated fats stack better than saturated fats and therefore have more dispersion forces between them. Unsaturated fats stack better than saturated fats and therefore have fewer dispersion forces between them.
Which of the statements are true? Fats that contain more unsaturated fatty acid residues than saturated fatty acid residues are more likely to be liquid at room temperature. Tracleucerols (triglycerides) always contain three identical fatty acids. Unsaturated fats have higher melting points than saturated fats. Triacylglycerols (triglycerides) are composed of fatty acid residues and glycerol. Unsaturated fats are more likely than saturated fats to be liquid at room temperature.
Define saturated and unsaturated fats. Give examples of each fat. Then discuss why it is important to maintain normal blood levels of HDL, LDL. Discuss ideas of how to manage a patient who has high LDL, include possible medications.
Which food provides the highest calorie intake? Why? Which is the best source of unsaturated fats? Why? Which food is highest in starch? Which food is the highest in calcium? Which food contains the most sugar? Were you surprised by any of the findings?
Which of the followining is NOT true of unsaturated fats? oleic acid is an example more liquid at room temperature than saturated fatty acids contain no double bonds contain at least one double bond most naturally occuring are "bent" (cis)
1.What are trans fats and how do they differ from other kinds of fats? 2. What are the major sources of artificial trans fats in our diet today? What was the first manufactured food product to contain artificial trans fats? Why did the popularity of products containing artificial trans fats grow in the 1950s-1980s? Why did Canada and other countries recently ban these substances, and why does one of doctors interviewed in that occasion call them “a real tragic story...
Qualcomm is a US company. Hence, why do the Europeans and China want to fine Qualcomm? Should US companies be under the umbrella of US authorities?
Lipids Describe the building-block molecules, structure, and biological importance of fats, phospholipids, and steroids. Why are lipids classed together? Do lipids have monomers? Distinguish between saturated and unsaturated fats. Distinguish between cis and trans fat molecules. What are some of the health risks associated with trans fats? Describe how phospholipids orient to form membranes. Which part of a phospholipid is hydrophobic? Which part is hydrophilic? What are the three classes of lipids? List two important biological functions of a steroid....
The USDA food patterns encourage consumers to eat more vegetabls, fruits, whole grains, seafood, mill and milk products. this is easy enough to do if one includes these foods in the diet. Harder to follow is the recommendation to decrease sodium, saturated fat, trans fat, refined grains and foods and beverages with solid fats and added sugar. Why is the latter recommendation so hard to achieve in the American diet?
1.Do countries want to have an even balance of trade? Why or why not? ______________________ If not, which do they want more of (imports or exports)? Why?
