Oleic Acid
A fatty acid breaks down in the human body and transform into a fat that is stored by the body. When the body cannot extract nutrients from something such as a fatty acid, it stores it in the body as fat.
No, folic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that is not stored in the body's fat cells.
Stearic acid is an essential saturated fat that can actually lower blood cholesterol in your body.
Yes, THC, the active compound in marijuana, can be stored in fat cells in the body.
Lipids(fat)
Fat is a fairly complicated compound: it is composed of a glycerin molecule with 3 fatty acid molecules attached. Each of the fatty acid molecules is composed of a carboxylic acid molecule and a hydrocarbon polymer molecule chain. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains can be of any length and either flexible or rigid. The hydrocarbon polymer molecule chains will likely be different in each of the 3 fatty acid molecules in a given fat molecule.
Fat is a compound.
Hydrolysis is the process of breaking down a compound with the action of water. The products of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of a fat are fatty acids and glycerol.
Saturated fat is a type of compound. It is composed of triglycerides containing saturated fatty acids, where each carbon atom in the fatty acid chain is bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
Gout is caused by too much uric acid in the body.
Research suggests that capsaicin, a compound found in chili peppers, may help increase metabolism and promote fat burning in the body.
If the organic compound contains carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, it is more likely to be a nucleic acid rather than a fat. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, contain these elements in their structure, whereas fats primarily consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
