Why are unsaturated fatty acids better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell?
Unsaturated fatty acids are better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell. This is because unsaturated fats are more porous.
What are the good fats?
These are mono-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids. Examples: fats from nuts, seeds, seeweed, vegetables oils, etc.
What are the differences between saturated unsaturated mono saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Fats are a type of triglyceride. This is aglycerol ( H-CHOH-CHOH-CHOH-H ) molecule reacted with three fatty acids. ( R-COOH ) where R is a long chain carbon molecule. In this chain there can be single carbon carbon bonds or double carbon carbon bonds. A saturated fat is one where all bonds are single. A monounsaturated fat contains a single carbon carbon double bond. A polyunsaturated fat has more than one. If R is H-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CO-O-G it is a saturated fat. If it is H-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CO-O-G it is monounsaturated. If it is H-CH=CH-CH=CH-CO-O-G then it has two and therefore polyunsaturated. The G stands for glycerol (Sometimes glycerine) .
Are carboxylic acids are unsaturated or saturated compounds?
They are saturated compounds
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
trans fat
When polyunsaturated oils are hydrogenated?
trans fatty acids are produced?
Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
Which are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon bonds?
saturated fats for plato A
What is Hydrogenated Tallow Acid?
"Hydrogenated Tallow AcidS" is a mixture of saturated fatty acids which are produced from animal fat by hydrolysis and then treated by hydrogen at high temerature and pressure in a presence of special catalists.
Is safflower oil a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Not really. Both do contain saturated fats, but the primary components are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil, for example, is about three-quarters monounsaturated fat, with the remaining quarter divided about equally between saturated and polyunsaturated fat.
What What are made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
Which oil contains mostly polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Which oil contains mostly polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Why are saturated fatty acids better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell?
Unsaturated fatty acids are better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell. This is because unsaturated fats are more porous.
What Chemical process by which hydrogens are added to monounsaturated or polyunsaturated fatty acids to reduce the number of double bonds making the fats more saturated?
1. Hydrogenation
What are PUFA's?
PolyUnsaturated Fatty AcidS
What fatty acid has no double bonds between carbon atoms?
A saturated fat. Saturated with hydrogen at the bonding site freed up by lack of carbon-carbon double bonds. This fat packs tightly and is solid at room temperature.
What are the two essential fatty acids are?
Mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
