Dietary Forms with Type Description
1-Fatty Acid
Hydrocarbon chain with carboxylic acid
2-Saturated
· Has maximum number of hydrogens on the carbon chain
· Solid at room temperature
· High melting point
· Found in meats, poultry, and dairy foods; coconut and palm oils
3-Trans
· Product of hydrogenation which increases the saturation of fatty acids within oils and converts natural cis to trans configuration
· Consist of straighter chains than natural unsaturated fatty acids
· Industrial process that chemically transforms a low melting point oil into a solid fat with a higher melting point to enhance product taste, stability and shelf life.
· Found in commercially fried foods, commercial baked goods and snacks, margarine, and vegetable shortenings
4-Monounsaturated
· Contain one double bond
· Liquid at room temperature.
· Found in olive, peanut and canola oils; nuts, avocados, and olives.
5-Polyunsaturated
· Contain two or more double bonds
· Liquid at room temperature.
· Found in corn, soybean, safflower and sunflower seed oils, and fish.
· w (omega) 3 FATTY ACIDS:
1) Linolenic acid (18:3w3)
2) Eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5w3)
3) Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6w3)
· w (omega) 6 FATTY ACIDS
1) Linoleic acid (18:2w6)
2) Arachidonic fatty acid (20:4w6)
· ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (must be obtained from the diet)
1) Linoleic acid (18:2w6)
2) Linolenic acid (18:3w3)
6-Triglycerides
· Neutral esters of glycerol and fatty acids
· Most contain different types of fatty acids (mixed)
· Most common form of dietary fats and oils
The Golgi apparatus helps transport lipids by receiving them from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and modifying them into different types of lipids. Lipids are packaged into vesicles in the Golgi and can be sent to different parts of the cell or outside the cell via exocytosis.
The four major types of biomolecules in living things are carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Carbohydrates serve as a source of energy, lipids are involved in energy storage and cell membrane structure, proteins are responsible for numerous functions in cells, and nucleic acids store and transfer genetic information.
Nonpolar organic molecules are lipids...including tryglycerides, phospholipids, steroids, waxes, and pigments.
The three main types of lipids are triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols. Triglycerides are the most common form of dietary fat and function as a major energy source. Phospholipids are important components of cell membranes. Sterols, such as cholesterol, play roles in cell structure and as precursors for hormones.
marcromolecules
There are six types of lipids: Fatty Acids Unsaturated Saturated Monosaturated Polysaturated Triglycerides
Fats, oils, and waxes are the three types of lipids.
Triglycerides, Phospholipids and Steroinds.
marcromolecules
The three of types of Lipids are: 1. True Fats 2. Phospholipids 3. Steroids

Lipids include oils, fats, and waxes.
Carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins.
False. Glycerol is not a macromolecule itself, but a component of lipids. The four major types of macromolecules are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Lipid is a term that is used to describe all types of fats. Cholesterol's structure falls under the category of lipids.
Fats and oils are two types of lipids. Lipids are organic compounds that are insoluble in water and play various roles in the body, such as providing energy, insulating organs, and serving as structural components of cell membranes.
