Explain augusto's use of paper clips to represent good and bad fatty acids What did his dream help him understand?

Augusto used paper clips to represent good fatty acids by straightening them and bad fatty acids by bending them. In his dream, he realized the importance of balanced fatty acids for optimal health and that consuming a variety of good fats is essential for overall well-being.


What are components of fats?

Fats are composed of fatty acids, which are chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms. They also contain glycerol, a type of alcohol that connects the fatty acids together to form triglycerides. Different types of fats can vary in the length and saturation of their fatty acid chains.


What type of organisms make saturated fatty acids?

This has a good list of at least a few things that have saturated fatty acids. In addition to animals, there are plants that make saturated fats (eg. coconuts, cashews, cacao beans, and soybeans).


In the triglyceride molecule shown below what molecule are the fatty acids attached to?

Glycerol


Why are cis fatty acids rearranged to trans fatty acids in the process of partial hydrogenation?

During partial hydrogenation, cis fatty acids are rearranged to trans fatty acids because of the difference in the spatial orientation of hydrogen atoms on the carbon chain. The catalyst used in the process favors the alignment of hydrogen atoms on opposite sides of the carbon chain, leading to the formation of trans double bonds. This process changes the structure of the fatty acids from a cis to a trans configuration.

Are saturated fatty acid good for the body?

No, unsaturated fatty acids are good for body. (PUFA is every better, poly unsaturated fatty acids)


How many types of fatty acids are found in human body?

There are two main types of fatty acids found in the human body: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids can be further classified into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.


Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?

There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.


What are unsaturated fatty acids?

Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.


Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?

Hydrogenated fatty acids.


Are fatty acids polar or nonpolar?

Fatty acids are nonpolar.


What are good sources of essential fatty acids?

There are many great foods that are rich in essential fatty acids. These foods include fish, such as salmon, and a variety of nuts.

What are the two essential fatty acids are?

Mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids.


Why is beef fat a solid at room temperature?

This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.


What is the difference between fatty acids and fats?

Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. Fats are made up of a combination of different fatty acids. Fatty acids are the individual molecules that make up fats.


What is contains carbon?
