Where is the Site where fibers may be metabolized to short-chain fatty acids?
Large intestine
What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
How do you separate amino acids from fatty acids?
Amino acids are soluble in water and fatty acids are not.
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
Fatty acids are metabolized by what pathway?
Beta-oxidation is the major pathway by which fatty acids are metabolized. However, there are other minor pathways for fatty acid metabolized. These include alpha-oxidation (for branched fatty acids) and omega-oxidation.
Fatty acids can be metabolized by entering?
glycolysis
Glucose amino acids and fatty acids can be metabolized within the cell to liberate?
CO2 CO2
Where is the Site where fibers may be metabolized to short-chain fatty acids?
Large intestine
Before fats can be metabolized in aerobic cellular respiration they must be converted to?
Fatty acids and glycerol.
What type of compound and bond is hydrolyzed by lipase?
I believe brown fat (commonly found in neonates) is metabolized by lipase into free fatty acids which are then hydrolyzed into glycerol and non estrified fatty acids.
In what form do lipids enter the cells of the body?
As fatty acids or oils
How is it that other nutrients can be metabolized to yield ATP?
Apart from glucose you have Fatty acids, Glycerol and Proteins, which enters the Creb's cycle to yeald ATP, after break down.
What is the most common building blocks of lipids?
Fatty acids and glycerol
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.
What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
