What are two properties of glycerides?
Glycerides are esters composed of glycerol and fatty acids, commonly found in fats and oils. They serve as a major source of energy storage in the body and play a role in biological membranes.
3 classes of lipids?
sterols, glycerides, and sphingolipids
What is a crystalline form of a solid fat?
Shortening
Can lipase break down gelatin?
No, lipases are enzymes that digest lipids, i.e. glycerides or cholesterols, into smaller parts. Gelatin is composed mostly collagen, which is a protein. Thus, to break down collagen you would need a protease.
Is transport of chylomicrons is function of plasma?
Chylomicrons are large particles that transport dietary lipids from the intestines to tissues. They are not typically present in plasma, but instead travel through the lymphatic system before entering the bloodstream via the thoracic duct. Once in circulation, chylomicrons deliver triglycerides to tissues for energy or storage.
In the small intestines fatty acids cholesterol and glycerides combine in epithelial cells to form complex structures are called?
chylomicrons
What are two properties of glycerides?
Glycerides are esters composed of glycerol and fatty acids, commonly found in fats and oils. They serve as a major source of energy storage in the body and play a role in biological membranes.
What is the largest lipoprotein?
The largest lipoprotein is chylomicrons, which are responsible for transporting dietary triglycerides from the intestine to various tissues in the body. They are mainly composed of triglycerides, cholesterol, and proteins.
What are triglycerides and what kind of fatty acid is this?
Triglycerides are a type of fatty acid that aid in the bodily processes of the liver. They are composed of one glycerol and three fatty acids, hence the name, tri-glycerides.
What is chemical formula for mono-glycerides?
C13h9o11
What lipoprotein is largest in size?
Chylomicrons
3 classes of lipids?
sterols, glycerides, and sphingolipids
What is a crystalline form of a solid fat?

Chylomicrons are absorbed into what system?
lymphatic system
Can lipase break down gelatin?

Lipoprotein lipase will?
remove triglycerides from chylomicrons in the blood
Which nutrient type will be absorbed into the lateals?
Lipids as chylomicrons.
