Is your body made up of molecules?

Yes, the human body is made up of molecules. Molecules are the building blocks of all matter, including the various components of our bodies such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. These molecules come together to form cells, tissues, and organs, which make up the structure and function of our bodies.

A normal human body cell has a total of 46 chromosomes. 23 chromosomes come from the mother and 23 chromosomes come from the father, totaling to 46 chromosomes in total.


Why is a diet containing no lipids unhealthy?

You cannot survive without lipids. If you were to live on a diet with no lipids whatsoever, your body would soon struggle to maintain itself. All cell membranes are made from lipids, as are the internal compartment membranes. These membranes are essential for almost all biological functions. Linoleic acid is an example of a lipid that is found in these membranes that your body cannot produce and must come from your diet. Linoleic acid, and other omega-6 fatty acids, were once considered to be vitamins themselves. Some lipids are also required for effective absorption of other dietary vitamins.


Can the absorption of lipids be prevented?

I am going to answer this question based on what I believe the intention may be, and that is to loose weight.First of all, lipids are essential chemicals that are involved in all natural and healthy body processes. Limiting the absorption of lipids could have devastating effects on human health since most processes in the body are controlled by hormones, many of which contain lipids.Lipids are in the group of chemicals called fats. You may want to consider which sources of fats you have in your diet, but fats are essential to good health. The less healthy fats/lipids come from animal sources. The healthier ones are from plants.Some of my favorites are extra virgin olive oil that is 'first cold pressed'. Other good fats/lipids/oils are coconut, canola, peanut, and grape seed.If you consider that every cell in your body has a membrane around it, and the name of the membrane is called the phospholipid bilayer, that should tell you how important fats are in our diet, especially good fats, like the unsaturated ones I mentioned.


How are unsaturated fatty acids related to lipids?

Not all lipids are saturated. Unsaturated lipids come in liquid form and are not from animals. Saturated lipids are in solid form and do usually come from organisms other than plants such as animals.

Why the human membrane made out of lipids?

The human cell membranes are made out of lipids because lipids propel water, and if it weren't made out of liquids, every time we come in contact with water we would either shrink or grow in big amounts.

Is there a relationship between fat and calories?

Yes. In the human body, when 3,500 calories go unused for 3 days, they are converted into fat molecules to be stored for future energy use. Calories also come from foods and drinks that we consume. Some of those foods are fats (molecularly, they are known as lipids due to their structure).
