What chemical reactions performed by the liver create sugars from noncarbohydrate sources such as fats and proteins?
The liver can perform gluconeogenesis, a process in which it converts non-carbohydrate sources such as fats and proteins into glucose. This involves a series of chemical reactions that help to maintain blood sugar levels when glucose from dietary sources is limited.
What types of food would test positive result for carbohydrates proteins fats?
Any food that has carbohydrate, protein, and fats can be shown positive for those food test. It is basically a chemical reaction that indicate the presence of food component by a specific color formation.
Is polypeptide chain a lipid carbohydrate protein or nucleic acid?
Neither, a carbohydrate is a sugar, proteins are amino acids, lipids are fats! Nucleotides are what make DNA and RNA! They are considered a monomer
What 2 macromolecules are used to store energy?
Every molecule can store. Most common one is ATP. It is a nucleotide.
How do you describe Lipids as structure?
Fats, Phospholipads, Stenroids, and Wax
How does the chemical structure of unsaturated fats differ from that of saturated fats, and what specific characteristic sets them apart in terms of their impact on health?
Unsaturated fats have double bonds in their chemical structure, while saturated fats do not. This difference affects their impact on health because unsaturated fats are generally considered healthier than saturated fats. Unsaturated fats can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease, while saturated fats can raise bad cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart disease.
What do the chemical structures of carbohydrates and fats have in common and how do they differ?
(mostly) composed of C, H and O
What three chemical elements always found in carbohydrate fats and protein?
They all have Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen in them. Proteins also have Nitrogen in them.
How do unsaturated fatty acids differ from saturated fatty acids in terms of their chemical structure and health effects?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their chemical structure, while saturated fatty acids do not. This difference affects their health effects, as unsaturated fats are generally considered healthier than saturated fats due to their ability to lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
How can you tell if fat is saturated?
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their chemical structure. They are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms. Because of their chemical structure, they have a solid consistency at room temperature.
Trans fats are considered even worse than saturated fats because trans fats are?
Trans fats have a different structure than saturated fats, specifically the chemical structure is more rigid, allowing them to be solids at room temperature and thus not easily broken down or digested in the body.
How do unsaturated fatty acids, which have double bonds, differ from saturated fatty acids in terms of their chemical structure and health implications?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their chemical structure, while saturated fatty acids do not. This difference affects their health implications, as unsaturated fats are generally considered healthier than saturated fats due to their ability to lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
How is each lipid different from each other?
Fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids are all types of lipids but differ in their structure and function. Fats and oils are composed of fatty acids and glycerol, with fats being solid at room temperature and oils being liquid. Phospholipids have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails, making them important components of cell membranes. Steroids have a four-ring structure and include hormones like estrogen and cholesterol.
What determines whether or not a substance is a fat or an oil?
The chemical composition of fats and oils are somewhat similar. They differ in appearance, as fats usually refer to solids and oils are liquids.
What is the chemical structure of trans fat and how does it impact human health?
Trans fats are unsaturated fats with a specific chemical structure that includes a trans double bond. This structure makes trans fats more stable and solid at room temperature. Consuming trans fats can increase levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and decrease levels of good cholesterol (HDL), leading to an increased risk of heart disease and other health issues.
Is honey a lipid?
No, honey is a carbohydrate. Lipids are fats.
What elements is found in proteins but not carbohydrate and fats?
Sulphur
