Unlike saturated fatty acids, the tails of unsaturated fatty acids incorporate one or more _______. a. phosphate groups b. glycerols c. double bonds d. single bonds
Trans-fatty acids are synthetic forms of fatty acids made from altered unsaturated fatty acids. Trans-fatty acids are denser, solid at room temperature, and store more energy in the same unit of volume than unsaturated fatty acids. The production of trans-fatty acids involves the reorientation of one of the hydrogen atoms attached to a double-bonded car- bon atom, as illustrated in the figure below. unsaturated fatty acid OHHHHH HOC CCCC-c II I I HHHH trans-fatty acid |||| Molecular model of an unsaturated and trans-fatty acid Based on the structures shown above, H -C-C-C-C-C-H HHHHH TTTTT !!!!!

Lipoproteins transport dietary fats through the bloodstream and deliver them to the cells. Cholesterol (below) is mainly transported as a cholesterol ester via the condensation reaction of cholesterol and a free fatty acid. Draw the structure of the cholesterol ester produced from the condensation of cholesterol and stearic acid (structures here Ł). НО םבי י
Select the correct statement about unsaturated fatty acids: 1. Unsaturated fatty acids have extra nitrogen atoms in their hydrophobic tails compared to saturated fatty acids 2. Unsaturated fatty acids have multiply bonded carbons in their hydrophobic tails compared to saturated fatty acids which have only single bonded carbons 3. Unsaturated fatty acids have no bends in their hydrophilic fatty acid tails 4. Unsaturated fatty acids have relatively more hydrogen atoms in their hydrophobic tails compared to saturated fatty acids
Fatty acids: |A Contain an hydrophilic carboxylic func- tion and an hydrophobic carbon chain; B Fatty acids are always mono-unsaturated or poly-unsaturated; C Most fatty acids contain a linear hydrocar- bon chain with an odd number of carbon atoms; D Trans-fatty acids are more abundant than cis-fatty acids and are good for human health. E Trans-unsaturated fatty acids are more nu- merous than cis-unsaturated fatty acids;

Which of the following statements is/are true? 1. Sphingolipids all have a palmitate derivative that is ester-linked to the sphingosine backbone. 2. The addition of cholesterol will always lead to an increase in the rigidity of a lipid bilayer. 3. Glycolipids may have a sphingosine or a glycerol backbone to which a sugar moiety is attached. 4. All lipid molecules are characterized by the presence of a carboxylic acid functional group. O 1 and 2 O 1 only O 2 and 3 O 3 only O 1,3, and 4
All of the following pairs are well-match, except one: O Oleic fatty acid is : unsaturated fatty acids O Saturated fatty acids : solid at room tempreture Ceramide : simplest glycerolipid O TGs: stored in adipose tissue
Which of the following statements is incorrect? The rigidity of a saturated fatty acid is based on the strong bonding between sp3-hybridized carbon chains. Glycerophospholipids are the most abundant lipids in cellular membranes. In delta notation of fatty acid nomenclature, the numbering starts at the α-carbon from the carboxylic acid end. Hormones, such as testosterone, estradiol and progesterone are examples of steroidal lipids.
