In what form are dietary lipids found?
Dietary lipids are found in various forms, including triglycerides (fats and oils), phospholipids (found in cell membranes), and cholesterol (important for cell structure and hormone synthesis). These lipids are typically found in food sources such as oils, meat, dairy products, and nuts.
The two main types of triglycerides are what?
The two main types of triglycerides are saturated and unsaturated. Saturated triglycerides have no double bonds between the fatty acids, while unsaturated triglycerides have one or more double bonds.
What alcohol is found in triglyceride?
Alcohol found in triglycerides is glycerol. Glycerol molecules are joined with fatty acids to form triglycerides through ester linkages.
What are the monomer units of trigylcerides?
Triglycerides have one glycerol head and three fatty acid tails.
What two units of degeers are found on all thermometers?
The two units of degrees found on all thermometers are Celsius and Fahrenheit. These units are used to measure temperature and provide a reference point for understanding how hot or cold something is.
Do triglycerides and sterols have very similar chemical structures?
Not exactly, sterols are a subgroup of steroids and contain ring structured carbons. Triglycerides on the other hand have a glycerol backbone attached to three fatty acid units. Both sterols and triglycerides are lipids.
What is a carbohydrate with two sugar units?
A disaccharide is a carbohydrate composed of two sugar units. Examples include sucrose (table sugar), lactose (found in milk), and maltose (found in grains).
What does it mean to have high triglycerides?
