Vocabulary Terminology for Chapter 4 in Friendly Biology
Question or Term | Answer or Definition |
---|---|
Lipids, like carbohydrates, are formed from 3 elements and they are | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen |
The two main portions of a lipid are | glycerol portion & the fatty acid portion |
glycerol portion consists of | 3 carbon atoms each with an attached Oxygen atom and the necessary hydrogen atoms to make carbon's desired 4 bonds |
Fatty Acid chains consists of | carbon atoms raging from 4-24 carbons in length |
There are three classifications of lipids based on the number of fatty acid chains present and they are | monoglyceride, diglyceride, triglyceride |
At room temperature, saturated fatty acids (originate from animal source) are | solid |
At room temperature, unsaturated fatty acids (originate from plant source) are | liquid |
saturated fatty acids have what kind of bond present in the fatty acid chain | only single carbon bonds |
Unsaturated fatty acids have what kind of band present in the fatty acid chain | double bond |
Hydro | water |
phobic | resisting or fearing |
philic | attracting or loving |
hydrophilic | water soluble = miscible |
hydrophobic = Lipids | water insoluble = immiscible |
Lipids can be converted into fuel (glucose) for living things through the work of | enzymes |
1 cup of lipid is equal to how many cups of carbohydrate or glucose | 9 |
enzymes that breaks down lipids | lipases |
Homo | same |
genize | to make or create; generate |
homogenize | to make the same throughout |
Milk that has had all its fat content removed is known as | 0% or skim |
Milk straight from the cow is known as | Raw whole milk 3-6% |
Milk that has all its fat content is known as | whole milk or 3-6% |
Homogenization | Process whereby the fat portion of the milk (cream) is made to remain equally distributed throughout the watery portion of the milk |
What is made from the fat or lipid portion of milk | Butter |
water portion of milk after the fat content has been removed is known | Buttermilk |
