The long-term health effects of eating partially hydrogenated vegetable oils concern some nutritionists because many unnatural fatty acids are produced. Consider the partial hydrogenation of linolenic acid by the addition of one or two equivalentsof hydrogen. Show how this partial hydrogenation can produce at least three different fatty acids we have not seen before.
Given that, in our bodies, when we metabolize molecules to derive energy from them, we are oxidizing these molecules, why is it that we get more energy from a gram of fat (essentially a hydrocarbon) than we get from a gram of sugar (a polyhydroxy aldehyde)?
Why do fats store about twice as much energy than carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates can be incorporated into polymers through dehydration reactions, while
fats cannot form polymers.
Fatty acid chains have more carbon-carbon bonds than carbohydrates.
Compared to carbohydrates, fatty acid chains have a higher ratio of bonds with high
potential energy to bonds with low potential energy.
Fat molecules are always larger than carbohydrate molecules.
Fats contain more polar groups than carbohydrates.

- Ethanol (CH3CH2OH) is the alcohol found in beverages. It is oxidized in the body to acetaldehyde by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase. Methanol (CH3OH), also known as wood alcohol, is converted to formaldehyde by the same enzyme. Acetaldehyde is toxic, but formaldehyde is far more toxic to humans, which is why the ingestion of relatively small amounts of methanol can cause blindness or death. One treatment for mild methanol poisoning is the administration of ethanol. Why might a doctor choose this treatment? A. Ethanol likely irreversibly binds to alcohol dehydrogenase which prevents the formation of formaldehyde. B. The doctor has given up on the patient and administers ethanol for sedation. C. Ethanol must act as a competitive inhibitor for the alcohol dehydrogenase and therefore slows the formation of formaldehyde. D. The ethanol is likely an uncompetitive inhibitor and binds to a site other than the active site of the enzyme.arrow_forward9.

- Fats are the predominant forms of a class of biological molecules called , which also includes fatty acids and steroids, among other molecules. These biomolecules readily dissolve in solvents such as hexane and chloroform. Because of their insolubility in water, fats and other biomolecules in this class are said to be Triacylglycerols, also known as triglycerides, are a storage form of fat found in adipose tissue that consist of glycerol bound These fats are categorized based on the bonding of the carbon atoms in the chain.
