Interpreting Data Trans fats are a form of dietary fat that can have significant health consequences. The graph below represents data from a 2004 study that compared the amount of trans fats found in adipose tissue (body fat) of 79 heart attack patients and 167 people who did not have a heart attack. Write a one-sentence summary of the results presented in the graph.
Data from: P. M. Clifton et al., Trans fatty acids in adipose tissue and the food supply are associated with myocardial infarction. Journal of Nutrition 134: 874β879 (2004).

- By integrating all the relevant concepts from cellular energetics, explain the aphorism "Fats burn in the flames of carbohydratesβ Please answer in at least 5 sentences and include references if necessary. Helping tags: Biology, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Cellular Energeticsarrow_forwardPart A: Explain solubility of vitamins Food additive E307 (alpha-tocopherol, vit. E), and ascorbic acid (vit. C) are essential nutrients in human diet due to their antioxidant properties. They have very different solubilities. In contrast to vit. A, vit. E is insoluble in water. It is recommended that foods rich in vitamin E be taken with fatty ingredients (think salad dressing etc). β’ Draw the structures of both vitamins and explain their different solubilities in water. β’ Draw the picture illustrating solvation of vit. C in water and describe intermolecular interactions that facilitate this process. What type of intermolecular interactions help vitamin E be soluble in oils (fatty acids such as linoleic acid)? Part B: Explain observed boiling point The two molecules shown in Fig. 1 are constitutional isomers but have drastically different boiling point. Using a drawing and no more than 5 sentences explain how why compound B (butyramide) has higher boiling point.

- The FMO3 enzyme has an important physiological function in people. State the normal substrate of FMO3 in people and describe a genetic polymorphism that can reduce the activity of this enzyme. Describe the consequence to people with the reduced FMO3 activity. Give at least one reference from the primary literature (i.e. a scientific journal) to support your answer.arrow_forwardLingual lipase is an enzyme that is secreted from glands in the oral cavity located near to the tongue (pH=~6.7). This enzyme is specialized to digest triglyceride molecules in the mouth however it is responsible for almost none of the digestion of dietary fat. Food spends only a very brief period of time in the mouth before it is swallowed. The enzyme together with the food then reaches the stomach where the pH is ~2. Considering what you know about tertiary structure, explain using specific examples why this enzyme is not able to participate in lipid digestion in the body.arrow_forwardState Two points to support the statement below, using adequate and sufficient information to clearly explains these points mentioned. Water-soluble vitamins are more biochemically useful than fat-soluble vitamins.arrow_forward
- GenAlex Medical, a leading manufacturer of medical laboratory equipment, is designing a new automated system that can detect normal levels of dissolved glucose (70. to 105 mg/dL), using a blood sample that is as small as 5.0 mL. Calculate the minimum mass in milligrams of glucose that the new system must be able to detect. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardHello, please help me with the following 3 questions, thank you so much.Β Refer to the table and answer the following questions.Β β’ Calculate the percentage of the total calories per serving that come from total fat.β’ Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, what percent of the percent daily value for total fat would be consumed per serving? Calculate the percent if the whole container was consumed.β’ Based on what you know about trans fats, do you think there are hydrogenated oils in this product? Explain.arrow_forwardTrue or False: a. A polysaccharide formed from beta glycosidic linkages will be used as an energy storage molecule in animals. b. The scientificΒ process can be influenced by peer review, consumer input, and developing technology c. The small molecules that control proteins by allosteric regulation do so binding to the active site.arrow_forward
