- What is beta oxidation of fatty acids and it's steps?arrow_forwardWhich of the following are saponifiable lipids? a) triacylglycerols; f) stepoids; b) prostaglandins; g) glycolipids; c) waxes; h) terpenes; d) leukotrienes; i) phosphoglycerides; e) sphyngolipids; k) plasmalogens? Write the equation showing triacylglycerol formation from 1 mol of glycerol and 1 mol each of oleic, stearic and palmitic acids. Write the equation for the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of the triacylglycerol: Write the equation for the saponification of the triacylglycerol: Write the equation for the hydrogenation of the triacylglycerol: Write the structure of the phosphoglyceride formed from 1 mol each of glycerol, stearic and palmitic acids, phosphoric acid, and choline . Show the formation of the sphingolipid containing oleic acid, phosphoric acid,…arrow_forwardFatty acids and triglycerides are an important source of nutrition and a dense form of stored energy. Digestion of fats yields more energy per gram than digestion of carbohydrates. Each turn on the B-oxidation spiral results in the formation of a new acetyl COA molecule. This molecule can then be used to generate more energy in A) fatty acid synthesis B) ketolysis C) glycolysis D) tricarboxylic acid cycle E) oxidative phosphorylationarrow_forward
- Classify the molecule shown according to the location of its carbonyl group and the number of carbon atoms. CHO is the same as HC3D0 CHO -C-OH HO-C-H HO-C-H CH, OH A) aldotriose B) aldotetrose C) aldopentose D) ketotriose E) ketotetrosearrow_forwardStearic acid is the common name for the C18 straight-chain, saturated fatty acid. Draw the structure of the fatty acyl-CoA that this forms (you don't have to draw out all of the atoms in coenzyme A; you can represent it as S-, and then show all of the reactions). Draw & identify all of the compounds formed when the eighteen carbon fat is converted to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and the fourteen-carbon fat via two turns of the fatty acid spiral. List the enzymes and coenzymes that are part of the pathway.arrow_forwardWhat is the product of the reaction when α-amylase acts on amylose? (A) amylose molecules (B) monosaccharide molecules (C) different-sized oligosaccharide fragments (D) different-sized polysaccharide fragmentsarrow_forward
