Question
Chapter 24.7, Problem 24.5CIAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The factor which contributes to the storage of excess energy as triacylglycerols should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Triacylglycerides consisting of three molecules of fatty acids bound with one molecules of glycerol; a neutral fat that is the usual storage form of lipids in animals.
Adipose tissue protects, insulates, and stores fat in droplet inside the cells.
Lipids are insoluble organic compounds that consist of fat and oil. The chemical composition of these molecules includes hydrogen, carbon and oxygen.
