Concept explainers
Concept introduction: Hydrogenation is a process in food industry, where vegetable oils containing unsaturated fatty acids are added with additional hydrogen atoms, which result in trans bonds. The trans-containing unsaturated fatty acids can be packed together in the lipid bilayer.
To explain: Whether the physical properties of the hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils differ.
To explain: The way in which the differences between the fully and partially hydrogenated oils occur.
Concept introduction: Hydrogenation is a process in food industry, where vegetable oils containing unsaturated fatty acids are added with additional hydrogen atoms, which result in trans bonds. The trans-containing unsaturated fatty acids can be packed together in the lipid bilayer.
To explain: Whether fully hydrogenated vegetable oil is more or less healthy to eat or it has no effect

- Most animal fats are solid at room temperature, whereas plant and fish oils tend to be liquid. Both contain fatty acids. Can you predict which type of fat contains saturated fatty acids, and which type contains unsaturated fatty acids?arrow_forwardOils can be converted to fats by a commercial process catalyzed bynickel which is called partial hydrogenation. In relatively mild conditions (180ºC and pressures of about 1.33 atm) a sufficient number of double bonds are hydrogenated and solidify liquid oils. This solid material, margarine, has a consistency similar to butter. Come up with a practical reason why oils don'tthey are completely hydrogenated during commercial hydrogenation processes.arrow_forwardOils can be converted to fats by a commercial process catalyzed bynickel which is called partial hydrogenation.

- Lipoproteins are relatively large, spherical clumps of protein and lipid molecules that circulate in the blood of mammals. They are like suitcases that move cholesterol, fatty acid remnants, triglycerides, and phospholipids from one place to another in the body. Given what you know about the insolubility of lipids in water, which of the four kinds of lipids would you predict to be on the outside of a lipoprotein clump, bathed in the fluid portion of blood?arrow_forwardWhy is hydrogenation so appealing that companies will continue to include hydrogenated oils in their products despite the social stigma that trans fats have acquired? If hydrogenation is supposed to produce saturated fats, then why do its byproducts include these undesirable trans unsaturated fats? Eliminating fat from the diet to decrease health risks, yet many nutrition arguments are being made about the importance and value of fats in a balanced diet. Discuss these points and how you feel fats can be incorporated into a healthy diet, if at all.arrow_forwardFats do not dissolve in water because Select one: a. There are no C-H bonds to form hydrogen bonds with water b. There are no O-H bonds form hydrogen bonds with water c. There are no C-C bonds to form hydrogen bonds with water d. There are no C-H bonds for covalent bonds with water e. There are no C-C bonds to form covalent bonds with waterarrow_forward
- Fats and oils are both triglycerides. Which description(s) below are true regarding the difference(s) between fats and oils? Fats and oils are both triglycerides. Which description(s) below are true regarding the difference(s) between fats and oils? Steroid All statements are true except A. Fats are solid at room temperature because they are saturated triglycerides. Fats are produced by animals and oils by plants. Oils are liquid at room temperature because they are unsaturated triglycerides. Fats and oils have the same properties and characteristics and are not different from one another.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true about lipids? There may be more than one correct answer so make sure to check all answers that are true. Fats tend to be liquid at room temperature while oils tend to be solid. A saturated fat contains fatty acids that only have single bonds between each carbon in the carbon chain. The presence of multiple double bonds in a fatty acid make it more likely that the overall lipid will be a liquid at room temperature. Phospholipids are able to form a phospholipid bilayer due to the fact that they contain a polar component at the "head" of the molecule, and a long and relatively straight non-polar component at the "tail" of the molecule Fats, lipids, and steroids all have the same general structure involving a glycerol molecule and fatty acids.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements regarding lipids is most accurate? 1. The empirical formula for lipids is typically C1H201 2. Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature because of the polar hydrocarbon Chain. 3. Polyunsaturated fats tend to be liquid at room temperature due to numerous double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains 4. Saturated fats tend to be liquid at room fèmperature due to hydrogen bonding 5. Lipids are synthesized by ribosomesarrow_forward
- A food contains organic molecules with the elements C, H, and O in a ratio of 1:2:1. What class of com- pounds do these molecules represent, and what are their major functions in the body?arrow_forwardList several functions of lipids in living organism. What kind of organic compound involved in fat formation contains carboxyl group.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about lipids is correct? unsaturated fats exist in liquid form at room temperature due to maximal H atoms bound to C atoms steroids are basically flat molecules made of four interlocking carbon ring structure eicosanoids are derived from a fatty acid called arachidonic acid in cell membranes a and c b and carrow_forward
