What fats are found primarily in plant products?
The type of fat found primarily found in animal products is saturated fat. This is reference to the fact that acid chains which are "fatty" in nature have no possible double bond located in them.
Do saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms?
It depends on the length of the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is saturated. The maximum number of hydrogen atoms will occur when the carbon atoms are all single-bonded to one another (no double bonds).
What kind of fat contains fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms in one or more of its fatty acid chains?
An unsaturated fat because some of the carbons along it's length are double bonded and kinked.
Which are building blocks of neutral fats?
Neutral fats are esthers of a glycerol molecule, and three fatty acid molecules.
Why are unsaturated fatty acids better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell?
Unsaturated fatty acids are better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell. This is because unsaturated fats are more porous.
What are fats called at room temperature when they are solid?
the presence of double boned carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains and the degree of packing of fatty acid chains.
Fatty acid chains with all single bonds between carbon and hydrogens?
saturated fat. unsaturated has double bonds. thats why unsaturated in more healthy for you they can bend and flex. and saturated fats are solid at room temp
What is trans fat-?
an unsaturated fatty acid that has been changed to a saturated fatty acid
Why is saturated fatty acid mostly solid?
Loosely speaking, "saturated" in fats means "solid at room temperature".
What is the definition of fat?
The major kinds of fats in the foods we eat are saturated, polyunsaturated,monounsaturated and trans fatty acids. Saturated fats, trans fats and dietary fatsFat can also mean someone who is overweight
Which are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon bonds?
saturated fats for plato A
Compounds is missing 4 or more hydrogen atoms?
They are called Saturated fat. They are saturated because they contain the maximum number of hydrogen that they can. On the other hand, if a fatty doesn't have that number of hydrogen, it will be unsaturated. Saturated fats are mainly found in animal, butter made out of cow's milk is made of saturated fats, while unsaturated fats comes from plants, like olive oil.
What fats are found primarily in plant products?
The type of fat found primarily found in animal products is saturated fat. This is reference to the fact that acid chains which are "fatty" in nature have no possible double bond located in them.
What what is trans fat?
Trans fats are saturated fats used to extend the shelf life of manys foods. Trans fats are responsible for lowering good cholesterol and raising bad cholestrol.
What is the nutrients in fats and oils?
Fats and oils are composed of Fatty Acid chains which are themselves the source of energy for the cell. by breaking down the fatty acids the cell releases energy which produces ATP.
What are the acid parts of fats?
only your fat fatty , no you crazyyfatty acid is a carboxylic acid often with a long unbranched aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated
Why are saturated fatty acids better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell?
Unsaturated fatty acids are better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell. This is because unsaturated fats are more porous.
