What is the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
I'll charitably assume that you don't have internet access properly where you live, since even a child could use Google to look this up online. Saturated fats bad. Unsaturated fats better. Polyunsaturated fats best. Trans fats not good. Hydrogenated fats bad. Unsaturated fats are more easily broken-down in our digestive system, so they cause less damage than saturated fats. They have a different structure from saturated fats, best explained as weak spots in their carbon chains. HOWEVER, carbohydrates are a much bigger danger to you, they keep your blood sugar high, which damages your arteries and all of your organs, especially the pancreas, which then can't control your blood sugar properly and the damage continues. Fat deposits can build up in the damaged areas of arteries, causing blockages. Without the damage the fats would be just pumped around to somewhere they can be useful.
Distinguish between a saturated and an unsaturated fat and list some unique emergent properties that are a consequence of these structural differences?
Saturated fats have no double bonds between carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains, while unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats are liquid. Unsaturated fats are more prone to oxidation and have a lower melting point compared to saturated fats, making them healthier for the heart.
How are hydrogenated oils like saturated fats?
Hydrogenated oils are oils that have been chemically processed to make them solid at room temperature, similar to saturated fats. This process changes their chemical structure and can lead to negative health effects like increased risk of heart disease.
What types of foods contain saturated lipids?
Foods high in saturated fats include animal products like fatty cuts of meat, poultry with skin, full-fat dairy products, and certain oils such as coconut oil and palm oil. Processed foods like pastries, cakes, and fried foods can also be sources of saturated fats.
What type of organisms make saturated fatty acids?
Saturated fatty acids are primarily made by bacteria, fungi, plants, and certain types of animals. These organisms have enzymes that help them produce saturated fatty acids through metabolic processes.
What fats come animals?
saturated
What are some saturated items?
Saturated fats are the fats that come from animal products. One saturated item would be cheese, like Parmesan, and Cheddar. Another would be milk chocolate, because it is made of milk and butter, which come from animals.
Is carbohydrates saturated fats?
No, carbohydrates are entirely different from saturated fats.
How do you analysis fat or oil?
An oil is a type of fat. Fats are divided into saturated and unsaturated. Generally, saturated fats come from animals and are solid at room temperature, and unsaturated fats come from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature. Oils are most often examples of unsaturated fats, such as canola oil.
Solid fats have a high proportion of .?
Solid fats have a high proportion of saturated fats.
olive and canola oils are examples of saturated fats?
Yes, but it is good saturated fats (monounsaturated fats).
Which are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon bonds?
Saturated fatty acids are formed from carbon to carbon single bonds. These molecules are typically solid at room temperature and are commonly found in animal fats and some plant oils. Consuming too many saturated fats can increase the risk of heart disease.
What is the RDA for a teenager for saturated fats?
As a teenager you do not need to limit your intake of saturated fat. I would recommend at least 10% of your calories come from saturated fat.
How much saturated fat do you need each day?
The American Heart Association recommends limiting the amount of saturated fats you eat to less than 7 percent of total daily calories. That means, for example, if you need about 2,000 calories a day, no more than 140 of them should come from saturated fats. That's about 16 grams of saturated fats a day. You need saturated fats to feed your cells. =) So don't cut them all the way out of your diet. Also it helps you eat healthier knowing you can have saturated fats.
With what saturated fat saturated?
Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
Is saturated fats a lipid?
Technically yes, however, Saturated Fats are better sub-catagorized under fats themselves. I say that Saturated Fats are technically Lipids because Lipids are composed of: Fats, Oils, and Waxes.
What comes in saturated and unsaturated forms?
Fats, oils, and fatty acids can come in both saturated and unsaturated forms. Saturated fats have no double bonds in their molecular structure, while unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds. This structural difference affects their physical properties and implications for health.
