Fatty acid molecules that are naturally occurring in humans, do not need to obtain them from the diet
What is a Non Essential Fatty Acid ?
100
This molecule contains all the HYDROGENS it can possible hold
What is SATURATED FAT ?
100
Consists of a wid group of compounds including but not limited to: triglycerides, waxes, sterols, fatty acids
What is FAT OR LIPID
100
The backbone for fatty acid molecules
What is GLYCERIDE
200
A lipid that contains a STEROL, found naturally in humans and in animals
Important part of the cell membranes
If diet is high in this then can cause plaque buildup in the arteries
What is CHOLESTEROL
200
A process in which hydrogen ateoms are being added to unsaturated fat molecules
What is HYDROGENATION
200
A mound of lipid material mixed with calcium and smooth muscle cells -- in the arteries can lead to heart disease and even cause heart attacks
What is PLAQUE
200
Two fatty acid molecules attached to two glyceride molecules
What is DIGLYCERIDE
300
a protein combined with a lipid or fat
Transports fat or other lipds in the blood plasma
What is a LIPOPROTEIN
300
meaning one bond in the fatty acid chain is a double bond
Not fully saturated with hydrogen atoms
What is an UNSATURATED fat
300
The decomposition of fats and oils
Causing a bad odor and off-flavors
What is RANCIDITY
300
The organic acid portion of triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides
Consist of carbon chain with attached hydrogen atoms and a carboxyl group (-COOH)
What is a FATTY ACID
400
A subgroup of of steroids occurring naturally in plants, animals and fungi
Usually apart of a bigger molecule like, CHOLESTEROL
What is STEROL
400
Most of the fatty acid chain is not saturated with hydrogens rather consisting of three or more double bonds
What is POLYUNSATURATED fatty acid
400
-COOH
A carbon bonded to oxygen by a double bond, to a hydroxyl group with a single bond
What is CARBOXYL GROUP or CARBOXYLIC ACID
400
The temperature or process of which a fat solidifies or returns to original state of firmness
What is SOLIDIFICATION POINT
500
Meaning the 3rd carbon from the end contains a double bond
What is OMEGA-3 fatty acid
500
A process by which fat is breaking down, occurs in the presence of oxygen or open air
What is AUTO-OXIDATION
500
Humans and animals must ingest these because they are not manufactured readily
