B) Unsaturated fats have a high melting point, due to the straight structure, but saturated fats make a straight structure, they are much more stable than unsaturated fats. Saturated fats are also solid at room temperature, yet the cell membrane has to be fluid to let substances through the membrane. If all phospholipids in the cell membrane were to turn into saturated fats, they would turn completely solid not allowing anything through. In colder climates plants need to have a higher amount of unsaturated fats to keep the cell membrane from freezing solid. If the plants in cold climates only had saturated fats their cell membrane would freeze solid. This would not allow any important substances to enter or leave the cell membrane, and the
Do to the cold climate most plants are tiny ground cover plants, which grow and reproduce with not a lot of haste. They shield themselves from the cold and wind by hugging close to the ground. Some of
Palm kernel oil is trans-fat-free and 80 percent saturated fat when unmodified, according most experts saturated fat increases LDL in the blood, which is the bad cholesterol. However, excessive accumulation of LDL in the artery walls could trigger inflammation and destroy the heart and arteries, which may eventually cause heart attack or
Unsaturated fatty acid not filled with all the hydrogen it can hold. Because of that, it's less thick and less dense like liquid oil. Monounsaturated fat has one empty spot. Examples of monounsaturated fat include plants base liquid oil which contains olive oil and peanut oil
(b.) The fluidity of lipids depends on the length and saturation of their hydrocarbon tails. Butter is a saturated lipid with a short hydrocarbon tail, waxes are lipids with extremely long hydrocarbon tails but are still saturated, and oils are unsaturated lipids with long hydrocarbon tails.
The Transport of Substances Across the Plasma Membrane The plasma membrane or, the cell surface membrane, is made almost entirely of protein and lipid. The plasma membrane controls the movement of substances into and out of a cell. It is partially permeable so some substances cross more easily than others.
Those cells must receive nutrients and gases in order to undergo the metabolic processes that maintain homeostasis. In paragraph form, explain how you think the nutrients and gases enter the cell. Distinguish between the molecules that can enter by diffusion by simply moving across the membrane and those that must expend energy to cross the cell membrane.
Saturated fats were said to be linked to health risks that are detrimental to society as a whole. These health risks include the development of heart disease and type II diabetes
If I were a farmer, one of my advantages would be cold tolerance. Due to our ever-changing climate it is becoming increasingly hard to produce a consistent and healthy crop. Though scientists have introduced a gene form cold water fish, that helps prevent freezing and makes crops resistant to cold spells. This would be a great advantage for farmers to ensure that they can produce a healthy crop, no matter what climate types may be thrown their way.
High cholesterol can be avoided with many different easy ways that benefits the body in other ways. According to studies from NHBLI, saturated fats and diets high in cholesterol should be avoided to lower cholesterol. Saturated fat is the main reason of high cholesterol. Saturated means that means that it contains liquid, or is a a watery type substance. Eating cholesterol directly is also a main reason for high cholesterol after a person eats a meal that is very high in cholesterol. Studies from NHBLI prove that being more physically active can reduce the chances of high
Did you know that a light freeze (Cold weather) where the temperature falls below 32 degrees Fahrenheit can actually improve the flavor of your vegetables in your garden? The reason so is because the strength of the freeze does different things to your plant. A light freeze actually has the ability to freeze the flavor within the plant. Freezing the flavor is just the same as cutting up the plant, and throwing it into the freezer. However, letting the frost, freezing the flavor is a more efficient natural way. A strong freeze where the temperature falls below 25 degrees Fahrenheit can nearly destroy your garden. This is because the air can actually freeze the water within the plant. If that happens then almost all living functions that the
Saturated fats are most commonly found in meats, Haigh fat dairy products, and some plant based oils. While the majority of these items can be good for you, over consumption can increase your risk factors for chronic illness. Choose to eat all of these items in moderation to help reduce your risk factors. Even the healthiest of foods can fall into the category or of unhealthy if they are consumed in high quantities.
Also it is important on where the fat is carried on the body that contribe to health problems. Belly fat for example is stored deep below the skin, causing it to be surrounded by the organs and liver. Saturated and trans fats are big ones to try and avoid. These types of fats are known to increase the risk of diseses and high cholesterol. Foods that include Saturated fats tend to be, cuts of meat like beef and pork, chicken but with the skin, whole-fat dairy products, butter, cheese, palm/coconut oil and many more. Trans fat foods include things like, baked goods, margarine, fried foods, potato chips, etc. Knowing the type of "bad fat" to look out for is important, but so is knowing what the "good fats" are. Monounsturated fats are found in olive/canola/sunflower/peanut/sesame oils, Avocados, olives and nuts. There is also Polyunsaturated fats that include, Soybean/corn/safflower oils, walnuts, Seeds such as sunflower, sesame, pumpkin and flaxseeds, fatty fish like salmon and tuna, soymilk and tofu. These types of fats have heath benifits because they are good for the heart and also cholesterol. Fats disgest differently than the other molecules dessuted earlier, because the fat does not dissolve into the the disgestive juices. Bile which is produced by the liver but is stored in the gallbladder, are able to attach to the fat molcules and break it up into smaller particles, but lipase which is a fat-disgesting enzyme can break it down. It gets broke down into fatty acids and chlesterol which are then absorbed through the intestinal wall to the bloodstream. The fat is then stored in the body to be used as energy when it is
There are four main types of fats found in the foods we eat, they are Saturated Fat, Polyunsaturated fat, Monounsaturated
A molecule of dietary fat typically consists of several fatty acids (containing long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms), bonded to a glycerol. They are typically found as triglycerides (three fatty acids attached to one glycerol backbone). Fats may be classified as saturated or unsaturateddepending on the detailed structure of the fatty acids involved. Saturated fats have all of the carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains bonded to hydrogen atoms, whereas unsaturated fats have some of these carbon atoms double-bonded, so their molecules have relatively fewer hydrogen atoms than a saturated fatty acid of the same length. Unsaturated fats may be further classified as monounsaturated (one double-bond) or polyunsaturated (many double-bonds). Furthermore, depending on the location of the double-bond in the fatty acid chain, unsaturated fatty acids are classified as omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids. Trans fats are a type of unsaturated fat with trans-isomer bonds; these are rare in nature and in foods from natural sources; they are typically created
My saturated fats were labeled as “ok”, so I ate the recommended amount. Trans fats are fats that were hydrogenated so the product can last longer. It's found in things like margarine, cakes, fries, etc. It is recommended to eat as little amount of saturated fats as possible because they cause heart disease.
