Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Stearic acid has to be classified as an essential or non-essential fatty acid.
Concept introduction: The fatty acids which are not produced in the human body in adequate amount and must be obtained from dietary sources are known as essential fatty acids.
(b)
Interpretation: Linolenic acid has to be classified as an essential or non-essential fatty acid.
Concept introduction: The fatty acids which are not produced in the human body in adequate amount and must be obtained from dietary sources are known as essential fatty acids.
(c)
Interpretation: Oleic acid has to be classified as an essential or non-essential fatty acid.
Concept introduction: The fatty acids which are not produced in the human body in adequate amount and must be obtained from dietary sources are known as essential fatty acids.
(d)
Interpretation: Arachidic acid has to be classified as an essential or non-essential fatty acid.
Concept introduction: The fatty acids which are not produced in the human body in adequate amount and must be obtained from dietary sources are known as essential fatty acids.

Give examples of each type of fat. 2) We often think only of DNA and RNA as nucleic acids. Discuss the role of other, less “well-known” nucleic acids, such as cAMP, cGMP, NADH, NADPH, and FADH. 3) Collagen is a very important structural protein in animals. Discuss the various parts of the body in which collagen is an important structural molecule and what its function is at each body location.arrow_forward
