Question
Chapter 24, Problem 24.72GP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
A low-fat diet of pasta, bread, beer and soda can easily lead to an increase in weight. The chemistry behind the weight increase has to be determined. And the excess carbohydrate is stored as fat; reason for this should be explained.
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-carboxylic acids that are mostly obtained from the hydrolysis of natural fats and oils. They have a general formula
Lipogenesis is the
Adipose tissue protects, insulates and stores fat in droplets inside the cells.
It consists of cells (adipocytes) in a fluid-gel matrix.
It is found beneath the skin, around the kidneys, behind the eyes and on the heart.
