Interpretation:
It should be determined that how are long chain fatty acids released from triacylglycerides transported through the blood stream.
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
Fatty acids are highly water insoluble. Therefore it must be transported in blood in with a protein.
Albumin, globulin and fibrinogen are the three types of plasma protein.
Triacylglycerides consisting of three molecules of fatty acids bound with one molecules of glycerol; a neutral fat that is the usual storage form of lipids in animals.
