If hydrogenation is supposed to produce saturated fats, then why do its byproducts include these undesirable trans unsaturated fats?

Discuss these points and how you feel fats can be incorporated into a healthy diet, if at all.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements about amino acids is/are incorrect? 1. Standard amino acids are so named because these are the only amino acids there are. 2. Essential amino acids can be synthesized by the organism. 3. All standard amino acids are optically active. 4.

Trans-fatty acids are denser, solid at room temperature, and store more energy in the same unit of volume than unsaturated fatty acids. The production of trans-fatty acids involves the reorientation of one of the hydrogen atoms attached to a double-bonded car- bon atom, as illustrated in the figure below. unsaturated fatty acid OHHHHH HOC CCCC-c II I I HHHH trans-fatty acid |||| Molecular model of an unsaturated and trans-fatty acid Based on the structures shown above, H -C-C-C-C-C-H HHHHH TTTTT !!!!!

For instance, some promoters of weight-loss diets claim that carbohydrate (for example, rice) is harmful and should be omitted from the diet or intake of carbohydrate significantly reduced. There is a saying that “fats burn in the fire of carbohydrates”. What is the meaning of this? What would be the effect of a significant reduction in carbohydrate intake on the utilization of fats for energy? Cite the biochemical mechanisms that support your answer.arrow_forward
- Acid hydrolysis of proteins in order to determine the amino acid composition leaves most of the amino acid residues intact but: O a. converts asparagine to aspartic acid O b.oxidizes leucine to isoleucine O c. destroys glutamic and aspartic acid O d. destroys the basic amino acids O e. destroys prolinearrow_forwardFats and oils are both triglycerides.

Which description(s) below are true regarding the difference(s) between fats and oils? Steroid All statements are true except A. Fats are solid at room temperature because they are saturated triglycerides. Fats are produced by animals and oils by plants. Oils are liquid at room temperature because they are unsaturated triglycerides. Fats and oils have the same properties and characteristics and are not different from one another.arrow_forward1.

- Which of the following might be a feature(s) of a lipid that has been converted from a fully saturated fatty acid to a fatty acid containing several trans double bonds? Select all that apply. The trans fatty acid will now have a higher melting temperature compared to the fully saturated precursor The trans fatty acid will be able to pack more closely with saturated fatty acids, than with unsaturated fatty acids containing cis double bonds The trans fatty acid will now have a lower melting temperature compared to the fully saturated precursor The trans fatty acid will be able to pack most closely with unsaturated fatty acids containing cis double bonds, than with saturated fatty acidsarrow_forward1. Heat enhances hydrogen bonds, ionic interaction and hydrophobic bonds among the amino residues in a protein.* 1 point The statement is CORRECT. The statement is INCORRECT. 2. Which of the following statements is TRUE for fats and oils?* Fats need more volume of bromine to reach endpoint due to higher degree of unsaturation. Oils need more volume of bromine to reach endpoint due to higher degree of unsaturation. Fats and oils need the same volume to reach endpoint due to same degree of unsaturation. None of the choicesarrow_forwardFat can be defined loosely as a source for energy storage in the human body. The human anatomy is designed to carry food reserves to ensure the body's survival when food becomes scarce. However, in our slim-conscious society, many people go to great lengths to keep fat from accumulating on their bodies, sometimes with harmful effects. Fat is more efficient in storing energy than carbohydrates for several reasons. First, fat is a highly concentrated energy source. Second, fat weighs less than the same energy amount of carbohydrates. Third, fat is much more efficient to carry as an energy source because it does not hold water as do carbohydrates. For example, an average 70-kilogram human male normally has about 11 kilograms of fat in his body. This fat represents enough stored energy to keep him alive for a month without eating. The same amount of energy stored as starch would double his body weight. Which view does the passage support? A. Fats lead to high levels of cholesterol. B. One…arrow_forward
