Document Summary
1 dietary calorie = amount of energy temperature of 1kg of water by 1c: 1 dietary calorie = 1000 scientific calories needed to raise. Describe and distinguish between different classes of lipids. Lipids are biomolecules that are sparingly soluble in water: contain large hydrophobic groups, fatty acids used for energy and structure long non polar chain with a polar group on one end saturated, full number of hydrogens. Monounsaturated: one double bond: trans: linear, cis: bent polyunsaturated: 2+ double bonds, double bonds are not conjugated, notation: (c)(# of c) : (# of double bonds) to get location of double bond: Means start at carbonyl and count down. N/ means start at other end and count up note: fatty acid chains have an even number of carbons, any double bond is usually cis, the first double bond is on the 9th carbon (starting from carbonyl) Ldl = low density lipoprotein, carries cholesterol to tissues: bad fats.
