Document Summary

Avs - 101 - lecture 5 - lipids & proteins - anthony mallilo. Made up of glycerol and fatty acid radical. Saturated fats- typically 12 c, saturated with h. Unsaturated fats- not completely saturated with h. Need essential fatty acids in diet: linoleic, linolenic, arachidonic acids; dietary essential; taste; fat soluble vitamins (a, d, e, k); deficiencies such as decreased growth skin problems. Contains c, h, o, & n (can also have iron, phosphorous, or sulfur) Change in protein structure causes severe problems. Part of hair, skin, muscle, bone, horns, hooves, wool. As animals and humans age protein becomes more and more critical. 25 amino acids in nature (10 essential)\ Amino group of one aa is linked to the carboxyl group of another aa. Can"t be synthesized by body at rate necessary for growth & maintenance. 10 aa are essential (depends on animal) Plants can form aa from nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorous.
