Q

saturated fatty acid

A

all carbons are bonged to 2 hydrogen’s and carbons at one end is methyl group CH3 and other end carbon is bonded to O and a hydroxyl group -OH > known as a carboxyl (-COOH) stearic acid

Q

unsaturated

A

the carbons attached to the double bond have one less hydrogen, thus a total of one hydrogen each; animal fats contain 60% unsat. fatty acids

Q

linoliec and linolenic acid

A

essential fatty acids

23
Q

skin and coat problems

A

abnormal metabolism of fatty acids

24
Q

triglycerides

A

glycerol and three fatty acids; main constituents of animal fats (butter, red meat); help solubilize fatty acids so they can be carried in blood and distributed; insoluble in blood

25
cholesterol
part of group of lipids called steroids- measure lipid metabolism- insoluble in blood
26
Lipoprotein
triglycerides and cholesterol attached to proteins; transport trigly. and chol. from intestines to other tissues; can transport internally synthesized tri and chol. between tissues or to liver. low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), transport cholesterol in the bloodstream
27
bile
emulsifies lipids to be absorbed
28
A complex lipid that includes a carbohydrate portion is a
glycolipid
29
Blood plasma that appears cloudy may be an indication of which condition or disease state
lipemia
30
Proteins
make up fibers in muscle; coating in viruses; keratin and collagen examples
31
Enzymes
chemical reactions; lipase (example) digest fats; proteases digest proteins;
32
Regulatory proteins
control gene expression; inflammatory response; replication
33
transport proteins
membrane proteins
34
amylase
Digests starches and polysaccharides
35
amino acids
building blocks of proteins,
36
peptides
chains of amino acids
37
polypeptides
longer chains of amino acids
38
essential amino acids
cannot be produced by the body.
39
Taurine
specific to cats and ferrets
40
vitamins
serve as chemical partners to enzymes in a variety of cellular reactions
41
water soluble
vitamin B and C
42
lipid soluble
vitamins A, D, E, and K
43
synthesized by body
D, K, and the B vitamin biotin
44
microminerals
``` calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chlorine (Cl), and sulfur (S). ```
45
microminerals
``` calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chlorine (Cl), and sulfur (S). ```
46
Fiber
cellulose and hemicellulose
47
Which micromineral is an important component of Vitamin B12?
cobalt
48
The deficiency of which essential micromineral results in anemia and fatty degeneration of the liver
cobalt
49
Fixed formulation
combination of ingredients is fixed such that every batch of formula made will have the exact same level of each ingredient as the previous lot
50
managed formulation
accounts for this natural ingredient variation by allowing small differences in ingredient inclusion from one batch of diet to another. The goal of a managed formulation is to maintain the same level of nutrition (protein, fat, etc.) over time
51
The roles of cell-to-cell communication and self-recognition by the immune system are fulfilled by:
glycoproteins
52
Which carbohydrate consists of two glucose units bound together?
maltose
53
Mono and disaccharides
Sugars
54
Polysaccharides
Carbohydrates and starches- can be bound to proteins for cell components.
