These are esters of fatty acids with long chain aliphatic alcohols or with cyclic alcohols. These may be subdivided into true waxes, cholesterol esters,

Q

contain a phosphoric acid in addition to the alcohol and fatty acids and a nitrogenous base.

Eg: lecithin, cephalin, sphingomyelin

A

Phospholipids

15
Q

contain a fatty acid, carbohydrate and a nitrogenous base, can be
subclassified into cerebrosides and gangliosides.

A

Glycolipids

16
Q

are macromolecular
complex of lipids with proteins. These compounds are found in mammalian plasma bound with proteins.

A

Lipoprotein

17
Q

There are four types of lipoproteins, they are:

A
  1. chylomicrons, ii)
  2. very low density lipoprotein
    (VLDL)
  3. low-density lipoprotein
    (LDL) iv)
  4. high-density
    lipoproteins (HDL)
18
Q

are solid alcohols and form esters with fatty acids. In nature they occur in the free state in the form of esters.

A

Sterols

19
Q

is a complex type of lipid that is regularly synthesized by and stored in the liver. It is present in all animal products.

A

Cholesterol

20
Q

Based on their origin sterols are classified as

A

cholesterol (animal origin) and phytosterol (in plants).

21
Q

Fatty acids can be classified into three broad classes according to the degree of unsaturation

A
  • i. saturated fatty acids (SFA) have no double bonds,
  • ii. monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA)
    have one double bond
  • iii. polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA)
    have two or more double bonds.
22
Q

The orientation of hydrogen atoms around the double bond distinguishes cis fatty acids from trans fatty acids. Most unsaturated fatty acids found in nature have double bonds in the cis configuration.

A

Trans fatty acid

23
Q

are those that are unable to absorb more hydrogen, usually stiff, hard fats. They are further classified into four subclasses according to their chain length.

A

Saturated fatty acids

24
Q

Fatty acids with from 3 - 7 carbon atoms. Sources: Dairy fat Butter)

A

Short - chain fatty acids

25
Q

Fatty acids with from 8 - 13 carbon atoms. Sources: dairy fat, coconut and palm kernel oils

A

Medium - chain fatty acids

25
Q

Fatty acids with from 14 - 20 carbon atoms. Sources: most fats and oils

A

Long - chain fatty acids

26
Q

Fatty acids with twenty - one or more carbon atoms. Sources: peanut oil

A

Very - long-chain fatty acids

27
Q

The unsaturated fatty acids are further classified into three sub - groups according their chain lengths.

A

Short Chain Unsaturated fatty acids
Long Chain Unsaturated fatt acids
Very long Chain Unsaturated fatty acids

28
Q

Fatty acids with 19 or fewer carbon atoms.

A

Short - chain unsaturated fatty acids

29
Q

Fatty acids with 20 - 24
carbon atoms.

A

Long - chain unsaturated fatty acids:

30
Q

Fatty acids with 25 or more carbon atoms.

A

Very - long - chain unsaturated fatty acids

31
Q

is the most common
MUFA and it is present in considerable quantities in both
animal and plant sources.

A

Oleic acid

32
Q

can be divided into 12 families, ranging from double bonds located at the n-1 position to the n-12 position.

A

PUFA

33
Q

are the simple PUFA, which attain major proportions in most vegetable oils.

A

Linoleic (w-6) and a-linolenic (w-3) acids

34
Q

are the most important n-3 fatty acids in human nutrition. EPA and DHA are components of marine lipids.

A

Eiocosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and
docosahexaenoic acid DHA)

34
Q

Fat for Healthy Adults above 19 years old (PDRI)

A

15-30%

35
Q

cholesterol removes the lipids from the tissues and transports it back to liver for disposal. Hence, it is termed as ‘good cholesterol.

A

High Density Lipoprotein

35
Q

has the highest cholesterol fraction, favors lipid deposition in tissues including blood vessels and hence termed ‘bad’ cholesterol.

A

LDL lower density lipoprotein

36
Q

Total fat intake for adults ages 20 and older should comprise, of less of total calorie intake for the prevention of unhealthy weight gain, and the type of fat consumed should be mostly unsaturated fatty acids.

A

30%
