20
Q

Esters of fatty acid with alcohol, e.g., 1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids (commonly called triglyceride or triacylglycerol

21
Q

Are examples di compound lipids and are used for lipid transport (like a courier)

Q

Other term for triglycerides.

A

TRIACYLGLYCEROL

23
Q

Is the most abundant steroid present in animal tissue and serves as a precursor for vitamin D, bile acids and steroid hormones.

24
Q

Are acted upon by enzyme pancreatic lipase and converted into fatty acids, monoglycerides and glycerol

A

EMULSIFIED LIPIDS

25
Too much unsaturated fatty acids can be toxic to rumen microbes
BIOHYDROGENATION
26
Part of the small intestine where fatty acid is absorbed.
JEJUNUM
27
Emulsifies the fat and pancreatic lipase hydrolyzes them to release fatty acids and glycerol
BILE SALT
28
Also known as bad cholesterol which transports cholesterol to tissues
LOW-DENSITY LIPOPROTEINS
29
Also known as good cholesterol and is responsible for reverse transport of cholesterol or removal of cholesterol from tissues.
HIGH-DENSITY LIPOPROTEIN
30
Part of cell where Fatty acids are oxidized by converting them to acetyl CoA.
MITOCHONDRIA
