coconut oil: correct answers Canola oil and olive oil are monounsaturated fatty acids.
They contain one double bond. Butter fat and coconut oil are saturated fatty acids and
contain only single bonds.

Draw the structure of an 18-carbon saturated FA. correct answers Ch3-(CH2)16-COOH

What are the health benefits of consuming omega-3 fatty acids? correct answers
Reduce risk for heart disease, depression, dental disease, arthritis, and others; they
improve immune function and brain development in infants.

Be familiar with the steps in the process of lipid digestion and absorption (from handout
and diagram in textbook): correct answers Most digestion and absorption occurs in the
SMALL INTESTINE.
1. TG detected in duodenum, BILE is released from gallbladder. Bile emulsifies fat
droplets.
2. PANCREATIC LIPASE is secreted from the pancreas.
3. PANCREATIC LIPASE breaks FA's off the TG backbone.
4. Glycerol, FA, and MG (monoglycerides) are major products of lipid digestion.
5. Packaged as micelle for transport of lipids to end of absorptive cell.
6. Absorptive cells remove end products of lipid digestion.
7. MG and FA combine to become TG.
8. Absorptive cells package the TG with some cholesterol and coats the particle with
protein and phospholipid to form chylomicron.

What is the function of all lipoproteins? correct answers Lipid transport

What are the four parts to a lipoprotein? correct answers Phospholipid, Protein,
Cholesterol, Triglyceride

What are the major classes of lipoproteins? correct answers Chylomicrons, Very-low-
