Cholesterol (ch.5) - A lipid that consists of multiple chemical rings and is made only by animal rings. Describe the digestive process of proteins? (ch.6) - 1) Mouth begins mechanical breakdown of protein 2) HCl and pepsin begin chemical digestion 3) Protein digesting enzymes from pancreas and villi in small intestine break polypeptides into amino acids 4) Transport proteins move products of protein digestion into the mucosal cell 5) Dipeptides and tripeptides can enter the mucosal cell ...

hat are chylomicrons? (ch.5) - ANSWER Lipoproteins that transport lipids from the mucosal cells of the small intestine and deliver triglycerides to other body cells. Are created via the combination of cholesterol, phospholipids and a small amount of protein. What is the role of lipoproteins? (ch.5) - ANSWER help transport dietary triglycerides, cholesterol, and fat-soluble vitamins from the small intestine and stored or newly synthesized lipids from the liver

What is the structure of a fatty acid? (ch.5) - An organic molecule made up of a chain of carbons linked to hydrogen atoms with an acid group on one end What is the effect of chain length on a fatty acid? (ch.5) - Chain length determines the physical form of a fat at room temperature. What is the physical form of a short-chain fatty acid at room temperature? (ch.5) - (4-7 carbons) Liquid What is the physical form of a medium-chain length fatty acid at room temperature? (ch.5) - (8-12 ca...
