Question

How do I match these bio-chemistry terms?

Answer 1

see explanation

Explanation:

1. three fatty acids
2. unsaturated, saturated
3. hydrogenation
4. Polar
5. non-polar/hydrophobic
6. cell membranes
7. lipoproteins
8. LDL

Answer 2

Here's what I get.

Explanation:

1. Most plants synthesize and store triglycerides.

2. Triglycerides consist of a glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acids.

3. Fatty acids composed of one or more `"C=C"` bonds are unsaturated, whereas fatty acids containing all `"C-C"` bonds are saturated.

4. The commercial process of unsaturated triglycerides to saturated forms is hydrogenation.

5. The polar (hydrophilic) head of a phospholipid molecule has a charge and is therefore attracted to water.

6. The nonpolar tail of a phospholipid molecule has no charge and is hydrophobic in nature.

7. Phospholipid molecules are the major component of all cell membranes.

8. Steroid-based lipids have a ring structure and are formed from cholesterol.

9. Cholesterol cannot dissolve in water, so lipoproteins carry it in the blood.

10. Excessive levels of cholesterol packaged into LDL can lead to plaque formation and coronary artery disease.
