FUNDAMENTALS ASSESSMENT QUESTIONS
SOLUTIONS FINAL STUDY GUIDE
◉ Describe the different types, structures, and functions of lipids
including fatty acids. (2 multiple choice and 7 matching)
Answer: Saturated
Monounsaturated
Polyunsaturated fats
Triglycerides - 95% of lipids (3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol)
Sterols - cholesterol
Phospholipids - in all cell membranes, 2 fatty acids, 1 glycerol, 1
phosphorus acid
◉ Identify food sources of different types of lipids including
saturated -, monounsaturated-, and polyunsaturated- fatty acids, and
cholesterol. (7)
Answer: Foods highest in fat (and energy density) = butter,
margarine, and mayonnaise (100% calories = fat)
80% calories fat = nuts, bologna, avocados, bacon
, 75% = pb and cheddar cheese
60% = marbled steak, burgers
50% = chocolate, ice cream, doughnuts, whole milk
35% = eggs, pumpkin pie, cupcakes, lean cuts of meat
15% = bread
Saturated = solid at room temp
polyunsaturated/monounsaturated = liquid at room temp
All fatty acids are long-chain
Saturated = animal fats, palm oil, coconut oil
Unsaturated = other plant oils,
Polyunsaturated =
