GUIDE
what is functional fiber? - ANSWERS-fiber added to foods that has been
shown to provide health benefits
describe the structure of a fatty acid - ANSWERS-a long chain of
carbons bonded together and flanked by hydrogens. at one end of the
molecule (the alpha end) is an acid group and at the other end (the
omega end) is a methyl group.
how are trans fats produced? - ANSWERS-during certain types of food
processing, some hydrogens are transferred to opposite sides of the
carbon-carbon double bond, creating a trans fatty acid
how many double bonds are in a monounsaturated fatty acid? -
ANSWERS-one
what foods might be dangerously high in mercury if consumed too
frequently? - ANSWERS-some types of fish
ex. shark, swordfish, king mackerel, tilefish, marlin, etc.

GUIDE
describe the structure of an omega-3 fatty acid - ANSWERS-if the first
double bond starts three carbons from the methyl end of the fatty acid, it
is an omega-3 fatty acid
what is a chylomicron? - ANSWERS-lipoprotein made of dietary fats
surrounded by a shell of cholesterol, phospholipids, and protein.
Chylomicrons are formed in the absorptive cells of the small intestine
after fat absorption and travel through the lymphatic system to the
bloodstream
what is HDL? - ANSWERS-the lipoprotein in the blood that picks up
cholesterol from dying cells and other sources and transfers it to the
other lipoproteins in the bloodstream, as well as directly to the liver; low
HDL increases the risk for cardiovascular diseases
how is fat transported in the bloodstream? - ANSWERS-fat is
transported in the blood by lipoproteins that are water-soluble and carry
cholesterol and triglycerides internally
what enzyme breaks down fat? - ANSWERS-lipase
