1.Enter a brief definition of these terms
@ polyunsaturated fatty acids:
The most common polyunsaturated fatty acids belong to the series n-6 and n-3, whose heads respective linoleic acid and linolenic acid. These two essential fatty acids, ie can not be synthesized in the body, and must be obtained from the diet. All other fatty acids in their series they can be obtained from them.
@ Micelle:
micelle is called the cluster of molecules which is one of the phases of the colloid . Is the mechanism by which the soap molecules solubilized insoluble in water and fat. @
lipid bilayer: The lipid bilayer is a structure formed by the coupling of various lipids amphipathic, ie they have a hydrophilic head (lipophobic pole) and tail lipophilic (hydrophobic pole), which when in an aqueous medium is spatially oriented , so that the hydrophilic heads are oriented outward (toward the aqueous medium) and the hydrophobic tails are directed inward, forming a lipophilic region.
@ Inositol:
Inositol is part of the vitamin B complex Is required for proper formation of the membranes cell.
@ Gangliosides:
glycosylated sphingolipids abundant in the ganglion cells of the central nervous system, particularly in the nerve endings, which contain sialic acid . 9 gangliosides are known, including the GM1, DG1A, GD1b and GT1b are in the cerebro.Los ganglioside receptors for various toxic agents such as tetanus toxin, cholera toxin and some virus.Varias lipid storage diseases are related to the catabolism of gangliosides ( Tay-Sachs disease or generalized gangliosidosis)
@ Tay-Sachs disease:
The Tay-Sachs disease occurs when the body lacks hexosaminidase A, a protein that helps break down a chemical found in nerve tissue called gangliosides. Without this protein, gangliosides, particularly ganglioside GM2 accumulate in the cells, especially nerve cells in the brain.
@ Atherosclerosis:
Atherosclerosis is the buildup of fatty deposits called plaque inside the walls arteries. As plaque builds up in the artery, it gradually narrows and becomes clogged. As more and more an artery is narrowed, less blood can pass. The artery can also become less elastic (this is called "hardening of the arteries.") Atherosclerosis is the main cause of a group of diseases called cardiovascular diseases - heart disease and blood vessels.
@ Isoprene:
Isoprene is produced naturally in animals and plants and is usually the more hydrocarbon found in the human body.
@ Eicosanoid:
In biochemistry, eicosanoids is the general name given to a group of molecules constitution lipid derivatives of omega-3 (ω-3) or omega-6 (ω-6), turn both fatty acids. Meet expanding role as mediators for the central nervous system , the events of the inflammation and immune response both vertebrates and invertebrates.
@ omega-3 fatty acids:
are polyunsaturated fatty acids found in high proportion in the tissues of certain fish , and some plant sources as flax seed , the hemp seeds and nuts .
@ Soap:
soap is usually the result of chemical reaction between alkali (usually sodium hydroxide or potassium ) and some fatty acid, this reaction is called saponification. The fatty acid may be, for example, lard or coconut oil. Soap is soluble in water, and detersive properties , commonly used for washing.
@ Triglycerides:
Triglycerides are the main type of fat carried by the body. Named after its chemical structure. After eating, the body digests food fats and releases triglycerides into the blood. They are transported around the body for energy or to be stored as fat.
@ Saturated fats:
formed by saturated fatty acids . Arise eg bacon in the fat and so forth. This type of fat is solid at room temperature. Those formed by fatty acids lauric , myristic and palmitic fats are more harmful to the body. However, based on the saturated fat stearic have a neutral effect. Examples: fats and shortenings.
@ Prostaglandins:
Prostaglandins are a group of substances belonging to fatty acids of 20 carbons ( eicosanoids), which contain a cyclopentane ring and form a family cellular mediators, with diverse effects, and often contrary.
@ fitoesteroides:
The phytosterols and triterpene compounds also have a recognized role like hormones, keep the tone and firmness, thereby effectively preventing its signosde aging.
@ Trans fatty acids:
trans fatty acids or trans fats are a type of fat found mainly in processed foods that have been subjected to hydrogenation as margarine or baking such as cakes others.Backward between trans fats not only increase the levels of harmful lipoproteins (LDL ) in the blood but decrease the protective lipoprotein (HDL ), causing increased risk of suffering cardiovascular diseases
@ partial hydrogenation:
Partial hydrogenation of polyunsaturated oils (which is the basis for manufacture of margarine) results in an enrichment of trans isomers thus more dangerous to a fat man.
@ Pheromones:
are substances that allow communication between individuals of the same species. The best-known roles include attracting pheromones partner in the breeding season and marking the territory. The pheromone receptors are in the vomeronasal organ, which is located in the nasal cavity. Inflammatory drug (NSAID) are chemicals with anti-inflammatory effect , analgesic and antipyretic , effects that are similar to those of steroids but not the secondary consequences. Act by blocking the synthesis of prostaglandins .
2.2 which of the following molecules are part of the family of lipids?
d) palmitic acid (chemical formula is CH3 (CH2) 14COOH. Is the main saturated fatty acid in the diet , constituting about 60% of them. It is the most abundant in meat and milk fat (butter , cheese and cream ) and the vegetable oils such as coconut oil and palm oil .
e) trimiristina ( is an ester, with the chemical formula C 45 H 86 O 6. is a saturated fat, which is the triglyceride myristic acid. ) Trimyristin is found naturally in vegetable fats and oils Many. And in the nutmeg

7.Explicar why soap solutions meet in aqueous micellar structures. In the formation of a soap micelle in water, molecules of soap (a salt of sodium or potassium of a fatty acid) are bound together by their hydrophobic ends corresponding to the hydrocarbon chains while the hydrophilic ends, those carrying carboxyl groups, negatively ionized by loss of an ion sodium or potassium, they repel each other. Thus non-polar chains of the soap is hidden from the water, while the carboxyl groups, negatively charged, they are exposed to it. Similarly, lipids polar disperse dilute aqueous solution forming micelles. In these hydrocarbon chains are hidden from the aqueous environment and form an internal hydrophobic phase, with hydrophilic groups exposed on the surface. These micelles may contain thousands of molecules of lipids and, therefore, its mass is very high.
8.How work bile salts to help digest fat?
9.Escribir a reaction or describe the action of each enzyme
a) LIPASE .- treacilgliceroles catalyzes the hydrolysis stored, freeing fatty acids which are exported to other places.
b) .- CYCLOOXYGENASES are responsible for the synthesis of prostaglandins that regulate the secretion of gastric mucin, also synthesize prostaglandins that regulate pain, inflammation and fever.
c) LIPOOXIGENASA.-is involved in the metabolism of arachidonic acid and produces hydroxides (HETEs) and leukotrienes.
13.Por do some cooking oils such as canola oil and olive oil are arrancian before becoming solid? Most natural fat such as oils plants, are complex mixtures of simple and mixed triacylglycerols. The latter contain several fatty acids differ in chain length and degree of saturation. Vegetable oils are composed mostly of triacylglycerols with unsaturated fatty acids, which are liquid at room temperature. When fatty foods are exposed to oxygen for too long can damage air turning stale. The taste and odor associated with rancidity from the oxidative cleavage of the double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids produces aldehydes and carboxylic acids shorter and therefore more volatile.
