  1. 1. also known as adipose tissue, serves as a reservoir of energy / fat stores in animals
  2. 7. reverse esterification / (alkaline hydrolysis produces the salt of the fatty acid and is used in the manufacture of soap, hence the name _)
  3. 9. the "most important" male steroid hormone
  4. 10. unsaturated fatty acids are ale to undergo _ by breaking the carbon-carbon double bonds and adding incoming groups to the new bonding positions
  5. 14. the reaction of the addition of iodine is addition of hydrogen
  6. 15. a steroidal _ is a structure consisting of four fused rings, the defining feature of steroids.
  7. 16. present in the human diet (typically from animal fat), insoluble in blood, transported bound in lipoproteins
  8. 17. unsaturated triglycerides which have weaker intermolecular forces and lower melting points (liquids at room temperature) are known as _
  9. 18. characterized by disagreeable smells, taste, texture, or appearance
  10. 19. controls (but cannot eliminate) oxidative rancidity

  1. 2. fats, oils, steroids, and phospholipids / hydrophobic, soluble in non-polar solvents
  2. 3. the major constituent of fats and oils / esters formed by condensation reactions between glycerol and three fatty acids
  3. 4. the condition in which lipids are deposited in the walls of the main blood vessels, restricting blood flow
  4. 5. essential _ _ cannot be manufactured by the body and must be taken in the diet
  5. 6. enzymes that catalyse hydrolysis
  6. 8. defined as the number of grams of iodine which react with 100g of fat / a measure of the amount of unsaturation in the fat
  7. 11. the excess accumulation of body fat
  8. 12. the _ bilayer maximizes the interactions between the polar groups and water, while creating a non-polar, hydrophobic interior.
  9. 13. _ steroids that promote tissue growth, especially of the muscles
