Fats Vocab

5. tissue in which the body stores lipids
8. acid and organic compound made up of a chain of carbon atoms to which hydrogen atoms are attached and having an acid group at one end
10. a white waxy lipid made by the body that is part of every cell it is also found in foods of animal organ
11. fatty acid a fatty acid that has no double bonds in its chemical structure and carries a full load of hydrogen atoms
14. fatty acid a fatty acid that has at least one double bond between two carbon atoms in a carbon atom chain and is missing at least two hydrogen atoms
15. an unsaturated fatty acid that has had hydrogen added to convert it to a solid fat
18. a group of compounds that includes triglycerides phospholipids and sterols
19. describes a fat in which the fatty acid molecules have combined with oxygen causing them to break down which makes the fat spoil and gives it an unpleasant smell and taste
20. fat droplets coated by proteins so they can be transported in the bloodstream

1. a class of lipids that have a phosphorus containing compound in their chemical structures which allows them to combine with both fat and water to form emulsions
2. the major type of fat found in foods and in the body consist of three fatty acids attached to glycerol
3. a phospholipid made by the liver and found in many foods
4. a fatty acid needed by the body for normal growth and development that cannot be made by the body and must be supplied by the diet
6. a ball of triglycerides thinly coated with cholesterol phospholipids and proteins formed to carry absorbed dietary fat to body cells
7. a fatty acid that has only one double bond between carbon atoms in a carbon atom chain
9. a fatty acid that has two or more double bonds between carbon atoms in a carbon atom chain
12. abnormally high blood pressure and excess force on walls of the arteries as blood is pumped from the heart
13. the process of breaking the double carbon bonds in unsaturated fatty acids and adding hydrogen to make the fatty acid more saturated
16. a buildup of fatty compounds made up largely of cholesterol that form on the inside walls of arteries
17. a class of lipids that have complex molecular structure, including some hormones vitamin D and cholesterol
