Chapter 5 Nutrition 101 Week 4 Assignment Study questions 1. What features distinguish fatty acids from each other? Fatty acids are distinguished by the length of their carbon chains‚ degree of unsaturation and their location of double bonds. Most are triglycerides with glycerol backbones and three fatty acids attached. 2. What are the differences between saturated‚ unsaturated‚ monounsaturated‚ and

a. SATURATED FATS FROM NONSATURATED FATS An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond‚ and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Where double bonds are formed‚ hydrogen atoms are eliminated. Thus‚ asaturated fat has no double bonds‚ has the maximum number of hydrogens bonded to the carbons‚ and therefore is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. In cellularmetabolism

Alkyl Halides Alkyl halides are a class of compounds where a halogen atom or atoms are bound to an sp3 orbital of an alkyl group. CHCl3 (Chloroform: organic solvent) CF2Cl2 (Freon-12: refrigerant CFC) CF3CHClBr (Halothane: anesthetic) Halogen atoms are more electronegative than carbon atoms‚ and so the C-Hal bond is polarized. H H μ C + C-l δ δ H The C-X bond is polarized in such a way that there is partial positive charge on the carbon and partial negative charge on the halogen. Dipole moment
