- Dietary Sources?
Unhealthy fats tend to be solid at room temperature, whilst healthier fats should be liquid at room temperature. Healthy lipids are also contained in avocados, pine nuts, and more. Unhealthy lipids are in items such as frozen meals and dairy products.
- Function in your body?
The function of lipids in your body is to store energy, provide cellular structure, act as signaling molecules, enzyme activation, molecular transportation, and to help with metabolism. Lipids also carry nutrients for the body and some may help with storing fat soluble vitamins.
-Elements Involved?
The elements involved in lipids are oxygen, hydrogen, and carbon.
-Basic Structure?
Lipids are hydrophobic, meaning that they don't dissolve in water.
-Examples?
A few examples of lipids are waxes, oils, and animal fats.
-Saturated?
~ Dietary sources & examples?
Examples of saturated lipids are pizza and cheese- also known as the biggest food sources of saturated fat in the US.
~Chemicals?
Saturated fats are fat molecules that have no double bonds between carbon molecules because they are saturated with hydrogen molecules.
-Unsaturated?
~ Dietary sources & examples?
Avocados, pine nuts and olive oil are good healthy sources of fat for your body.
~ Chemicals?
Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats are the two unsaturated fats. They're mainly found in fish such as salmon, trout and herring, avocados, olives, walnuts and liquid vegetable oils such as soybean, corn, safflower, canola, olive and sunflower.
