1. Understanding Fat Digestion: Fats, or lipids, undergo digestion in the gastrointestinal tract. The primary products of lipid digestion are monoglycerides and diglycerides. 2. Insolubility of Digestion Products: Monoglycerides and diglycerides are insoluble in water. This characteristic prevents them fro...
Fats are the most prevalent class of compounds (in living systems) referred to as lipids . Lipids are cellular compounds that are insoluble in water. Fats are soft, low-melting solids, with a density less than that of water. They have a greasy feel and are slippery. Because fats are inso...
Fats are a subgroup of compounds known as lipids that are found in the body and have the general property of being hydrophobic (meaning they are insoluble in water). Fats are also known as triglycerides, molecules made from the combination of one molecule of glycerol with three fatty acids (...

Fats are important for humans, animals, and plants because of their high energy content, which accounts for large amount of energy storage in the smallest amount of food material. Fats enable humans and animals to absorb fat-soluble vitamins as well as provide essential fatty acids, which their...
Lipids are a class of organic molecules used for long-term energy storage in the body as well as cell communication, cell structure, and hormone production. Lipids include all types of fats, from the olive oil we might use on our salad to the phospholipids that make up our cell membrane....
Why are fats nonpolar? Why are unsaturated fats supposedly better for us than saturated fats? What are the health effects of overconsumption of lipids? Why is saturated fat unhealthy? How are saturated and unsaturated fatty acids different? Explain the controversy surrounding fats in our food and...
Every cell in our body is protected by a cell membrane. The cell membrane is made out of fat. Lipids, which are made from fats, have water-loving and water-averse poles. This forms the structure of the membranes of our cells. These lipid layers operate much the same way as our skin ...
