Question Type: Essay
67) How do the structures of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids differ?
Answer:
Difficulty: Easy
Solution: Saturated fats have the maximum number of hydrogen ions possible bound to
the carbon atoms in the molecule and there are no carbon-carbon double bonds.
Unsaturated fats have one or more carbon-carbon double bonds and therefore contain
fewer hydrogen atoms.
68) What is hydrogenation and why do food manufacturers use hydrogenated fats in food
production?
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Solution: Hydrogen atoms are added to the double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids during
the manufacturing process, making them more saturated. Hydrogenated fat is less
susceptible to oxidation, increasing the shelf life of a product that contains it.
Hydrogenation also changes the melting point, making liquid fats more solid at room
temperature.
69) Explain the steps of lipid digestion.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
triglycerides.
Solution: Lipid digestion begins with the action of lipases in the mouth and stomach;
however, the primary site of digestion is the small intestine. Bile, made in the liver and
secreted by the gallbladder, emulsifies fat which makes it possible for lipase from the
pancreas to more effectively cleave fatty acids from glycerol. The fatty acids,
monoglycerides, cholesterol and other fat soluble substances mix with bile to form
micelles, which then enter the mucosal cells of the small intestine.
70) Explain why lipoproteins are necessary for lipid transport.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
cells.
Solution: Lipids are not water soluble. Lipoproteins envelope the insoluble fatty acids
and cholesterol within a hydrophilic protein and phospholipid shell that is soluble in
aqueous blood, thus acting as a transport system for triglycerides, cholesterol and fat
soluble vitamins.
71) Explain what happens after lipids are digested and absorbed into the intestinal cell.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
Learning Objective 2: LO 5.3.2 Explain how micelles facilitate lipid absorption.
Solution: Short and medium chain fatty acids and glycerol can be transported directly
into the blood. Long chain fatty acids are reassembled into triglycerides in intestinal cells
and these molecules along with cholesterol are formed into lipoprotein particles called
chylomicrons. Chylomicrons are transferred into the lacteals of the lymphatic system and
eventually enter the blood. They do not pass through the liver before entering the blood.
72) Explain the function of pancreatic lipase, lipoprotein lipase and hormone sensitive
lipase.
Answer:
Difficulty: Medium
triglycerides.
Solution:
Pancreatic lipase breaks down triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerol in the lumen of
the small intestine.
Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is found on the membranes of cells that form the lining of blood
vessels. LPL interacts with lipoproteins to remove triglyceride from the core and break
them down into fatty acids and glycerol for absorption into cells.
Hormone sensitive lipase is an enzyme in adipose cells that will breakdown triglycerides
that are stored there for release into the bloodstream when energy is required.
73) Explain the events that cause the buildup of cholesterol and plaque formation in
arterial walls. Why do antioxidant nutrients help slow this process?
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
atherosclerosis.
Solution:
1. The artery wall is damaged. Possible causes are hypertension, elevated blood glucose,
smoking, infections, or free radicals.
2. LDLs enter the injured arterial wall via a means other than LDL receptor, and are
modified, often being oxidized
3. Oxidized/modified LDL attracts white blood cells called macrophages into the artery
wall; macrophages take up the modified LDL via scavenger receptors and are eventually
converting to a foam cell.
4. As foam cells accumulate, plaque is formed.
Antioxidants may reduce the oxidation of LDL and therefore prevent the accumulation of
foam cells in the artery wall.
74) Epidemiologists compared heart disease and cancer rates from 2 different
communities. One community had significantly lower rates of heart disease, colon
cancer and breast cancer than the other. After eliminating many risk factors associated
with these diseases, the researchers believe that the high incidence of heart disease and
cancers may in part be due to dietary practices. As a follow-up, researchers would like to
conduct interviews to evaluate dietary practices within each community. What dietary
practices would you investigate and why?
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Solution: Dietary practices that protect against cancer and heart disease are similar and
are focused on decreasing total and saturated fat and intake, especially from animal
sources, and increasing the intake of plant foods. Therefore, the dietary practices that
would be of interest are:
-types of plant foods and relative proportion of total caloric intake from groups of plant
foods
-the way in which those foods are prepared
-the relative proportion of fat kcal to total kcal intake
-sources (types) of dietary fat
75) A new dietary recommendation promoted to help reduce a person’s risk of developing
heart disease is to consume fish on a regular basis. What is the physiological basis for
this recommendation?
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Learning Objective 2: LO 5.7.3 Choose heart-healthy foods from each section of
MyPlate.
Solution: Fish is a rich source of the omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. These fatty
acids contribute to the production of eicosanoids in the body that help to reduce blood
pressure and decrease inflammation. They may also lower blood triglyceride levels. All
of these protect against heart disease.
76) Discuss the relationship between the amount of fat in the diet and the incidence of
obesity.
Answer:
Difficulty: Hard
Learning Objective 2: LO 5.6.4 Explain how dietary fat intake is related to obesity.
Solution: Fat contains twice as many kcalories as carbohydrates and protein. Fat has a
lower satiety factor than carbohydrates or proteins. Additionally, the body converts
excess energy from dietary fats to energy stores more efficiently than excess energy from
carbohydrates or proteins. However, research supports the fact that it is excess kcalorie
consumption that promotes weight gain and not the specific composition of the diet that
will promote obesity. It is important to choose foods that provide more mono- and
polyunsaturated fatty acids for the prevention of specific diseases; however, to manage
weight, one should balance kcalorie intake with energy output.
