Explain two differences between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.Despite the negative attention they often receive, fats (and other lipid molecules) play an extremely important role in the
biochemical processes in our bodies.
Introduction:
Despite the negative attention they often receive, fats (and other lipid molecules) play an extremely important role in the
biochemical processes in our bodies. For this task, you will consider some of the biochemical roles of lipids (especially fatty
acids) and demonstrate how a complete lack of fat in the diet would affect these biochemical roles and human health in
general.
You should compile your work for this task in a single document (e.g., Microsoft Word, Google Document) that includes
diagrams, text explanations, and references. If a requirement asks for an explanation, you should provide a written
response in a narrative style (i.e., complete sentences rather than bullet points).
Note: Multimedia presentations (e.g., PowerPoint, Keynote) will not be accepted due to potential originality concerns.
Note: Please save submission documents as *.doc, *.docx, *.rtf, or *.pdf files. If you are using Google Documents, you must
save the file in *.pdf format and upload the *.pdf file.
Scenario:
You have been asked to help dietitians in a local community health center to better understand the importance of fat in the
diet and particularly how nofat
diets affect the biochemical processes of the body.
Requirements:
A. Explain how lipids, in the form of triglycerides, are broken down to produce ATP, including each of the following:
● the pathways involved in the breakdown
● the substrate(s) and end product(s) of the pathways
B. Explain two differences between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (not fats).
1. Create one original 3D
model to demonstrate the chemical structure of a saturated fatty acid.
2. Create one original 3D
model to demonstrate the chemical structure of an unsaturated fatty acid.
Note: Take a picture of your completed 3D
models as evidence that you created them. You can include the pictures as part
