How is palmitate that is produced from the conversion of carbohydrates to fatty acids transported to the adipose for storage?
Free fatty acids are excreted through the urine. Thus free fatty acids in the blood are transported by binding to plasma proteins such as albumin. They can easily cross through the membrane of adipocytes due to their lipid solubility. Inside the adipocytes, the free fatty acids are combined with glycerol to form triglycerides(the storage form of fatty acids).

how is palmitate that is produced from the conversion of carbohydrates to fatty acids transported to the adipose for storage? A) bound to albumin B) in a chylomicron C) in a VLDL D) as a free triacylglycerol E) in the form of palmitamide
1. Describe the processes by which fatty acids are transported in the blood, activated and transported into the matrix of the mitochondria for breakdown to obtain energy. (Specifically, determine the role of carnitine palmitoyl transferase in the oxidation of fatty acids.) 2. Explain the processes by which fatty acids are released from triacylglycerol stored in adipose tissue. 3. Outline the β-oxidation pathway by which fatty acids are metabolized to acetyl-CoA and explain how this leads to the production of large...
Explain and diagram how fatty acids are transported into the mitochondria for oxidation.
Chylomicrons are---- a) comprised of disaccharides and free fatty acids b)micelles that are transported from the intestinal cells to blood stream c)micelles that are transported from the intestinal lumen to intestinal cells d)comprised of apolipoproteins, triglycerides and cholesterol
An experimenter studying the oxidation of fatty acids in extracts of liver found that when palmitate (16:0) was provided as substrate, it was completely oxidized to CO2. However, when undecanoic acid (11:0) was added as substrate, incomplete oxidation occurred unless he bubbled CO2 through the reaction mixture. The addition of the protein avidin, which binds tightly to biotin, prevented the complete oxidation of undecanoic acid even in the presence of CO2, although it had no effect on palmitate oxidation. Explain...
What is the common product formed during metabolism from Protein (amino acids), Lipids(fatty acids) and carbohydrates(glucose) (a) Pyruvate (b) Acetyl COA (c) Citrate (d) Acetate O a.(a) b. (b) c. (c) d.(d)
1. ---------- is the conversion of glucose for storage 2. What would you tell a bodybuilding friend consuming excess dietary protein to build muscle and fuel her workouts? select all that apply a. excess amino acids can contribe to weight gain b. excess amino acids are converted into glucose stored as glycogen c. excess amino acids are not stored in the body as protein d. excess amino acids are converted into fatty acids and stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue...
Tripalmitin is a triacylglyceride whose 3 fatty acid chains are all palmitate. Palmitate is a saturated fatty acid, which has 16 carbons in its chain including the carbonyl carbon. How many electrons will ultimately go to the electron transport chain as a result of the complete catabolism of 1 molecule of tripalmitin? In your answer, indicate where the electrons are coming from (e.g. 2 electrons from NADH generated during glycolysis, 10 electrons transferred directly via ETF to the electron transport...
Why would it be advantageous to plants to be able to get acetyl-CoA from fatty acids? -Fatty acids are the macromolecule most easily taken up by the roots of the plant -Plants lack the ability to synthesize carbohydrates -Energy derived from photosynthesis primarily comes in the form of fatty acids -Seeds have a limited amount of space and fatty acids are the most energy dense macromolecule
