What would be the physical state of this fatty acid at room
temperature? CH3(CH2)15COOH
(1/1 Points)
Liquid
Solid
The correct answer is, "Solid." It is a long-chain saturated fatty acid. Long-chain fatty
acids have more than 12 carbon atoms, and they have no double bonds. Since the chain
is so long, it is a solid at room temperature and stacks well.
Bilayer
Phospholipid

Individuals with long-chain 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD)
deficiency are unable to break down long-chain fatty acids. Which of
the following is true for these patients?
(0/1 Points)
During fasting, these individuals will produce excessive amounts of ketone bodies.
They should avoid intake of carbohydrates and instead focus on a high-fat diet.
The correct answer is, "They should ensure that they eat frequently so that their body
has adequate supplies of glucose." Individuals that are not able to breakdown lipids
should limit their intake of lipids and consume more protein and carbohydrates instead.
They should ensure that they eat frequently so that their body has adequate
supplies of glucose.
They will break down CH3(CH2)8CH=CH(CH2)10COOH without a problem.

Newborns are tested for a variety of metabolic disorders including
Familial Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency, which is a disease in which the
gene that codes for Lipase is deficient. Lipase is the enzyme that
breaks down triglycerides. Which of the following would be true for an
individual with Familial Lipoprotein Lipase Deficiency?
(1/1 Points)

Triglycerides could not be broken down to release glucose in response to glucagon
signaling.
Gluconeogenesis could not occur and glucose would have to be taken in from the
individual's diet.
Amino acids could not be broken down to acetyl-CoA which decrease ATP formed by
the electron transport chain.
