What is fat?

• Fat is a _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

• Which simply means:Large molecules made up of smaller molecules linked together that are used to keep your body functioning

Other types are carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins, and nucleic acids

What is fat?

• Fat is also known as Lipids.• Fats are macromolecules that are able to

store unused energy (infinite storage).

• Why do we need lipids (fats), you ask?

Well let’s think about our body…

Our bodies are filled with H2O!

• And water, even in our bodies is still the U_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ S _ _ _ _ _ _.

Its dissolves almost everything.

Universal Solvent

Where are fats primarily found?

Surrounding cells! But why…

Water dissolves… Your brain uses electricity to tell you what to do…

Random yet useful….

Electrical Conductivity of oil:• Using controlled conditions an test was assembled together using a digital

volt/ohm/ammeter, a sample of engine oil, transmission oil, water and an automotive battery.

The three test liquids were put in paper cups. They were tested for continuity in the three samples with the ohmmeter starting with the lowest setting and progressively switching to the highest most sensitive settings.

Results: water passes current at some of the higher resistance settings while the 2 two respective oil samples did not have any continuity, even when the meter was on its most sensitive setting. This test was conducted multiple times and the expected result was obtained: electricity will flow thru water but the oil samples did not allow any measurable current to flow.

So in conclusion…

oil is in fact an insulator

Carbohydrates

Macromolecules that are used quickly for energy (limited storage).

ProteinsMacromolecules that are used for repair,

building, and chemical reactions (digestion).

Why does fat jiggle and muscle does not?

FatProtein

Nucleic acidsMacromolecules, such as DNA, that are

used to tell the body what to make (mitosis).
