Fats and Oils
- A common misconception about fats and oils is that they are the same, but the main difference is that oils are liquid at room temperature, while fats are solid.
- The primary function of fats and oils in the body is to provide energy and store it for later use.
- Trans fats are considered unhealthy because they can increase the risk of heart disease by increasing LDL ("bad") cholesterol and decreasing HDL ("good") cholesterol.
Lipids
- A primary function of lipids in the body is to provide energy and store it for later use.
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
- The primary function of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body is to provide energy for various cellular processes.
- A common misconception about adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is that it is a storage form of energy, when in fact it is a directly usable form of energy.
- The chemical composition of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a high-energy molecule consisting of adenine, ribose, and three phosphate groups.
- Cellular processes that directly involve adenosine triphosphate (ATP) include muscle contraction and protein synthesis.
