Lipid-soluble vitamins
Details: Description
Some vitamins are soluble within our adipose tissue (for example, fat cells). Too much lipid-soluble vitamin intake can be toxic to the human body.
Objectives
CO 1: Discuss the importance of chemistry in our society.
CO 10: Analyze the relationship between matter and energy and its implications.
CO 11: Apply the basic rules of organic nomenclature to convert between structures and name.
CO 12: Predict the physical properties of organic chemicals based on their structures.
CO 13: Analyze the influence of structure and physical properties of organic molecules on their biological properties.
MO 1: Describe cell structure and metabolism.
MO 3: Describe the coenzyme’s role in metabolic pathways.
MO 4: Describe metabolic reactions of glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, electron transport, oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid oxidation and amino acid degradation.
Instructions
Step 1: Respond to the following: Look up the structures for vitamins A, D, and E. Compare them to a water-soluble vitamin, such as vitamin C. Given the structures for A, D, and E, why would these vitamins be attracted to lipids? Why does vitamin C prefer a hydrophilic environment? Finally, list one side effect of taking too much vitamin D for too long a period of time.
