Metabolically is fat storage catabolic or anabolic?

Metabolically,fat synthesis is anabolic,while fat storage is neither anabolic nor catabolic.


Is fat solidifying in a chip pan a chemical reaction?

Yes, this is a chemical reaction in the sense that a lowering of the temperature causes fat to move from a more liquid form to a more solid form.


Why is the hydrolysis of fat called saponification?

The term "Saponification" is an indication of what this reaction originally was used for: making soap. By boiling animal fat or lard with either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, the reaction, hydrolysis, produced glycerol and soap.


Is fat-soluble to sodium hydroxide?

You will start a soaponification reaction, i.e., you will form a fatty soap.


List and define three categories of chemical reactions?

CHEMICAL reactions can be classified into categories;SYNTHESIS REACTIONIn a synthesis reaction two or more simple substances combine to form a more complex substance. Two or more reactants yielding one product is another way to identify a synthesis reaction.For example, simple hydrogen gas combined with simple oxygen gas can produce a more complex substance-----water!The chemical equation for this synthesis reaction looks like:reactant + reactant -------> productTo visualize a synthesis reaction look at the following cartoon:In the cartoon, the skinny bird (reactant) and the worm (reactant) combine to make one product, a fat bird.DECOMPOSITION REACTIONIn a decomposition reaction a more complex substance breaks down into its more simple parts. One reactant yields 2 or more products. Basically, synthesis and decomposition reactions are opposites.For example, water can be broken down into hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. The chemical equation for this decomposition reaction looks like:reactant -------> product + productTo visualize a decomposition reaction look at the following cartoon:In this cartoon the egg (the reactant), which contained the turtle at one time, now has opened and the turtle (product) and egg shell (product) are now two separate substances.SINGLE REPLACEMENT REACTIONIn a single replacement reaction a single uncombined element replaces another in a compound. Two reactants yield two products. For example when zinc combines with hydrochloric acid, the zinc replaces hydrogen. The chemical equation for this single replacement reaction looks like:reactant + reactant ---------> product + productTo visualize a single replacement reaction look at the following cartoon:Notice, the guy in the orange shirt steals the date of the other guy. So, a part of one of the reactants trades places and is in a different place among the products.DOUBLE REPLACEMENT REACTIONIn a double replacement reaction parts of two compounds switch places to form two new compounds. Two reactants yield two products. For example when silver nitrate combines with sodium chloride, two new compounds--silver chloride and sodium nitrate are formed because the sodium and silver switched places. The chemical equation for this double replacement reaction looks like:reactant + reactant ---------> product + productTo visualize a double replacement reaction look at the following cartoon:ENERGY OF CHEMICAL REACTIONSChemical reactions always involve a change in energy. Energy is neither created or destroyed. Energy is absorbed or released in chemical reactions. Chemical reactions can be described as endothermic or exothermic reactions.Endothermic ReactionsChemical reactions in which energy is absorbed are endothermic. Energy is required for the reaction to occur. The energy absorbed is often heat energy or electrical energy. Adding electrical energy to metal oxides can separate them into the pure metal and oxygen. Adding electrical energy to sodium chloride can cause the table salt to break into its original sodium and chlorine parts.Exothermic ReactionsChemical reactions in which energy is released are exothermic. The energy that is released was originally stored in the chemical bonds of the reactants. Often the heat given off causes the product(s) to feel hot. Any reaction that involves combustion (burning) is an exothermic chemical reaction.

Functions of neutral fats?

Neutral fat is a byproduct of dehydration synthesis which is a chemical reaction involving the loss of a water molecule. Dehydration synthesis is performed on one or more fatty acids. Neutral fats are found in parts of the body use for padding in insulation like the thighs and torso.
