Answer:

There are three types of lipids in the body, triglycerides, phospholipids and sterols.

Explanation:

Triglycerides are also known as triacylglycerols and compose 95% of fat in the foods we eat. Triglycerides are also the main fats we store in our body. When you pinch an inch around your waist, you are pinching triglycerides.

Phospholipids bring water and fat together and are called emulsifiers. Phospholipids make up cell membranes and lipid carrier molecules.

Sterols are found in tissues of animals and plants. The most well known sterol in our body is cholesterol. Cholesterol makes up bile, hormones and vitamin D.

Are fermentation reactions intracellular or extracellular? Explain.
kenny6666 [7]

Answer: Yes.

Explanation:

Fermentation is a general term denoting anaerobic degradation of glucose or other organic nutrients in various products to obtain energy in the form of ATP. Fermentation occurs when, after glycolysis, the Krebs cycle is not performed, because the organism does not have it or because this pathway is blocked, such as during hypoxia (lack of oxygen). Fermentation is a process used by bacteria to obtain energy, does not use oxygen and occurs in the cytoplasm of cells, ie an intracellular process, and each step is catalyzed with the help of different enzymes.

Some industries use this process in the production of some products, known to all of us, such as:

1. yogurt is produced by the famous lactic fermentation, where bacteria called lactobacilli to produce lactic acid.

2. bread and beer are produced by alcoholic fermentation, where the fermentation is carried out by fungi (facultative anaerobic), which ultimately produce alcohol;

3. vinegar to that produced by acetic fermentation, which consists of a chemical reaction, where partial oxidation of ethyl alcohol occurs, obtaining acetic acid.
