Lordosis â Abnormal lordosis is an abnormal curvature of the normal curvature of the spine. This can occur when the lumbar and cervical curvatures are over-pronounced, and can cause extreme pain or discomfort. Lordosis itself can refer to either normal or abnormal curvature of the spine. Scoliosis â Scoliosis is the complete abnormality of the curvature of the spine. With this condition, the spine curves from side to side, often resulting in unbalanced posture and muscle development.
Major Constituents of Fats and oils: Chemistry of Triglycerides and Fatty Acids 3. Reactions of Fats and Oils 4. Minor Constituents of Fats and Oils 5. Conclusion. Introduction Fats and oils are biochemical units synthesized by plants and animals and made up of mostly carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements. They are the most calorie-dense of all the nutrients found in foods: ~9kcal/g and contribute roughly 30-50% of our daily calorie intake.
Fats and oils both comes under the class of molecules called lipids (non-polar biological molecule insoluble in water). Fats and oils are simple lipids that is both are formed by esters of fatty acids with glycerol (a glycerol molecule linked by ester bonds to 3 fatty acids). Both are same chemically. The major differences are: 1) fats are solid at room temperature where oils are liquid at room temperature 2) fats are more saturated (more number of single bonds between its carbon atoms) compared to oils 3) fats are generally an animal product where as oils are often a plant derived product.
