Coconut Oil Fatty Acids Abstract Liquid crystals are fluids that are between the solid and conventional liquid phases. Liquid crystals are in widespread use‚ especially in optical technologies. They are synthesized by combining fatty acids with cholesterol. This study aims to utilize coconut oil as an alternative source of fatty acids for synthesizing liquid crystals since coconut is cheap and abundant in the Philippines. Coconut oil is 85 percent fatty acid. Introduction Be the first to know!

reasons the ketone diet is beneficial for treating inflammatory disease is because it reverses the effects of the SAD diet. August McLaughlin from Livestrong says‚ “High-glycemic carbs can cause blood sugar irregularities and trigger or worsen inflammatory responses.” (Carbohydrates and Inflammation). High carb diets are creating all of this metabolic derangement with inflammatory responses. Switching from the standard american diet to the ketogenic diet drastically improves symptoms of inflammatory

and G. Nicolson‚ is called the fluid mosaic model. This model depicts that proteins (integral and peripheral) form a mosaic since they are floating in a fluid layer of phospholipids‚ which makes up the components of the cell membrane (along with cholesterol). Each of these parts of the membrane enables it to be more efficient. The purpose of a cell membrane is to support and protect the cell‚ but also to control the movement of materials in and out of it. It is selectively permeable1‚ creates a barrier

in contact with the water surrounding the cell in its environment‚ since lipids are repelled by water. 20th century: Due to chemical analysis of isolated membranes‚ it was discovered that the membrane is largely made up of phospholipids and cholesterol. Digging deeper‚ it was revealed that phospholipids were amphiphilic: one head‚ which was soluble in water‚ and two tails‚ which would face inwards towards each other. This added to the bilayer remaining stable. 1934: A new model was proposed
