Observations and Questions
[1] Closely examine the bands for the fish and nut samples.
Describe the overall appearance (number, intensity, and
distribution) of the bands for each test sample, the fish and nut
samples.
[2] How many bands do the fish and nut samples have in
common?
4. [3] Compare the standard bands with the bands on the TLC plate
that the two test samples have in common. Identify (name) the
lipids that the fish and nut samples have in common. Be specific
and refer to your results in Table I-1 above.
[4] For each of the fatty acids that the fish and nut samples have
in common, discuss which sample (fish or nut) contains the
greater amount of those fats. Hint: Refer back to your Procedure
I screenshot and note that the darkness of a band is an
indication of the amount.
[5] Which lipids are distinct, i.e., not in common, for the fish
and nut samples? In other words, how is the lipid compositio n
different between the fish and nut samples? Be specific and
refer to your results in Table I-1 above.
[6] Omega-3 fatty acids are associated with reductions in the
risks of cardiovascular disease, reduced inflammation, and a
healthy balance of LDL and HDL cholesterol. Based on your
results, can all three omega-3 fatty acids be obtained from fish?
Or from nuts? Discuss information from your Table I-1 results
and your TLC plate to explain how you arrived at your answer.

6. Observations and Questions
[7] Based on information you learned from the Background
material, what does the test of unsaturation reveal about the
structural biology of lipids?
[8] Think about your experience dispensing the drops in this
experiment. What is the nutritional significance of the ability of
the lipid samples to retain the color of the solution in the
dropper? For example, how does the colorization process
observed here help you to understand which lipids should be
more abundant in your diet and which should be less abundant?
[9] List the fatty acid samples (A-E) from lowest to highest
saturation. Label the lowest and highest. Discuss how
knowledge of, and experience with, the lipid saturation test can
be used to make decisions about the saturation ranks. BE
CAREFUL: This question is asking about ‘saturation.’
LOWEST SATURATION—

HIGHEST SATURATION—
7. [10] Based on your Procedure II results (Table II-1), identify
which fatty acid sample (A-E) corresponds to each fatty acid
(and its corresponding number of double bonds) given in Table
II-2 below.

8. [11] The fatty acid acronyms listed in Table II-2 all belong to
the omega fatty acid family. Conduct research or an internet
search to determine the corresponding omega-# identification
for each of the five fatty acids in the table. Add the
corresponding names to the rightmost column of Table II-2.
[12] Choose one of the omega fatty acid family members you
listed in Table II-2 to address questions (a) and (b) below. Cite
all sources used to answer the question.
(a) What are the known health benefits associated with
including this member of the omega fatty acid family as a
regular part of your dietary intake?
(b) Is the omega fatty acid member that you selected regarded
as an essential fatty acid? Explain your reasoning.

Allocate at least 3 hours to complete this field experience.
Use the “Clinical Field Experience B- ELA Pre-Assessment”

Part 1: Pre-Assessment and Implementation Pick the Book of
your Choice
During your previous observation in your field experience
classroom, you identified 3-5 students, above, at, or below
standard achievement who would benefit from additional
learning support. You also identified the standards and unit that
your mentor class is currently learning.
With this information, develop a pre-assessment in the English
Language Arts content area using the “ELA Pre-Assessment”
template. The pre-assessment must align with the standards and
unit that your mentor teacher shared with you during Clinical
Field Experience A. This pre-assessment can be oral, written, or
completed through technology. The pre-assessment should
identify how well selected students know the concept, and
provide data that would allow you to determine learning gaps
and needs in order to develop an appropriate lesson to support
learning needs.
Administer the pre-assessment that you created to the selected
group of students and use the data to prepare for the lesson plan
in Clinical Field Experience C. Create some data that you will
be able to use in Clinical Field Experience C.
Use the Common Core Standards for English Language Arts to
develop your pre-assessment.

Handout: Common Core Standards – First Grade Assessment
Common Core Standards – First Grade Assessment“Educational
standards are the learning goals for what students should know
and be able to do at each grade level. Education standards, like
Common Core are not a curriculum. Local communities and
educators choose their own curriculum, which is a detailed plan
for day to day teaching. In other words, the Common Core is
what students need to know and be able to do, and curriculum is
how students will learn it. The Common Core State Standards
are educational standards for English language arts
(ELA)/literacy and mathematics in grades K-12. Please click

Specific Learning Disability in Reading
A specific learning disability is a disorder in one or more of the
neural processes involved in using or comprehending language.
In other words, the brain connections dealing with spoken and
written language do not work the way they're supposed to.
43. These missed or disrupted connections can create difficulties
with speaking, listening, reading, writing, spelling, reasoning or
mathematical computations. (What is a Specific Learning

Discuss how lipids can be characterized based on electric
charge (polarity) of the fatty acid backbone
Explain how thin-layer chromatography works
Discuss how chemical reagents can be used to distinguish the
degree of unsaturation in lipids
Monounsaturated Fatty Acids and Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids
MUFA and PUFA sound like names of characters that might
appear in a version of Disney's Lion King. In the lipid story of
nutrition, MUFAs and PUFAs are the 'good guys.' MUFA is an
abbreviated way to say monounsaturated fatty acid while
PUFA refers to a polyunsaturated fatty acid, the heroes in the
tale of the 20-35% daily requirement of fat in the human
diet. Fatty acids come in many shapes and sizes, and these
differences are important to our health and can be studied
using a simple experimental design.

It is commonly accepted that salmon is a healthy fish to eat and
dietary intake recommendations include 3-7 servings per
week of salmon or other wild-caught fatty fish from cold,
northern oceans around the world.1 These fish are sources of
PUFAs, one of our fatty acid diet heroes that have anti -
inflammatory properties and even protect DNA from attack by
mutagenic agents.2 In the early 20th century, researchers
discovered that fat, particularly from these cold-water fish, was
75% of the native Alaskan Inuit diet. Additional research
revealed that the Inuits did not show any signs of heart disease,
joint disorders, or skin afflictions, which were ailments that
plagued citizens of the lower 48 states in the United States of
America.3 In the lower 48 states, more than 79 million U.S.
citizens have three or more risk factors for cardiovascular
disease and Type 2 diabetes, whereas none of the Inuits showed
signs of cardiovascular disease.4 To address this
public health epidemic, the United States Department of
Agriculture's 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans and
the National Academies Institute of Medicine set detailed
dietary reference intake recommendations for fat consumption.
Total fat intake each day should be no more than 20-35% of
daily calorie levels for adults; this range is referred to as the
Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR). In
addition to the range of fat consumption, the guidelines state
that the amount of daily saturated fat should be less than 10% of
70. fat consumed each day, while the essential fatty acids
omega-3 and omega-6 should be in the range of 1.1-1.6 grams
per day and 11-17 grams per day, respectively.
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are PUFAs and can be found
in cold-water fish as well as in walnuts, pecans, soybean
oil, and flaxseed oil.5 The other hero in the nutrition lipid story,
MUFAs, can be found in olive oil, sunflower oil, canola oil,
peanuts, walnuts, avocados, whole grains, and green leafy
vegetables. Unlike a Disney movie, the lipid good guys in the
nutrition story tend to mingle inextricably with many of the
other lipid players. Scientific evidence demonstrates that olive

71. peanuts, walnuts, avocados, whole grains, and green leafy
vegetables. Unlike a Disney movie, the lipid good guys in the
nutrition story tend to mingle inextricably with many of the
other lipid players. Scientific evidence demonstrates that olive
oil is one of the healthiest choices-if not the healthiest choice-
for cooking oil and salads.6 However, even a superhero
like olive oil is a diverse collection of lipids rather than a
single, 'good guy' mono-lipid. Olive oil is made up of several
different fatty acids. The distribution of these lipids in olive oil
is roughly 72% MUFAs, 10% PUFAs, and about 14%
saturated fat.7 Let's take a look at the distribution of lipid types
in a few other foods. See Table 1 below.8 As you can see,
irrespective of whether the source is animal or plant, MUFAs,
PUFAs, and saturated fats have been found to be present.
In this laboratory, you will explore how researchers learn about
the composition of lipids.

Lipids and Technology: How Do We Know the Composition and
Health Effects of Fats?
The composition of olive oil, other lipids, and all food sources
are studied using tools that have been engineered to
separate and extract the building blocks of these foods. Because
the building blocks of foods are essentially organic
chemicals, food technology makes use of chemical properties of
macronutrients such as reactivity and electronegativity
9,10 to study how the organic chemical components of food
relate to health outcomes For example an experiment can

chemicals, food technology makes use of chemical properties of
macronutrients such as reactivity and electronegativity
9,10 to study how the organic chemical components of food
relate to health outcomes. For example, an experiment can
be conducted over several years (these type studies are referred
to as longitudinal studies) to study the health benefits
or harm of eating meals cooked using cold-pressed extra virgin
olive oil versus meals cooked using chemically extracted
olive oil. In fact, several studies have been conducted involving
olive oil and have shown repeatedly that using extra
virgin olive oil, which retains all the natural lipids and
phytochemicals (antioxidants) of natural olive oil, is associated
with
better health outcomes than chemically extracted olive oils. As
a regular part of diets and in cooking, cold-pressed olive
oil reduces the percentage of heart attacks, leads to a decrease
in the number of genetic mutations in DNA, improves
74. endothelial function (which directly improves cardiovascular
circulation), lowers levels of glucose and lipids in the blood,
and confers several additional other health benefits.11 Equipped
with the outcomes from longitudinal studies, nutrition
science researchers can use technology to isolate and
characterize the composition of cold-pressed olive oil and
chemically extracted olive oil, determine how the two oils differ
in composition, and draw inferences (correlations) about
how the differing composition of the oils contributed to the
health outcomes data obtained in the longitudinal study.
Chromatography Technique
Nutrition science relies heavily on biotechnology to gain
insights about the composition, function, and health impacts of
lipids. Research studies use similar technology to study
nutrition in human participants as well as animal subjects.
Techniques in lipid analysis often include separation of lipids
into constituent parts and chemical extraction.12 A subset of
lipids are separable based on chemical polarity such as the
presence of alcohols, e.g., glycerol in triglycerides.

Separation of constituent parts is straightforward for polar
molecules such as salts and alcohols and can be slightly more
complex for lipids. Consider digestion: During lipid digestion in
the gastrointestinal tract, fatty foods are emulsified and
shuttled into the blood supply by a distinct mechanism that is
separate from processing stream for water-soluble foods
like carbohydrates and proteins. Fats are oily and do not mix
well with water. This 'oily' characteristic makes fats nearly
immiscible in water (unable to be mixed with water), but there
are techniques to increase immiscibility. For example, the
digestive system uses emulsification which is a way to break up
fats into tiny fat globules that can then float about in
water, suspended and flowing in the aqueous environment.
Researchers prepare fats for analysis by exposing them to
specialized reagents such as emulsifiers (e.g. lecithin) and
solvents (e.g. an acid-alcohol mixture) that first break up the
different fats in each test food, e.g. a researcher might want
to know about the constituent lipids in a piece of hamburger and
in a comparable amount of avocado, and, to begin the
analysis, each of these foods would be exposed to a solvent first
to aid in separating all the different fatty acids and lipid
subtypes in each test lipid.13
After chemical separation, the constituents of each fat can be
introduced to a number of other popular lipid analysis
techniques including thin-layer chromatography (TLC), high-
performance liquid chromatography, capillary
electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance,
and more. In this laboratory, you will have the
opportunity to use TLC to conduct your lipid analysis.

as a surface along which fluid and components of the samples

as a surface along which fluid and components of the samples
can flow. The chromatograph is referred to as the
stationary surface while the flowing liquid is the moving
phase.14 Lipids that tend to be more polar (more hydrophilic)
will
be more closely associated with the polar stationary
chromatographic plate (stationary phase), while less polar (more
hydrophobic) lipid constituents move along with the nonpolar
solution (moving phase).
To conduct the lipid analysis, a small sample of each lipid is
77. placed at the bottom edge of a chromatographic plate as
shown in Figure 1 below. Each constituent in the lipid sample
retains its own properties such as size and polarity
(whether polar (hydrophilic) or nonpolar (hydrophobic)). The
sheet is then placed in a container that has a small amount
of the moving phase solution (which can be a solvent that will
aid in separating the constituent lipids). As shown in Figure
1 below for three separate samples, each of the original samples
contains two separate components, red and blue, that
have separated over time and in space.

The content on a TLC plate also provides clues about the
relative abundance of different constituents in the test
samples. The intensity and thickness of bands on a TLC plate
are representative of the relative amounts of a constituent
in the sample (see Figure 2 below). In research studies,
separated bands are often subjected to additional techniques
such as mass spectrometry to further characterize the content in
each band. Essentially, the bands are exposed to
additional chemicals and solvents to precisely extract each of
them from the TLC plate. New techniques that use
spectroscopy and digital imaging processing are capable of
quantitative analysis (intensity, size, and content) of the
constituent bands on a TLC plate without extraction.15

Saturation, Carbon Bonds, and Chemical Reactivity
In addition to chromatography, another popular lipid research
tool is one that uses chemical elements called halogens to
serve as colorimetric indicators of the number of double bonds
(degree of unsaturation) in lipids. Interestingly, halogens,
such as iodine and bromine, can also be used to visualize the
bands of separated lipids on thin-layer chromatographic
plates due to the color characteristics of halogens.16 Halogens
are a highly reactive chemical species due to their
tendency to strongly attract electrons to completely fill their
outermost (valence) electron shell. Halogen reactivity has
been used in lipid analysis research to distinguish between
saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Double bonds in
unsaturated fatty acids chemically bind to iodine.17
Iodine reacts with double bonds in unsaturated oils and fats.
The colorimetric test for iodine and binding to bonds in
unsaturated fats and oils works, say, similar to absorption.
Iodine reacts with the double bonds and can be regarded as
absorbed into the lipid chemical structure. For example, when a
color halogen solution is added to a solution containing
unsaturated lipids, the color will appear initially but will fade
due to binding between the halogen and the double bonds in
the unsaturated lipid. The halogen becomes part of the lipid.
After adding the color halogen solution to the unsaturated
lipid many times the color ceases to fade an indication that the
iodine has bound with all available double bonds in the

lipid many times, the color ceases to fade, an indication that the
iodine has bound with all available double bonds in the
lipid solution. If halogens are added to a solution containing
saturated lipids, the lipid solution remains the color of the
halogen solution, i.e., no fading occurs. The iodine test is said
to be a test of unsaturation.
To quantify the unsaturation test, one approach is to count the
number of drops of halogen solution, e.g., iodine or
bromine, needed to retain the color intensity of the solution;
this serves as an objective measurement that all the double
bonds in the test lipid (oil or fat) have reacted with the iodine.

Procedure I Overview
In this procedure you will analyze lipid composition of samples
81. using thin-layer chromatography (TLC). TLC allows for the
separation of lipid components based on differences in lipid
component polarity. Less polar lipid components will travel
farther as the nonpolar solvent moves up the chromatography
plate. Known lipid standards (in lanes 1-3 of the
chromatography plate) will be compared to fish and nut
samples. Comparisons between the standards and samples
allows for identification of lipid components found in the
samples. Please see the Activity Form for details.
