  • LIPIDS
    • TRI-GLYCERIDE
      • glycerol plus three fatty acids
      • compact energy store
      • insoluable in water
        • doesn't effect potential
    • PHOSPHO-LIPID
      • glycogen, two fatty acids and phosphate group
      • hydro-phillic head
        • interact  with water in and fluid out
      • hydro-phobic head
        • forms barrier
    • CHOLESTEROL
      • part hydro- phillic and and hydro-phobic
      • small
        • can fit in bi-layer to give stability and control fluidity
          • part hydro- phillic and and hydro-phobic
