- Lipids- Saturated & Unsaturated
- Unsaturated
- In unsaturated lipids, the hydro carbon chain doesn't lay flat, it has kinks in it
- Saturated lipids do have double bonds between the carbon atoms. This what causes the kinks in the hydro carbon chain
- Unsaturated fats have a weak inter-molecular bonds because they don't lie flat or close together
- Unsaturated fats are not solid. For example, sunflower oil
- Unsaturated fats have a weak inter-molecular bonds because they don't lie flat or close together
- Saturated lipids do have double bonds between the carbon atoms. This what causes the kinks in the hydro carbon chain
- In unsaturated lipids, the hydro carbon chain doesn't lay flat, it has kinks in it
- Saturated
- In saturated fatty acids, the hydro carbon chain is long and straight
- Saturated lipids don't have any double bonds between the carbon atoms meaning that they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms
- Saturated lipids have strong inter-molecular bonds because they lie flat and straight
- Saturated fats are solids. For example, butter and lard
- Saturated lipids have strong inter-molecular bonds because they lie flat and straight
- Saturated lipids don't have any double bonds between the carbon atoms meaning that they contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms
- In saturated fatty acids, the hydro carbon chain is long and straight
- Mono-unsaturated= lipids that have one double bond between two carbon atoms in each fatty acid chain
- Poly-unsaturated= lipids that have more than one double bond
- Unsaturated
