LIPIDS (biological principle)

?
LIPIDS WITH FATTY ACIDS
Fats and oils (triglycerides), phospholipids
1 of 12
LIPIDS WITHOUT FATTY ACIDS
Steroids
2 of 12
FATTY ACIDS
Long hydrocarbon-chain carboxylic acids
3 of 12
SATURATED FATTY ACIDS
Have only C-C bonds, fit closely in a regular pattern, strong attractions between chains, have high melting points, solid at room temperature.
4 of 12
UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS
Have one or more C=C bonds, push each other apart creating irregular patterns, few interactions between chains, liquid at room temperature, low melting point

STRUCTURAL FORMULA OF GLYCEROL
Glycerol has a carbon skeleton of three carbon atoms with three OH (hydroxyl) groups attached to the carbons.
6 of 12
TRIGLYCERIDES
Triglycerides are hydrophobic esters of glycerol and fatty acids. Formed from glycerol C3H8O3 (a Hydrophilic molecule) And 3 fatty acids COOH(CH2)nCH3 (hydrophobic molecules)
7 of 12
ESTER BOND
An ester bond is the bond between an alcohol group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH), formed by the elimination of a molecule of water (H2O).
8 of 12
PHOSPHOLIPID
1) A lipid with one or more phosphate groups attached to it. (2) A lipid consisting of a glycerol bound to two fatty acids and a phosphate group.
9 of 12
HYDROPHILIC
LOVE WATER AND ARE POLAR
10 of 12
HYDROPHOBIC
RESISTANT TO WATER AND ARE NON-POLAR
11 of 12
STEROIDS
Steroids is four ring structures
