INFORMATION
Lipids (fats)
Animal fat (solid @ room temp)Plant oils (liquid @ room temp)
Main Function: long-term energy storage
Special Feature: contain more energy per gram than any other biological molecule (9 cal/g)
Groupings: Mostly C and H atoms (hydrocarbons)
Types: 1. Fats and oils 3. Steroids2. Phospholipids

Fats and oils are called triglycerides because of their structure

Types of Fatty Acids
Taking a perfectly good fat and making it bad!
Addition of hydrogen atoms to the acid, causing double bonds to become single ones. (unsaturated becomes saturated) LDL HDL
Fat derivatives in which one fatty acid Fat derivatives in which one fatty acid has been replaced by a phosphate has been replaced by a phosphate group and one of several nitrogen-group and one of several nitrogen-containing molecules.containing molecules.
an important part of the cell membrane an important part of the cell membrane (phospholipid bilayer)(phospholipid bilayer)
Phospholipids
The phospholipid can also be represented as:
Polar Head – hydrophilic (water-loving)
Non-Polar Tails (fatty acids) – hydrophobic (water-hating)
Phospholipids
