Lipids

define lipids

a broad group of organic compounds that are hydrophobic lipids have more C H than o and they have more energy than carbon

dehydration reaction of lipds

H2o is removed from the lipids

differentiate between mono-di, and triglycerides

monoglycerides have 1 fatty acid chain attracted to the glycerol molecule while diglycerides have 2,triglyceridesc have 3

saturated fats

has 1 carbon-carbon bond and solid at room temperature

unsaturated fat

contain 1 or more double bond (hence why there’s a double line in the picture) its a liquid at room temperature

phospholipids

a type of lipids, it forms the primary cell membrane structure, the chains are hydrophobic

how do phospholipids differ from triglycerides

phospholipids have a glycerol backbone and attracted to 2 fatty acid tails and 1 phosphate group while triglycerides have a glycerol backbone attached to 3 fatty acids group and no phosphate group.

steroids

structures of steroids are mostly flat and rigid

what are 2 functions of steroids in a cell and human body

the cell stablizes the membrane (homeostasis),essential component of animal and cell plasma

the building blocks of a lipids technically (because they don’t have any)

fatty acids and Glycerol

what kind of bond links fatty acids and glycerol

ester linkage

what are trans a cis fats

cis and trans fats are both unsaturated fats and have a double bond but trans fats hydrogen bond are both on opposite sides makin it look mor linear

what functional groups are both in fats and oils and phospholipids

they both have ketone but phospholipids have a phosphate group

Which part of the phospholipid is hydrophilic and which on is hydrophobic

The head is hydrophilic while the tails are hydrophobic
