Cholesterol in the membrane:
Decreases permeability and increases fluidity
Why are lipids transported in lipoproteins
Because lipids are not water soluble
4 Types of lipids
Fats (triglycerides)
Steroids (lipids that do not contain fatty acids like cholesterolm testosterone)
Phospholipids (glycerol + phosphate + two fatty acids)
Waxes ( alcohol with fatty acid is water proof)
Saturated vs unsaturated
Saturated: No double bond, causes less fluidity
Unsaturated: Cis or Trans, double bond, causes more fluidity. Cis causes more fluidity than Trans.
Trans and saturated fats are the ”bad fats”
