New cards

what are 3 compound lipids?

glycolipids

phospholipids

lipoproteins

3
New cards

what are glycolipids?

lipids with CHO attached by a glycosidic bond

4
New cards

what is the function of glycolipids?

to maintain the stability of the cell membrane to facilitate cellular recognition, which is crucial to the immune response and allow cells to connect to one another to form tissues

5
New cards

what ate phospholipids?

made up of 2 fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone

6
New cards

what is the characteristic of phospholipids - solubility?

soluble in both oils and water

FAs make phospholipids soluble in oils

phosphate group allows them to dissolve water

7
New cards

phospholipids in food

naturally found in food

act as a emulsifier enabling oils to form a colloid with water
