Q

Saponifiable Lipids:fatty acids

Define Amphipathic

fatty acids are amphipathic molecules with G.F:(CH3-(CH2)n-COOH)(1<n<21)

A

Amphipathic molecule like fatty acids have long hydrocarbon chains(non-polar,hydrophobic and unbranched that end with COOH(carboxyl group)that is polar and hydrophilic.

Answer the question

How are Triglycerides formed?

triglycerides are diverse

A

Glycerol+3Fatty acids=Triglycerides(neutral since they lack polar groups)they are stored in adipose tissue as energy reserve.
