Saponifiable Lipids:fatty acids
Define Amphipathic
fatty acids are amphipathic molecules with G.F:(CH3-(CH2)n-COOH)(1<n<21)
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.
Fill in the blanks
Fatty acids …… Occur as free molecules.They are …..
1)rarely/sparingly
2)esterified
esterified:linked by an ester bond
Fill in the blank
Unsaturated Fatty acids have atleast one ……….
Unsaturated Fatty Acids are mainly founds in Plants.
Usually liquid at room temperature ex:olive oil
Double bond
up to six double bonds
Fill in the Blank
Saturated Fatty acids are solid at room temperature and are usually of ….. cells
SFA examples are Butyric acid/Myristic/Palmitic acid
animal
FattyAcids are highly energetic and oxidized in mitochondria+peroxisomes
transformed into H2O and CO2
Answer the question
How are Triglycerides formed?
triglycerides are diverse
Glycerol+3Fatty acids=Triglycerides(neutral since they lack polar groups)they are stored in adipose tissue as energy reserve.
Fill in The Blanks
Phospholipids form the basic structure of cell membranes.They have …..Polar head and …..hydrophobic tail.
large-long
phospholipids are diverse
Answer the question
Two groups of phospholipids are:
Glycerol-derived phospholipids and Sphingosine-derived phospholipids.
Answer the question
Phospholipid is=
phospholipid=x+y
Phospholipid=phosphate+2fattyacid+X
where x can be choline-ehtanolamine …
Fill in the blank
Sphingolipids do….contain glycerol
not
glycolipids coat …..
plasma membrane
The structural difference between glycoplipids and phospholipids is:
presence of sugar motif instead of phosphate.
2 types of glycolipids are:
glycerol derived glycolipids
shpingosine derived glycolipids
glycerol for plants
sphingosine for animals
Simplest glycolipid is Cerebrosides which are made of:
simple oses and lipid
What are Cerides?
abundant in cork and bee wax
ex:Cetylic alcohol
Cerides are esters of fatty acids with fatty alcohol
fatty alcohol is long hydrocarbon tail ended by a hydroxyl group OH.
