Chem ch 23 Flashcards
lipids - soluble in what?
naturally occurring, nonpolar, insoluble in water. soluble in organic solvent
types of lipids (wtfgsse like lipids)
- fatty acids
- waxes
- triacylgylcerols aka triglcerides)
- gylcerophospholipids
- spingolipids
- sterols
- eicosanoids
fatty acids - box the fat (how many carbon - fatty these years)
a long chain of carboxylic acids, straight chain, usually 12-20 carbons.
2 types of fatty acids
saturated fatty acids (SFAs) or unsaturated fatty acids (one or more double bond - USFAs)
waxes (waxes like ester, acid and alcohol)
It’s just an ester. acid + alcohol = ester and H2O, ie. long chain acid + long chain alcohol
triacylgylcerols aka (triglcerides)
triester of glycerol (just 3 carbons with
O
||
CH3-O-C attached)
gylcerophospholipids
has phosphate group on one carbon. Has a charged phosphate group. called diester lipid - also component of cell membrane
spingolipids - polar or no polar? (spring in the pool)
these are polar - they have polar and nonpolar head
types of spingolipids (2) (sping is smart sugar)
sphingomyelin
glycolipids
sterols (CHB steroids)
4 rings. 1) cholesterol, 2) bile salts, 3) hormones
eicosanoids (echo - 24/7)
signaling molecules. arachiodonic acid - 20 carbons with 4 double bonds
fatty acids - saturated
no double or triple bond
saturated fatty ACIDS - examples (saturated LMPS in laura)
lauric acid
myristic acid
palmitic acid
stearic acid
2 types of unsaturated fatty acids - aka monounsaturated fatty acids
one double bond
unsaturated fatty acids - 2 numbers mean…
carbon 1st and number of bonds 2nd
essential unsaturated fatty acids (lin uncool)
linoleic acid and linolenic acid
omega 3 (and how many carbons?) (the omega is down by 14-1)
14-1 (1 is the number of bonds, if you’re naming it this way), first double bond away from carboxylic group is on carbon 3. Can be named 14-1 fatty acid. IT could be 14-2 omega 3, also, just wherever the first double bond is.
omega 6
first double bond away from carboxylic group is on carbon 6
waxes (wax evenly, ester is waxy) - What is the Rule???
fatty acids ester. R has to be even number of carbon (waxes don’t have odd #s) R prime is 24-36 carbons. R is 16-36 carbons
function of waxes
protecting coating on fruits, leaves, animal skin or fur and aquatic birds
ester will have a..
COO in it
triacylglycerols - 2 major classes (try animals or veggies)
animal fat or vegetable oil. They are triester (3) of glycerol.
R, R prime, R double prime are…
vegetable oil, are unsaturated
animal fat (saturate the animals)
mostly saturated fatty acids
function of triacyclglycerols (store the tricycle)
used as longterm storage of energy. can provide a thermal insulation, and protective padding.
reactions of fatty acids (think saturated and non)
hydrogenation and hydrolysis
partial hydrogenation is bad..
because it creates trans fat, it is harder to digest due to higher melting point
hydrolysis of triacyleglycerols (water splits it down the middle)
THIS IS IN ACIDIC SOLUTION. the result is glycerol + 3 fatty acids.
O
||
The CH2-O-C-R group is just split in half and you’re left with a gylcerol and 3 fatty acids.
hydrolysis of triagylcerols in basic solution (basic tricycle makes basic soap)
soap - in basic solution it’s called saponification
saponification (soap needs water - think 3 glycerol soap)
hydrolysis of triagclyglycerols in basic solution
phospholipids
(most important)
sphingomyelin (sphingosine)
nerve fiber and brain tissue
glycolipids
a phospholipids with a fatty acid bonded on carbon #2, NH2 and a sugar on C1 (OH) group on sphingosine. cell membrane
sterols (cb for steroids)
- cholesterol
- bile salt (essential for digestion of fats and oils
for emulsification of fats. formed in the liver, stored in gall bladder, released in small intestine)
cholesterol
be able to identify it
mineralocorticoids (to the mines)
involved with maintaining the salt balance in the body. simulates absorption of Na by kidneys.
hormones with sterol nucleus (think roid and you know the last one)
- mineralocorticoids (ex. aldosterons)
- glucocorticoids
- sex hormones
glucocorticoids (it’s in the name)
cortisone (anti-inflammation) involved in metabolism of carbohydrates/protein/fat. they have anti-inflammatory activity.
sex hormones
lipids
1. testosterone
2. androsterone
affect sexual development or reproduction
cell membrane structure
lipid bilayer composed of 2 parallel sheets of lipid molecules arranged tail to tail.
main components of cell membrane (PLLG the membrane) think protein
lipids, protein, gylcoprotein, lipoprotein
2 types of protein in cell membrane
- peripheral protein
2. integral protein
3 types of transport
simple diffusion (passive), active transport, facilitated diffusion
simple diffusion
high to low concentration, CO2, O2, NO - use simple. small mostly non-polar.
active transport
low concentration to high concentration. This uses ATP
facilitated diffusion
ie - glucose. needs to go from high to low concentration using protein channels. no energy is needed.
how to tell if it’s a reducing sugar or not
if it has a free C=O-O or a C-H=O
hemiacetals have an…
OH group, acetals just have 2 O groups
