Lipids Flashcards
important energy-storage molecules
Fats
building blocks of fats?
glycerol
fatty acid
how many carbons does glycerol have?
3
how many carbons does fatty acid have?
14-18 or 14-20
depending if it is saturated and unsaturated
2 classification of a fatty acid
unsaturated
saturated
_____ test is used to detect the presence of glycerol or fat
Acrolein Test
smallest units of Lipids?
Fatty Acids
single-bonded fatty acid
Saturated
has two or more double bond fatty acid
Unsaturated
c10-c20 is?
Saturated FA
c18 and c20 is?
Unsaturated FA
has even number of carbon atoms
acetic acid
low melting point
Unsaturated
found in vegetable oils
unsaturated
most abundant in animal fats
saturated
e.g. Coconut oils, Beef tallow…
saturated
high melting point
saturated
e.g. avocado oil, peanut oil, olive oil
unsaturated
Fats that can be found in marine animals?
Omega 3
greek word
eikosi?
eicosanoids
eikosi translates to 20
T or F
Lipids are soluble to H20
False
they are INSOLUBLE IN NATURE
Organic Solvents?
Acetone, Alcohol, Methyl Chloroform
Lipids are Soluble here
what do you call when the lipids and water doesn’t mix with each other?
edi tipaklong
choz
Micells daw

kaya keto diet is born
T or F
Lipids are homogenous
False
what type of organic solvent is this?
O || / \
Acetone
simplest ketone
Acetone
Oxygen Bonded with 2 carbons
/\o/\
Ether
Cl
|
/ \
Cl Cl
Choloroform
more common organic solvent
T or F
Lipids is Amphiphatic in nature. Hydrophobic head & Hydrophilic tail
1st statement is true
2nd Statement is false
HydroPHILIC = Head
HydroPHOBIC = Tail
T or F
if the nonpolar tail is longer it has more interaction to organic solvents
T
Lipis Funnctions
- for Energy
- structural component
- insulation
- coating
- vitamins precusor (cholesterol)
- chemical signals
2 Clasification of Lipids
Open chain
FA, Triacylglycerol, Phosphoacylgcerol, Sphingolipids, Glycolipids
Fused Ring
Cholesterol, Steroid, Bile Acids
type of lipid that can we find in processed foods?
FA, saturated and unsaturated
T of F
Cis- hydrogen atoms in the carbon are in the opposite Side
Trans - hydrogen atoms in the carbon is in the same side
False
Cis-same side
Trans- opposite side
T or F
Unsaturated occurs in Cis Conformation
T
