Q
  • Cannot be broken into smaller units since they do not react with water. There is no hydrolysis that results in no smaller units.

Component of biological membrane
Phosphoacylglycerols (phospholipids)
27
Lipid that is a monoester of long-chain carboxylic acids | and long chain alcohols
Waxes
28
Often found as markers on cell membranes and play a large role in tissue and organ specificity
Gangliosides
29
Major role in regulation of calcium and | phosphorus metabolism
Vitamin D

A fused-ring containing 3 six membered rings and 1 five membered ring (steroid nucleus)
Steroids
31
TF Phospholipid membranes with low conc. of cholesterol have a fluidity intermediate between crystal and crystal state

plays a crucial role in vision | when it is bound to a protein called
opsin
34
Metabolic precursor is arachidonic acid
