lipids Flashcards
simple lipids are
esters of long chain fatty acids linked with one molecule of glycerol ( trihydroxyalcohol/propane)
fatty acids
long chain hydrocarbon attached with carboxylic group
no of c in fatty acids
2-20
which are essential
saturated non and unsaturated essential
II. II
ghee ,butter mustard oil,coconut oil
name the saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
lauric =12c oleic acid=18c
myristic=14c linoleic acid=18c
palmitic=16c. linolenic acid=18c
stereic=18c arachidonic acid=20c
arachidic=20c
wax
monoesters of long chain fatty acids and long chain alcohol
in bee wax and spermaciti no of c in monohydroxy alchol and fatty acids
30c and 16c spermaciti is present in skull of whale and dolphin 16c + 16c
classification of compound lipids
- phospholipids and glycolipids
a. phosphotidylcholine-lecithin
b. cephalin =phosphotidylethanolamine
c. sphingolipid
lecithin and cephalin
cholin=amino alcohol and cephalin have=ethanol amine
cephalin occurs in
nervous tissue ,egg yolk and blood platelets
sphingosine is of
18c
sphingolipids are present in
myelin sheath of nerve cells
glycolipid
1fatty acid, 1 sphingosine ,galactose
cerebroside=white matter of brain
ganglioside= nerve ganglia and spleen
steriods
cyclopentanoperhydroxyphenanthrene nucleus
cholesterol and sterones
brain,nervous tissue ,adrenal gland ,skin and cell membrane
sex hormone,adreno corticoids,ecdyson hormone of insects
