Lipids Flashcards
Lipids
Fats, Oils, waxes
Hydrophobic
Don dissolve in water (Non-Polar)
Lipids Functions
Long Term Energy
Insulation (warmth)
Cushions Organs
Make cell membrane
Fat
A large lipid made from two kinds of smaller molecules
- glycerol
- Fatty acids
Ratio
C6, H110, O6
Monomer
Triglyceride
Flag
- l-Glycerol
- Flag part- Fatty acid
Look in notes
Types of Lipids
Saturated Fat
Unsaturated Fat
Phospholipids
Striods
Saturated Fat
Unhealthy Fats
Animal fat- Solids at room temp
No double Bonds
Unsaturated Fat
Healthy Fats
Plants- Liquids at Room temp
Has one double bond (kinks chain)
Saturated Fat ex
bacon fat, butter
Unsaturated Fat Ex
Oils
Phospholipids
Cell Membrane
2 fatty chains and one phosphate group
Phospholipids (2 parts)
Phosphate Head
Lipids Tail
Phosphate Head
Hydrophilic/ polar
Ex. 0
Lipids Tail
Hydrophobic/ non-polar
Ex. VVVVV
