functions of lipids
secondary storge source
storing fat soluble vitamins
covers stuff to enter membrane
hormones (steroid)
thermal insulator
fat less dense that water that’s why seals float their covered in lipids
surround kidney
ear wax repels water
proteins
R group changes with each amino acid
peptide bond of amino acids
teritary is enzymes
quantery is hemoglobin
