Qualitative Reactions of Lipids Flashcards
are biomolecules that are structurally poorer in oxygen but made up of carbon,
hydrogen and oxygen like carbohydrates.
lipids
groups of structurally different molecules that
are amphipathic in nature of which the majority is hydrophobic, however each molecule contains a
polar region
lipids
A molecule with both a polar and non-polar parts
amphiphatic
strongly determines the structures these
molecules assume in nature.
what part of lipid
hydrophobic
functions of lipids
structure
energy
energy storage
signaling (steroids and eicosanoids)
The
bulk of the mass of lipid molecules in a mammalian system are those found structurally in
cellular membranes
triacyglycerides
cholesterol ethers
are a major component of cellular membranes and can be divided into classes based on their
headgroup and further into species based on the acyl group composition
phospholipids
Based on the structure of lipid’s backbone, they are divided into two groups;
complex lipids
simple lipids
are esters of fatty acids.
complex lipids
example of complex lipids
acylglycerides, phospholipids, sphingolipids and waxes, fatty acids
complex lipids are e covalently joined via an
ester linkage to (3)
trihydroxy alcohol
glycerol
or its derivative
s are the major component of most foods, typically making up more than 95 to 99% of
the total lipids present
trigylceride
triacylglycerols
are mostly solid at room temperature and could raise the
level of bad cholesterol (Low density lipoprotein or LDL) which may pose potential health
consequences.
saturated lipids
r, are either monounsaturated or polyunsaturated
which are both liquid at room temperature, but only the polyunsaturated lipids remain liquid even
when chilled
unsaturated lipids
remain liquid even
when chilled
polyunsaturated lipids
are considered most desirable as they help increase the good
cholesterol (High density lipoproteins or HDL) in our body
monounsaturated fats
on the other
hand, could lower the overall cholesterol level, but they also reduce the good cholesterol (HDL).
polyunsaturated fats
