Vocabulary


lipids organic molecule that dissolves in a non-polar solvent

Fatty Acids long carbon shain containing a
carboxylic acid at one end
Saturated no double bonds

unsaturated one or more double bonds

Simplified notation 14 0
: to describe molecule

polyunsaturated fatty contains 2 or more double bonds in a
single fatty acid Chain
acid (PUFA)

Omega system indicates the position of double bonds end opposite of -cont group

Triacylglycerol molecules that store energy
Oil physical state : (liquid) at room temp 25
%



fats physical state : (solid

, Module 5 1 . :
Lipids
lipids :
Molecules serve as the fat molecules in most organisms
energy
·




·


the basis for structure of cell walls

·


some serve as :


-

Vitamins-Vitamin K

-waxes for plants
·


play role in nervous system
nexant
·



Structure is diversed ↑
lipids organic : Molecule that dissolves in non-polar solvent

-
no standard set of compounds

hydrophobic (oils , fats , fatty acids , steriods, fat soluble Vitamins)
share characteristic physical property of non-polar
being
-




Ex) Carotenoid molecules : Possess vibrant colors

-
red color of Cardinal
-


yellow solor of yellow finch /zeaxanthin)
-zeaxanthin (found in pedobacter heparinus)
↳ protects bacterium from harmful effects of wrays .




Experiment :
·




hexane (non-polar solvant)
coconut oil (solid)
3 lipids
·




·


Olive oil Cliquid (
·


Water + food coloring
nexane + coconut oil-solid fat dissolved
H +
20 + 00 =
dissolved
hexane + (0 + 00 + wef) =
does dissolve


Functions :
cell membranes :
·




-



separate life us .
non life

organelle membrane
-




energy storage :
·




fats are most dense form of energy
really hydrophobic they
bic
storage they are
-




water
Push away so
they pack tightly
·


protection :
-


waxes for bees : plants
·

Vitamins :
-



specifically fat.solvable
-


Vitamin k (leaves)
