PSC 3110 Fall semester 2008 Introduction Definition water insoluble compounds Most lipids are fatty acids or ester of fatty acid They are soluble in nonpolar solvents such as petroleum ether benzene chloroform. Chapter 29. 2. Lipids. are . biomolecules. that are soluble in organic solvents.. The identity of lipids is defined on the basis of a physical property and not by the presence of a particular functional group.. Lipids. Essential . macronutrients. Provide . energy.

Lipids. are a diverse group of molecules that contain regions composed almost entirely of hydrogen and carbon. All lipids contain large chains of nonpolar hydrocarbons. Most lipids are therefore hydrophobic and water insoluble. Learning Objectives. Learn what a triglyceride is.. Learn what a fatty acid is.. Learn the structure of a . phospholipid. .. Learn how lipids are tested for.. What is a lipid?. Like most other biochemical substances, lipids contain . Lipid chemistry . Lipid chemistry . Definition . Fats and Oils (triglyceride) . Waxes.

Write down Three reasons why you think Henry VIII had Six wives.. Learning Objective: . To learn why Henry VIII got married so often.. OFF WITH HER HEAD!. Write in your Books the title and date and underline with a ruler.. nonpolar. organic compound insoluble in polar solvent , but . soluble in organic solvents. such as benzene ,ether, chloroform.. Biological role of lipids. :. Lipids are found naturally in all living organisms.. Lipids are hydrophobic or amphipathic small molecules that may originate entirely or in part by carbanion-based condensations of thioesters (fatty acids, polyketides, etc.) and/or by carbocation-based condensations of isoprene units . What elements are Lipids composed of?. Carbon (C) . Hydrogen (H). Oxygen (O). A whole lot of Hydrogen!!!!!. Function in Living Organisms. Lipids usually serve one of three functions: . 1. Energy storage. Prof. Mamoun Ahram. Resources. This lecture. Lippincott’s Biochemistry, Ch. 15. What are lipids?. Lipids are heterogeneous, hydrophobic, compartmentalized in membranes, as droplets of triacylglycerol (TAG), or in lipoprotein (LP) particles or, or protein-bound. .
