PPT-Concept 3.4: Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic mole

Lipids do not form true polymers The unifying feature of lipids is having little or no affinity for water Lipids are hydrophobic because they consist mostly of hydrocarbons which form nonpolar covalent bonds. Lipids are relatively insoluble in water.. They are soluble in . nonpolar. solvents such as chloroform , diethyl ether, acetone, benzene and ether.. The hydrophobic (water hating) nature of lipids is due to the predominance of hydrocarbon chain.(-CH2-CH2-CH2-) in their structure. long term energy storage. concentrated energy. Lipids .

Use . the coefficients to predict the amount of reactant consumed or product formed. The ratio of the coefficients is a ratio of the moles taking part in a reaction.. Reactants (on the left of the arrow) are consumed. 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 .
