PPT-Lipids of Physiologic Significance

Lec 9 Dr Shaimaa Munther Lipids Lipids are a heterogeneous group of compounds including fats oils steroids waxes and related compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in an organic solvent eg ether benzene acetone chloroform. Lipids are….. It can be defined as . nonpolar. organic compound insoluble in polar solvent , but . soluble in organic solvents. such as benzene ,ether, . chloroform.. Biological role of lipids. :. 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. Lipids are non-polar. (hydrophobic) . organic compounds, insoluble in water, . soluble in organic . solvents (ether, acetone, . carbontetrachloride. ). . They contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; sometimes nitrogen and phosphorus. . Fats and Oils. Classification of Nutrients. Carbohydrates. Lipids. – . 9 calories per gram. Protein. Vitamins.

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. ..

They include the following three categories:. Triglycerides. – they include all fats and oils people typically eat.. 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 .
