PPT-Introduction to lipids Lipids

are a diverse group of compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol The most common types of lipid are triglycerides sometimes known as true fats or neutral fats but other important lipids include waxes steroids and cholesterol. 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. :. 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 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. Learning Objectives. Learn what a triglyceride is..

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. Cholesterol. Rich in hydrocarbon. Polar group (usually small). Oleic acid. Lipids serve a wide variety of functions. Vitamin K. Surfactants. Protection. Membrane. components. Insulation. 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. . Examples of Common Lipids. There are many different types of lipids. Examples of common lipids include butter, vegetable oil, cholesterol and other steroids, waxes, phospholipids, and fat-soluble vitamins. The common characteristic of all of these compounds is that they are essentially insoluble in water yet soluble in one or more organic solvents. .
