PPT-Lipids and Membranes

Pratt amp Cornely Ch 8 Lipids and Membranes There is a lot of important biochemistry of lipids We wont cover it all The key points for this class have to do with their role in membranes and fat metabolism.

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. Lipids. …. a category of organic compounds that are insoluble in water and have a greasy feel.. Pringles. Calories. Fat. Satur-ated. Fat.

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 .

Lipids are heterogeneous, hydrophobic, compartmentalized in membranes, as droplets of triacylglycerol (TAG), or in lipoprotein (LP) particles or, or protein-bound. . are a large and diverse group of naturally occurring organic compounds that share some general . properties. ..
