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. Essential . macronutrients. Provide . energy. Building blocks for cell membranes. Form many important hormones. Help transport fat-soluble nutrients. Contribute to flavor and texture of . food. . 2003-2004. Lipids. 2003-2004. Large biomolecules that are made mostly of carbon and hydrogen with a small amount of oxygen (sometimes Phosphorous).. Lipids . Monomer subunits . Glycerol and 3 fatty acids. 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. 3.4 What Are Lipids?. 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. ..

Biological role of lipids. :. Lipids are found naturally in all living organisms.. 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. Lipids. : . are a group of naturally occurring substances include a diverse group of organic compounds including . fats, oils, hormones. , and certain components of membranes (. phospholipids. ). All of these substances relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like: chloroform, ether and benzene.. 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. . are a large and diverse group of naturally occurring organic compounds that share some general . properties. .. General Properties of Lipids. Insoluble . in water.. Soluble in non-polar organic solvents . DR. SHAIMAA MUNTHER. LIPIDS CHEMISTRY . The term “lipids” applies to a class of compounds that are soluble in organic solvents (e.g. alcohol and chloroform) and insoluble in water. . Lipids are essential components of every living cell. .
