Lipids

Lipids

1. Hydrophobic

   • Triglyceride (Fatty Acids)
     • Saturated
       • Carbon surrounded by hydrogen
       • Solid at RT
     • Unsaturated
       • Carbon double bonded to Carbon
       • Liquid at room temperature
     • 3 hydrocarbon tails to glycerol backbone
   • Phospholipid
     • 2 hydrocarbon tails + phosphate group to glycerol backbone
     • Liproteins
     • Phospholipid Bilayer
       • Head is hydrophilic
       • Tail is hydrophobic
   • No Glycerol Backbone
     • Waxes
     • Steroids
       • 4 fused carbon rings + 1 hydrocarbon tail
