PPT-Concept 3.4: Lipids are a diverse group of hydrophobic mole

Lipids do not form true polymers The unifying feature of lipids is having little or no affinity for water Lipids are hydrophobic because they consist mostly of hydrocarbons which form nonpolar covalent bonds. 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. 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. . 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. Pratt & . Cornely. , . Ch. 8. Lipids and Membranes. There is a lot of important biochemistry of lipids.. We won’t cover it all!. The key points for this class have to do with their role in membranes and fat metabolism. Must: Be able to explain the terms hydrophilic and hydrophobic. Should: Be able to compare the properties of methane and water. Could: Be able to explain the differences in the properties of methane and water. CHAPTER 10. UNIT. TARGETS.

The shape of the lipid determines the structural features of the . aggregate. P. acking at bilayer edges is crowded, so bilayers merge their edges to form vesicles. Use . the coefficients to predict the amount of reactant consumed or product formed. The ratio of the coefficients is a ratio of the moles taking part in a reaction..
