The Structure & Function of Lipids
• Lipids - macromolecules that do not dissolve in water, such as fats, oils, steroids
• used for: » long-term nutrient storage » insulation » cushioning of internal organs » hormones to send messages around
body » important part of cell membrane (mb)

The Structure & Function of Lipids
1 g fat = 2.25 x energy as 1 g carbohydrate

The Structure & Function of Lipids
• fat molecules have 3 branched structure = triglyceride
Long chains of C-H makes fatty acids non-polar

The Structure & Function of Lipids
• glycerol always has the same structure but fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated

The Structure & Function of Lipids
Saturated : all bonds between carbons are single - solid at room temp - eg. butter

Unsaturated: at least 1 bond is double (note what a double bond does to the shape of the fatty acid) - liquid at room temp - eg.Vegetable oil

Trans Fats
![Page 12: The Structure & Function of Lipids · The Structure & Function of Lipids • Lipids - macromolecules that do not dissolve in water, such as fats, oils, steroids • used for: »long-term](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022021520/5b7b30fe7f8b9aa74b8c1220/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Unsaturated fats can be Hydrogenated (adding hydrogen) to make them (i) solid at room temperature & (ii) have a longer shelf life-unfortunately they often become Trans-fats in the process

Phospholipids• key component of cell membranes • 1 glycerol + 2 fatty acid chains + 1 phosphate group • phosphate end is polar and water-soluble, fatty acid
end is non-polar

Steroids (Sterols)• carbon-based 4-ring structure • used to make hormones such as estrogen
and testosterone

Waxes• long-chain fatty acids linked to alcohols/
carbon rings • suitable as water-proof coating for plant
leaves, animal feathers, etc.
