Lipids
Lipids functions
-
Phospholipid - 2 fatty acids, glycerol and a phosphate group( the phosphates hydroxyl group binds to carboxyl group)
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
Macromolecules are made up of glycerol and fatty acids
A triglyceride is a glycerol and 3 fatty acids
-
-
Fats
-
Unsaturated
-double bonds between carbons
The more unsaturated the more unlinear it is
Triglycerides with 2 or more unsaturated tails
-
Phospholipids
Consists of a glycerol, 2 fatty acids and a phosphate
When the phosphate binds to the glycerol it undergoes esterfication between the hydroxyl group of a glycerol and hydroxyl group of the fatty acid
Esterfication is the formation of ester bonds in a condensation reaction between carboxyl groups and carboxyl groups
