- - - - Water hating
    - - Water loving
    - - The hydrophilic heads
        interact only with the water
        environment
        
        This structure is a major
        component of cell membranes
      - The hydrophobic heads
        interact only with each other
        and not with the water environment
- - - - Which are composed by
        
        Hydrocarbon chain
        
        Methyl group
        
        Acid group
      - Which are formed by
        Dehydration syntesis
      - Which can be
        
        Saturated,
        made only by
        single bonds
        
        Unsaturated,
        made by one or more
        double bonds
        
        Trans fatty acids,
        in which 2 hydrogens are on the opposite sides of the double bond
        
        they are hydrogenated oils
        
        they can be found
        in processed foods
        
        Properties
        
        High shelf-life
        
        High melting point
        
        their consumption can cause
        cardiovascular diseases
- - - - Estrogen
      - Vitamin D
      - Testoterone
