Study Notes

Vitamins A, D, E, and K are fat-soluble vitamins, requiring lipids for absorption
Lipids are classified into simple and complex types
Simple lipids are esters of fatty acids and alcohols
Triacylglycerol (TAG) is a simple lipid consisting of glycerol and three fatty acids, functioning as the main storage form of fatty acids and chemical energy
Triacylglycerol is insoluble in water but soluble in fat solvents and exists in solid (fats) or liquid (oils) form depending on fatty acid composition
Lipids are also classified as saturated, unsaturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and essential fatty acids
Essential fatty acids are not produced by the body and must be obtained from the diet, with linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid being essential for humans
Saturated fatty acids are usually derived from animal sources, solid at room temperature, and have no double bonds, such as palmitic acid, while monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids are typically derived from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature
Sources of fatty acids include saturated (milk, cheese, butter) and unsaturated (olives, avocados) forms, with polyunsaturated and omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids having particular health benefits
Complex lipids include phospholipids, glycolipids, and other complex lipids
Phospholipids, such as lecithin, contain a phosphate group and are essential for constructing biological membranes and functioning as a carrier for triglycerides and cholesterol in the plasma
Glycolipids, found mainly in the myelin sheath and red blood cell membranes, act as cell membrane receptors and provide recognition properties.
