Study Notes
Lipid Classification and Characteristics
- Waxes are organic compounds related to fatty acids, insoluble in water, but soluble in fat solvents.
- Esters of fatty acids with glycerol are called triglycerides.
Structure and Formation of Lipids
- Triglycerides are formed of glycerol and 3 fatty acids, making them triesters.
- Simple lipids are formed of glycerol and fatty acids.
- Compound lipids are formed of simple lipids and other non-lipid parts.
Types of Lipids
- Lipids are a category of biomolecules that include fats, oils, waxes, and related compounds.
- Simple lipids are composed of glycerol and fatty acids.
- Compound lipids are formed of simple lipids and other non-lipid parts, such as phospholipids (lipid and phosphate groups) and glycolipids (lipid and carbohydrate components).
- Derived lipids are substances derived from simple lipids and compound lipids by hydrolysis, including fatty acids and glycerol.
- Lipo-proteins are a category of lipids that combine lipid and protein components.
Fats and Oils
- Fats and oils are types of triglycerides that differ in their melting points, with fats being solid at room temperature and oils being liquid.
