Lipids with a glycerol backbone, fatty acid tails, and a polar head group, making them amphipathic.

A class of phosphoglycerides where a phosphate group links glycerol to an alcohol (e.g., choline, ethanolamine).

Sphingophospholipid formed by combining ceramide with phosphorylcholine.

A class of lipids with a sphingosine backbone, a fatty acid, and a polar head group.

Genetic disorders resulting from deficiencies in enzymes that break down sphingolipids.

A glycerophospholipid present in inner mitochondrial membranes, crucial for ETC function.

An ether glycerophospholipid with potent effects on platelets, inflammation, and bronchoconstriction.

Ether glycerophospholipids abundant in nerve and heart tissues.

Esters of glycerol with three fatty acids; the main form of fat storage in animals.

Triglyceride with three identical fatty acids.

Triglyceride with different fatty acids.

Fats provide twice the energy of glucose.

Vitamins A, D, E, and K; carried by dietary fats.

Complex lipids with a phosphate group; major cell membrane components.

Phospholipids with both hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-fearing) parts.

Glycosphingolipids are primarily found in the outer leaflet of cell membranes, particularly abundant in nerve tissues.

Cerebrosides are glycosphingolipids composed of a ceramide molecule attached to a single sugar molecule (glucose or galactose).

Gangliosides are complex glycosphingolipids containing oligosaccharides and one or more sialic acids (N-acetylneuraminic acid).

Gangliosides are predominantly found in nerve tissues, including brain ganglia and gray matter.

Tay-Sachs disease is caused by a deficiency in the enzyme beta-hexosaminidase A, which results in the buildup of GM1 ganglioside.

Gaucher's disease arises due to a deficiency in the enzyme beta-glucosidase, leading to an accumulation of glucocerebroside.

Krabbe's disease is caused by a lack of the enzyme beta-galactosidase, resulting in the build-up of galactocerebroside.

Nieman-Pick disease is characterized by a shortage of the enzyme sphingomyelinase, causing sphingomyelin accumulation.
