Study Notes
Characteristics of Lipids
- Lipids are non-polar molecules, which makes them insoluble in water.
- Lipids are typically hydrophobic, meaning they repel or avoid water.
Location of Lipids in the Human Body
- Lipids can be found in adipose tissue, where they are stored for energy.
- They are also found in cell membranes, where they play a structural role.
Types of Lipids
- Lipids are a type of organic molecule, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
- Examples of lipids include triglycerides, phospholipids, and steroids.
Functions of Lipids in the Human Body
- Lipids serve as a source of energy for the body.
- They also provide insulation, regulate body temperature, and protect organs.
- Lipids are essential for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Examples of Lipids
- Examples of lipids include cholesterol, fats, and oils.
Properties of Lipids
- Lipids are typically non-polar and hydrophobic.
- They are also insoluble in water, due to their non-polar nature.
Synthesis of Lipids
- Lipids can be synthesized in the liver and adipose tissue.
Non-Examples of Lipids
- Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are not examples of lipids.
Main Function of Lipids
- The main function of lipids is to provide energy for the body.
