CHEM 250 Lecture Notes - Lecture 22: Carboxylic Acid, Triglyceride, Glycolipid
Document Summary
Store energy with fat cells (cid:8869) plants : starch (cid:8869) animals : fat family of substances that are insoluble in water but soluble in non - polar solvents and solvents of low polarity energy fat - Part of membranes that separate compartments of aqueous solutions from each other. Complex lipids : phospholipids , sphingo lipids and glycolipids. Try, glycerides (cid:8869) glycerol + long-chain fatty acids o. Ch z - ocr ( hz - oh l. Chz - oh l: hz - oh glycerol. Rcooh : fatty acids (cid:8869) unbranched (cid:8869) range from 10 - 20 carbons (cid:8869) even number (cid:8869) no functional group except for double bonds (cid:8869) cis isomers predominate. Chz - 0433 no most common lipid materials. Fats ( animals ) : solid , contains mainly saturated fatty acids. Oils (plants) : liquid , contains mainly unsaturated fatty acids.
