Document Summary

Chapter 6 - lipids, membranes, and the first cells. Lips are a diverse group of hydrophobic molecules: fat or triacylglycerol: made from glycerol and 3 fatty acids. The biological importance is that fat stores energy. Phospholipids: made of 2 fatty acids and glycerol. Their importance is that they are major components of all cell membranes. The importance is the managing of hormones: an ester linkage is the covalent bond formed by a condensation reaction between a carboxyl group and a hydroxyl group. Ester linkages join fatty acids to glycerol to form a fat or phospholipid. Membrane structure: a lipid bilayer is created when two sheets of lipid molecules align. The hydrophilic heads one acc layer face the surrounding solution while the hydrophilic tails face one another inside the bilayer.
