Lipids 1. What is your macromolecule made of? List element names and/or other molecules. a. Lipids are mostly composed of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen. Other elements‚ such as nitrogen and phosphorus can be found also. Molecules found in lipids include fats‚ waxes‚ sterols‚ and fat-soluble vitamins. 2. Include 2 examples of your macromolecule and their purpose in your body. a. An example of a lipid is steroids. Steroids are taken to increase the hormone testosterone‚ which helps

Characterization of Saponifiable Lipids and Characterization & Isolation of Complex Lipids Jan Kevin Roxas‚ Nashiba Samad‚ Erickson Santos Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Lipids building blocks of different organic material that are water insoluble. This can be divided into simple and complex lipids that have several forms like waxes‚ triacylglycerols‚ phosphoacylgylcerols‚ sphingolipids‚ eicosanoids‚ isoprenoids and many other. To identify‚

Fats‚ waxes‚ monoglycerides‚ and triglycerides are all types of lipids. Triglycerides are a main form of energy for both plants and animals. Triglycerides are broken down into 3 fatty acid chains. Each fatty acid chain is further broken down into multiple groups of Acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA molecules go through the citric acid cycle and the electron transport chain. 12 ATP are formed from each Acetyl CoA molecule. Carbon chains that are saturated with hydrogen atoms Chains are straight and

Lipids Lipids don’t dissolve in water contains mostly C‚H‚O (lower ratio of oxygen than do carbohydrates Types: Triglycerides‚ Waxes‚ Phospholipids‚ Sterols Triglycerides: contain glycerol molecule with three fatty acids attached‚ glycerol forms backbone different triglycerides are formed by various fatty acids that attach. Types of triglycerides: Saturated Fat‚ Unsaturated Fat‚ Monounsaturated Fat‚ and Polyunsaturated Fat Saturated Fat: all carbons are saturated with hydrogens there

Lipids are made up of carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen (phospholipids also contain phosphate) and are found in a wide variety of organisms from bacteria to eukaryotes where they perform a wide variety of useful functions. This essay will expand on these functions to describe the role of lipids. There are several types of lipid including triglycerides‚ steroids‚ waxes and phospholipids. Triglycerides are made up of three fatty acids combined with glycerol by an ester linkage meaning they are predominantly

The Biological Importance of Lipids Lipids are organic compounds found in all types of plant and animal cells. They always contain carbon‚ hydrogen and oxygen‚ however the relative amount of oxygen is less than the amount of carbohydrates in lipids. Lipids are polymers and the long chains of repeating units are joined together in a condensation reaction where water is also produced. The most common types of lipids are triglycerides‚ phospholipids and waxes. Triglycerides are formed by three fatty

The Chemistry of Lipids Experiment #8 Objective To observe the solubility of lipids in polar and nonpolar solvents and to compare saturated and unsaturated fats in their chemical reaction with bromine. The percent fat in a food will be determined by extraction of the fat and weighing it. Introduction Lipids‚ by definition‚ are natural substances that do not mix with water but dissolve in organic solvents. There are several classes of lipids‚ including: fatty acids‚ waxes‚ triacylglycerols
