Lipids are a group of organic compounds that make up 18-25% of one’s body mass. Incorporate your knowledge of trans-fatty acids and the adverse effects of trans-fatty acids on the body and write a 3 - 4 page paper (double-spaced) that includes the following topics: Discuss the various types of lipids found in the body

Biochemistry GRT1 Lipids are molecules that are not soluble in water but can be dissolved in non-polar substances such as alcohol or chloroform (Mandal‚ n.d.). Lipid molecules are stored in adipose‚ or fat tissue‚ and can be broken down in our bodies to form an energy called ATP. To do so‚ the lipid molecule is dissected into its base pieces‚ glycerol and fatty acids. Each of the fatty acids is then broken down into two-carbon pieces and acetyl CoA is formed from each carbon

The Five Major Compounds That Make Up the Human Body The human body is one of the most complex and fascinating things on this planet. There are five major groups of compounds that compose the human body. These are carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ proteins‚ nucleotides‚ and water. These compounds are all very important to humans and without them humans would not be able to survive. Compounds have many functions that encourage a human cell and a human body to function. Compounds are pure substances

------------------------------------------------- Lipid Structures of some common lipids. At the top are cholesterol[1] and oleic acid.[2] The middle structure is a triglyceride composed of oleoyl‚ stearoyl‚ and palmitoyl chains attached to a glycerol backbone. At the bottom is the common phospholipid‚ phosphatidylcholine.[3] Lipids constitute a broad group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats‚ waxes‚ sterols‚ fat-solublevitamins (such as vitamins A‚ D‚ E‚ and K)‚ monoglycerides

Lipids can be classified into four groups which are -fats‚ oils‚ and waxes‚ -compound lipids‚ -steroids‚ and -derived lipids. Various experiments

triglyceride? Trimyristin is a simple triglyceride because it has the same one type of fatty acid (myristic acid) in all three positions linking to the glycerol molecule. 2. Trimyristin is soluble in ether and insoluble in acetone. Which part of the lipid molecule is responsible for this physical property‚ the glycerol or the fatty acid? Explain the observed solubility properties of trimyristin. The fatty acids are responsible for its solubility in ether and insolubility in acetone. The fatty acids
