Lipids fats, oils, waxes

Lipids fats, oils, waxes. Function: energy storage C,H,O – but H to O ratio high *Higher proportion of C-H bonds than carbs. Thus, store more energy per unit of mass Nonpolar – Thus, insoluble in H 2 O. Fats - Triglycerides. Glycerol + 3 Fatty acids

  1. Lipidsfats, oils, waxes Function: energy storage C,H,O – but H to O ratio high *Higher proportion of C-H bonds than carbs. Thus, store more energy per unit of mass Nonpolar – Thus, insoluble in H2O

  2. Fats - Triglycerides Glycerol + 3 Fatty acids -3 carbon alcohol -long chains -backbone of fat -carboxyl -saturated or unsaturated

  3. Other Lipids: Steroids – cholesterol, testosterone Phospholipids – cell membranes
