  1. Chemistry B11 Chapter 21 Lipids

  2. Lipids • - Family of bimolecules. - They are not defined by a particular functional group, thus they have a variety of structures and functions. - They are soluble in organic solvents but not in water (nonpolar). - They contain many nonpolar C—C and C—H bonds and few polar bonds resulting in their water insolubility.

  3. Lipids Lipids 1. Store energy: fat cells 2. Chemical messengers: find in nerve fibers and hormones. 3. Parts of membranes: insoluble in water

  4. Store energy & Insulation Cell membrane Chemical messenger Cell membrane Pain, fever, inflammation Lipids 1. Simple lipids: (Waxes, Fats & Oils) 2. Complex lipids (Glycerophospholipids) 3.Steroid (Cholesterol & steroid hormones) 4. Prostaglandins

  5. Fatty acids Fatty acids are: • Long-chain unbranched carbon attached to a carboxyl group. • Typically 12-18 carbon atoms. • Insoluble in water. • Saturated or unsaturated. Cis

  6. Saturated and unsaturated Fatty acids Saturated fatty acids are solids at room temperature. Packed together  Maximum London dispersion forces Unsaturated fatty acids are liquids at room temperature. Can not pack together  London dispersion forces 

  7. Fatty acids • The human body is capable of synthesizing most fatty acids from carbohydrates or other fatty acids. • Humans do not synthesize sufficient amounts of fatty acids that have more than one double bond. • More than one double bond fatty acids are called essential fatty acids and they must be provided by the diet.

  8. Ester bond Fatty acid Long-chain alcohol Waxes • are found in many plants and animals (or humans). • In plants, they help prevent loss of water and damage from pests. • In humans and animals, provide waterproof coating on skin and fur. Wax is an ester of saturated fatty acid and long chain alcohol.

  9. Waxes For example, shown below is the formation of spermaceti wax, isolated from the heads of sperm whales.

  10. Carnauba Beeswax Coating Jojoba Lanolin from wool lotions

  11. Triacylglycerols (Triglycerides) Triacylglycerols are: • Fats and oils (are stored in the body). • Triesters of glycerol. • Produced by Fischer esterification. • Formed when the hydroxyl groups of glycerol react with the carboxyl groups of fatty acids.

  12. Esterification glycerol three fatty acids triacylglycerol + 3H2O Acid

  13. OH CH2 CH OH G L Y C E R O L CH2 OH Fatty acid Fatty acid Fatty acid Triacylglycerols (Triglycerides) Glycerol Produced by esterification of glycerol (a trihydroxyl alcohol).

  14. Triacylglycerols (Triglycerides) Fat: is a triacylglycerol that is solid at room temperature. Made by more saturated fatty acids (Saturated triacylglycerols). Meat, milk, butter and cheese (animal sources). Oil: is a triacylglycerol that is liquid at room temperature. Made by more unsaturated fatty acids (Unsaturated triacylglycerols). Corn, cotton seed, safflower and sunflower (plant sources). Both are colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

  15. H H H H Ni _C=C_ + H2→ _C_C_ H H Hydrogenation • Hydrogen adds to the double bonds of unsaturated fats (using transition metal catalyst such as Ni). • Melting point is increased. - Liquid oils are converted to semisolid fats.

  16. 1- Hydrogenation Ni + 3H2glyceryl Trioleate (triolein) glyceryl tristearate (tristearin)

  17. 2- Hydrolysis Triacylglycerols are hydrolysis (split by water) in the presence of strong acid or lipase (digestive enzyme). + 3H2O O H C H 2 C H O H 3HO + H+ or Lipase C H O H 2

  18. 3- Saponification • Is the process of forming “soaps” (salts of fatty acids). • Is the reaction of a fat with a strong base (NaOH). • Splits triacylglycerols into glycerol and the salts of fatty acids. • With KOH or the oils that are polyunsaturated gives softer soaps (liquid soaps). • Name of soap gives the source of the oil. Like coconut or avocado soap

  19. 3- Saponification (Basic Hydrolysis) + 3NaOH Heat + 3 “soap” Salt of fatty acid

  20. G L Y C E R O L O Fatty acid CH3 P O O Fatty acid + N HO – CH2 _ CH2 CH3 O_ Amino alcohol CH3 phosphate Interact with both polar and nonpolar substances. 1. Most abundant lipids in cell membranes (semipermeable). 2. Combine with less polar triglycerides and cholesterol to make them soluble. Glycerophospholipids Choline Polar part (polar head) and nonpolar part (nonpolar tail)

  21. Steroids Steroids have: • A steroid nucleus which is 4 carbon rings. • Attached groups that make the different types of compounds. • No fatty acids. steroid nucleus

  22. Cholesterol Cholesterol: • Is the most abundant steroid in the body. • Insoluble in water (need a water soluble carrier). • Has methyl CH3- groups, alkyl chain, and -OH attached to the steroid nucleus.

  23. Cholesterol Cholesterol: • Is obtained from meats, milk, and eggs. • Is synthesized in the liver from fats, carbohydrates and proteins. • Is needed for cell membranes, brain and nerve tissue, steroid hormones, and Vitamin D. • Clogs arteries when high levels form plaque. • No cholesterol in vegetable and plants. At artery clogged by cholesterol plaque Gallstones form in gallbladder

  24. Steroids Steroid hormones are: Chemical messengers in body Sex hormones Testosterone & androsterone in males Estrogen & progesterone in females Estrogen Female sex hormone Testosterone (androgen) Male sex hormone

  25. Triacylglycerols Lipoproteins Water-soluble form of lipids (soluble in blood) Spherical particles Polar surface and nonpolar inner Transporting lipids through the bloodstream to tissues where they are stored, Used for energy, or to make hormones.

  26. VLDL Liver Heart and muscles Fat storage cells Energy Intestine and elimination HDL LDL Lipoproteins VLDL: very-low-density lipoprotein Triglycerides and Cholesterol LDL:low-density lipoprotein (bad Cholesterol) Cholesterol HDL:high-density lipoprotein (good Cholesterol) Cholesterol Recommended levels are: HDL > 40 mg/dL, LDL < 100 mg/dL, total serum cholesterol < 200 mg/dL. Chylomicrons Triglycerides and Cholesterol

  27. Carbohydrate Phospholipid bilayer Nonpolar Polar Cell Membrane Semipermeable: nutrients can enter and waste products can leave. Fluid mosaic model
