13.1 What are lipids?
Family of substances that are insoluble in water but soluble in nonpolar solvents and solvents of low polarity
Defined in terms of properties
![Page 3: Chapter 13 Lipids](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816223550346895dd24fee/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Classification of Function
3 roles Storage energy within fat cells Part of membranes that separate
compartments of aqueous solutions Serve as chemical messengers
Storage Important in animals Use fats for storage
Glycogen Greater amount of energy
9 Kcal/g

Membrane ComponentLipids lack water solubilityThe body needs insoluble
compounds for membranes that separate aqueous solutions
Derives from smaller polar groups than alkane like portions
Nonpolar provide hydrophobic part

MessengersPrimary messenger delivers
signals from one part of body to anotherSteroid hormones
Secondary messenger meditates hormonal responseprostaglandins and
thromboxanes

Classification by Structure
4 groupsSimple lipids
Fats and waxesComplex lipidsSteroidsProstaglandins, thromboxanes,
and leukotrienes

13.2 What are structures of Triglycerides?
TriglycerideAnimal fats and plant oilsTriesters of glycerol and long
chain carboxylic acids called fatty acids
![Page 8: Chapter 13 Lipids](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816223550346895dd24fee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Even number of acidsAka triacylglycerols3 groups of glycerol are esterifiedComplex mixturesMost cases 2 or 3 different fatty
acids are presentHydrophobic character is caused
by long chainEsters are buried in nonpolar
environment which makes them insoluble

Fatty acidsPractically all unbranched
carboxylic acids10 to 20 carbosnEven # of carbons
Cis isomer predominates Mono and diglycerides
Not infrequentLatter two sides
1 or 2 OH groups are esterified

13.3 What are properties of Triglycerides? Fats
A mixture of triglycerides containing a high proportion of long chain, saturated fatty acids
OilsA mixture of triglycerides
containing a high proportion of long chain, unsaturated fatty acids or short chain, saturated fatty acids
![Page 11: Chapter 13 Lipids](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816223550346895dd24fee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Physical StateFats are generally solids at room
temperatureFats from plants and fish are
liquidsLiquid fats are oilsSolid fats are mainly saturated
fatty acidsVegetable oil has high amounts of
unsaturated fatty acidsEssential fatty acids
The body needs but can’t synthesize
![Page 12: Chapter 13 Lipids](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816223550346895dd24fee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Most oils contain large amounts of unsaturated fatty acids
Coconut oil has a small amountPolyunsaturated fatty acids have
more than one double bondPure fats and oils are colorless,
odorless, and tastelessTo gain taste substances must be
added
![Page 13: Chapter 13 Lipids](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56816223550346895dd24fee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
HydrogenationEasy to convert unsaturated
liquids and oils to solidsDon’t hydrogenate all double
bonds It will become too solid
This is the source of trans fatty acids

SaponificationBase promoted hydrolysis of fats
and oilsProduce glycerol and a mixture of
fatty acids called soap It is the oldest known chemical
reaction
