LIPIDS
Lipids are hydrophobic molecules composed of C, O, and H. In general, they contain fewer O-H bonds and more C-H bonds than carbohydrates do. If they are
hydrophobic, what will they dissolve in?

Types of Lipids (families)
• Fats• Phospholipids• Steroids• Waxes

Fats
• Most common energy storing molecule• 1 gram of fat stores 38 kJ (9 kilocalories)– (one calorie (cal) = 4.18 J, 1 Cal (1kcal) = 4.18 kJ
• What is a calorie?

Adipose Tissue
• Animals convert excess carbohydrate to fat • Fat molecules are stored in fat droplets in the
cells of adipose tissue• The layer of fat beneath the skin acts as
thermal insulation

Plants and fats
• Plants store fats as oils• Fats and oils are made from two kinds of
molecules: glycerol and fatty acids
![Page 8: LIPIDS Lipids are hydrophobic molecules composed of C, O, and H. In general, they contain fewer O-H bonds and more C-H bonds than carbohydrates do. If](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93964/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Structure of Fatty Acids
• “tail” of a fatty acid is a long hydrocarbon chain (16 -18 carbons long), making it hydrophobic. The “head” of the molecule is a carboxyl group which is hydrophilic.

Most common lipid
• Triglycerides– Glycerol and 3 fatty acids
![Page 10: LIPIDS Lipids are hydrophobic molecules composed of C, O, and H. In general, they contain fewer O-H bonds and more C-H bonds than carbohydrates do. If](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93964/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Saturated vs Unsaturated Fatty Acids
•Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between carbons atoms
•They are saturated because they have the maximum number of H bonds attached to the carbons
•Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more carbon = carbon double bonds
•They have fewer than the maximum number of H bonds attached to the carbons
![Page 11: LIPIDS Lipids are hydrophobic molecules composed of C, O, and H. In general, they contain fewer O-H bonds and more C-H bonds than carbohydrates do. If](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93964/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Poly and mono saturated
• Polyunstaturated fatty acids• Have many C=C bonds
• Monounsaturated fatty acids have one C=C bond
![Page 12: LIPIDS Lipids are hydrophobic molecules composed of C, O, and H. In general, they contain fewer O-H bonds and more C-H bonds than carbohydrates do. If](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93964/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Solid vs liquid
• Straight chains of fatty acids allows them to fit together very closely allowing van der Waals forces along the length
• (Van der Waals forces occur between molecules of the same substance– They include dipole forces, dispersion forces and
hydrogen bonding)• Result is solid consistency at room
temperature
![Page 13: LIPIDS Lipids are hydrophobic molecules composed of C, O, and H. In general, they contain fewer O-H bonds and more C-H bonds than carbohydrates do. If](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93964/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Solid vs Liquid
• Unsaturated fatty acids are commonly found in plant oils
• The bending of the hydrocarbon chains with C=C prevents/reduces van der Waal attractions, causing oils to be liquid at room temperature
(see page 36 in text)

Hydrogenation
• Industrial process that adds H atoms to the C=C bonds of unsaturated fatty acids – rendering vegetable oils to be solid at room temperature
![Page 15: LIPIDS Lipids are hydrophobic molecules composed of C, O, and H. In general, they contain fewer O-H bonds and more C-H bonds than carbohydrates do. If](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93964/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cis and Trans Fatty Acids
The Latin prefixes Cis and Trans describe the orientation of the hydrogen atoms with respect to the double bond.
•Cis means "on the same side" and •Trans means "across" or "on the other side".
•Naturally-occurring unsaturated vegetable oils have almost all cis bonds•Trans fatty acids are carcinogenic

Phospholipids
• glycerol + two fatty acids + a phosphate group
![Page 17: LIPIDS Lipids are hydrophobic molecules composed of C, O, and H. In general, they contain fewer O-H bonds and more C-H bonds than carbohydrates do. If](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56649e8f5503460f94b93964/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic• The fatty acids - hydrophobic, • The phosphate group - hydrophilic • This means that phospholipids are soluble in
both water and oil.

Micelle• When added to water, phospholipids form spheres –
micelles. (see page 38)• The hydrophilic heads dissolve in water, the
hydrophobic tails mix in the centre of the sphere

Membranes and Phospholipids
•Cell membranes - double layer of phospholipids •Fatty acids form “inside”•Phosphate group face “out” on both surfaces.
