Document Summary
Phosphate added to your sugar in place of a hydroxyl group: amino sugars. When you substitute amino group in place of the oh hydroxyl group. Aggregate away from water and this is due to the non polar covalent bonds formed in lipids. Functions of lipids: fats and oils. Capture energy from sunlight (most are plants: steroids and fatty acids. Important for forming the hormones and also vitamins: insulation & protection. The myelin sheeth (surrounds nerves) is made of a lipid. Multiple sclerosis attacks this sheeth: brown fat/general fat. This is modified with this because the mitochondria don"t make. Atp, they make heat instead: waxes & oils. Basic structure of lipids involves tri-glyceride synthesis: this involves most fats and oils, you can store lots of energy in these bonds. A tri glyceride is 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol. A glycerol is a 3 carbon molecule with 3 hydroxyl (oh) groups associated.
