Document Summary

C, h, o (ratio different from carbs) . E. g. fats, oils, waxes, fatty acids (fa) . Functions: : protect organs (padding, build cell membranes, source of stored energy. Most common lipid in body and diet . Composed of 2 building blocks: : glycerol (backbone, fatty acids (fas) Naming: : glycerol + 1 fa = monoglyceride, glycerol + 2 fas = diglyceride, glycerol + 3 fas = triglyceride, phospholipids. 3 building blocks: : phosphate head group polar, hydrophillic (water soluble, glycerol backbone and iii. Fas tails: hydrophobic (water insoluble, -polar, ie: diglyceride with a phosphate head group, cholesterol found in cell membranes and used to synthesize steroids , steroids. E. g. bile salts, vitamin d, hormones (testosterone, estrogen, etc) : proteins. Consists of c, h, o, n, (also sometimes s) . Functions: : structural materials lomoar cpsd| 987298. E. g. collagen : enzymes, hormones, transporters, antibodies. Basic building blocks of all amino acids: dipeptides.
