CHEM 3050 Lecture Notes - Lecture 41: Ester, Amphiphile, Glycerol

The following statements describe different types of lipids. Fill in the blanks by dragging the appropriate Map term to its correct location. Note: If you answer any part of this question incorrectly, a single red X will appear indicating that one or more of the terms are placed incorrectly. Compounds that contain a fused ring system are called . These have three 6-membered rings and one 5-membered ring. Some of these compounds are found in biological membranes. steroids fatty acids triacylglycerols glycerol phosphoglyceride sphingolipids glycolipids are the building blocks for many lipids, and they generally contain an even number of carbon atoms and an unbranched hydrocarbon chain are formed when a carbohydrate is glycosidically linked to a hydroxyl group of a lipid. Examples include gangliosides and cerebrosides These are also found in biological membranes. are the storage form of l pids, accumulating in adipose tissue, and they can be used as metabolic fuel. These compounds have a polar part, made of three ester groups, and a nonpolar fatty acid tail. are made up of a long-chain amino alcohol joined, either by a glycosidic linkage or a phosphodiester linkage, to a fatty acid. These do not contain . They are abundant in the nervous system When glycerol is esterified to two fatty acids and a phosphoric acid moleculea continued below... is formed. These are found in biological membranes.
