Document Summary

Tags are used for energy storage (fats and oils) Phospholipids are the structural components of biological membranes. Glycolipids and lipoproteins are used for cell to cell communication. Esters are formed between an acid and an alcohol, anhydrides are formed between two acids, both are condensation reactions. Animal fat is normally found in solid form - high melting point and low unsaturation, while plant oil is normally found as liquid - low melting point and high unsaturation. Phosphoric acids is a triprotic acid that can form 3 bonds (either phosphate esters for phosphoanhydride bonds), the negative charge of the phosphoric acid group can make molecules more water soluble (polar) Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylglycerol are the classes of phospholipids, they can differ through the fatty acid chains: phospholipids can aggregate into micelles, bilayers or vesicles because of their properties. Most naturally occurring sugars are d sugars: a sugar with n chiral carbon atoms has 2n stereoisomers (same molecular formula)
