Document Summary

Lipids review study questions: what are the three primary functions of lipids, energy stores. Signaling molecules: briefly describe the advantages of storing fats (versus carbohydrates) for atp production. The carbon atoms of fats are more reduced than those of carbohydrates. Therefore more oxidation (atp-yielding) reactions take place in their oxidation to co2 i. e. fats yield more atp per c atom upon oxidation. Fats are hydropho(cid:271)i(cid:272) a(cid:374)d do(cid:374)"t ha(cid:448)e asso(cid:272)iated water of hydration. Therefore, less cellular volume is required to store an equivalent amount (dry weight) of fat than carbohydrate: draw the structure of a triacylglycerol (use r to indicate the structure of fatty acids). Identify the most common biological function of triacylglycerols and indicate the structural features of these molecules that make them appropriate for this role. For each lipid, indicate its primary biological function and how its structure is appropriate for this function. Triacylglycerols: energy storage almost fully reduced so high yield of atp; hydrophobic; no associated water.
