Carbohydrates and Lipids Practice-T.

Lipids Overview - Fill in the Blanks Lipids are a class of organic molecules in foods which includes fats and animal oils. Fat has the function of long-term storage of energy in the body. The building block of lipids is generally glycerol and fatty acid. Depending on fatty acids, They are classified as saturated and unsaturated fats. Saturated fats are unhealthy fats like butter. Saturated fats are solid and room temperatureThe unsaturated fats are healthy, and include oils. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature.Besides food, we observe different types of lipids in the organisms. For example, we observe phospholipidsin cell membrane. When phospholipids are added to water, they self-assemble into a bilayer, with the hydrophobictails pointing toward the interior. The structure of phospholipids results in a bilayer arrangement found in cell membranes. They are structurally similar to fats, except that the third fatty acid of a lipid molecule is replaced by a phosphate groupLastly, steroidsare lipids without fatty acids. They all have the same backbone made up of carbon rings. They are important in membrane structure and in metabolism.
