  1. LIPIDS

  2. Functions: • Rich energy source (2x carbohydrates)

  3. 2. Provides insulation

  4. 3. Provides protection against injury

  5. 4. Facillitates transport of Body fluids 5. Specific roles as vitamins and hormones

  6. I. Structure and Features A. Special properties * insoluble in water * soluble in organic solvents ( butane, acetone, hexanes…)

  7. * All contain Carbon (C) Hydrogen (H) Oxygen (O) (Phosphate is common)

  8. Examples: *fats *waxes *oils

  9. B. Functional Groups Carboxyl C=O OH Methyl H C H H

  10. C. Triglycerides Lipids made of three fatty acids and one glycerol

  11. D. Formula for Fatty acids CH3(CH2)nCOOH Methyl carboxyl Long carbon chain ( “n” can be 3- hundreds)

  12. Example: Stearic acid(Beef Tallow) CH3(CH2)16COOH

  13. E. Dehydration Synthesis/ Condensation Reactions One glycerol and three fatty acids bind together where the glycerol loses 3 “H” molecules and each fatty acid loses an “OH”. Three water molecules and one triglyceride is formed.

  14. glycerol        +        3 fatty acids         =         a fat or oil    +         = R= long carbon chain

  15. F. Van der Walls Forces Harmonic oscillations between C-H bonds, where electrons travel back and forth creating a great force. The more carbon in the chain, the higher the forces. http://antoine.frostburg.edu/chem/senese/101/liquids/faq/h-bonding-vs-london-forces.shtml

  16. G. Lipids are Amphipathic A Hydrophilic (water-loving )polar carboxyl end A Hydrophobic (fear of water) nonpolar methyl end

  17. II. Types of Lipids Fatty acids can be classified as saturated or unsaturated.

  18. SaturatedUnsaturatedAll C filled with Not filled with hydrogen hydrogen contain all C-C        contain at leastsingle bonds             one C=C double High VDW forces Lower VDW forces Longer chains Shorter chains usually solid at           usually liquid at roomroom temperature      temperature(higher melting           (lower melting points)points) most often found        most often found in animals (fat)           in plants (oils) A B

  19. The straighter, saturated Fatty Acids all line-up very close together and stick to each other. These interactions make them less fluid and more solid (more like Fat).

  20. The double bond gives unsaturated fatty acids a bend in the chain. This bend affects the chemical characteristics of unsaturated fatty acids. The bent unsaturated Fatty Acids can't get as close together, so they don't stick as much. They are more fluid (more like Oil).

  21. Unsaturated Saturated

  22. (saturated) (saturated) (unsaturated)

  23. Examples in nature: Goldfish pond Summer /warm * become more saturated * increase temp. cause double bonds to break, membranes become more solid, chains longer, higher melting point, harder to break * 10W40 longer chains, saturated * tropical plants, higher energy, worse for you. Ex. Palm oil, coconut oil Car oil Foods

  24. Winter/ Cold * become unsaturated * decrease temp. cause more double bonds to form, membranes become more liquid, chains shorten, lower melting point, easier to break * 10W30 shorter chains, unsaturated * temperate climate plants, lower energy, healthier for you. Ex. Olive, corn, peanut oil Goldfish pond Car oil Foods

  25. C. Phospholipids are important structural components of cell membranes. Phospholipids are modified so that a phosphate group (PO4-) is added to one of the two fatty acid chains.

  26. D. Waxes Waxes are an important structural component for many organisms, such as the cuticle, a waxy layer covering the leaves and stems of many land plants; and protective coverings on skin and fur of animals.

  27. E. Steroids • All have a similar 4 ring structure • Side groups very

  28. F. Soaps • Salts of fatty acids • Emulsifies not dissolves oil/lipids

  29. Interesting fact

  30. Olestra(also called Olean) is formed by chemical combination of sucrose molecules are much larger than those of ordinary fats, the body's digestive enzymes cannot break them down. *not absorbed into the body. *similar to insoluable fiber *Olean passes through the digestive tract without Added dietary fat /calories.
