  1. LIPIDS

  2. Characteristics of Lipids • Composed of Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen • Greater than 2:1 ratio of H:O • Includes fats, oils, phospholipids, and cholesterol • Building blocks are fatty acids and glycerol. • Energy storage molecules • Phospholipids part of cell membrane

  3. Fatty Acid Structure • Carboxyl group (COOH) forms the acid. • “R” group is a hydrocarbon chain.

  4. A Representative Fatty Acid

  5. Unsaturated Fatty Acid Saturated Fatty Acid
