Transcription de la présentation
  1. Lipids Biology A/Biochemistry

  2. 4 Types of Macromolecules • Carbohydrates • Main source of energy. Quick source of energy. • Lipids • Alternate source of energy. Long term storage of energy. • Proteins • Build structures such as bone and muscle. • Nucleic Acids • Store and transmit genetic information

  3. Lipids • Functions of lipids in the body: • Store energy • Make up cell membranes • Used as chemical messengers • Made up of the atoms Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O) • Lipids provide about twice as much energy as carbohydrates: • 1 gram of fat = 9 calories of energy.

  4. Lipid Composition http://whttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3245/3061691298_9878e7ac45.jpgw.foodsubs.com/Photos/butter.jpg • 3 Types of lipids include: fats, oils and waxes • Lipids are made of: • 1 molecule of glycerol • 3 molecules of fatty acids

  5. Storing Energy • DEHYDRATION SYNTHESIS allows the body to create lipid molecules for energy storage

  6. Releasing Energy • HYDROLYSIS allows the body to break apart lipids in order to release energy

  7. Glycerol • Glycerol is colorless, odorless and has a sweet taste • It is used in cosmetics, medicines and toothpaste

  8. Fatty Acids • Chains of carbon and hydrogen with a C-O-OH at the end:

  9. Saturated Fatty Acids • Each carbon atom is joined to another carbon atom by a SINGLE bond • Carbon atoms are bonded to the MAXIMUM number of hydrogen atoms

  10. Saturated Fats • Made by animals • Solid at room temperature • Often contain high levels of cholesterol • When eaten in large amounts can clog arteries, leading to heart disease

  11. Unsaturated Fatty Acids • At least two carbon atoms are combined with a DOUBLE bond. • Not all carbon atoms are bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible.

  12. Unsaturated Fats • Made by plants • Liquid at room temperature • Considered a healthier alternative to saturated fats

  13. Saturated vs. Unsaturated Fats

  14. Steroid Lipids • A unique group of lipids that are all made of four “fused” rings with other attachments. • Examples: Cholesterol, Testosterone, Estrogen, Cortisone and Recreational Steroids
