Lipids are poorly soluble in ___, but dissolves in organix solvents like?
Water; benzene, chloroform and dichloromethane (DCM)
Lipids function as a ____ ___?
Metabolic fuel
Lipids are ___ group of compounds synthesized by cell
Heterogenous
What are the classifications of lipids
Simple lipids, complex, amphiatic, derived
Neutral fats and waxes
Simple lipids
Phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids
Complex lipids
Steroids, vitamins and caroteniods
Derived Lipids
Glycerollipids and sphingolipids
Amphipathic lipids
Example of complex lipids
Phospholipids, sphingolipids, glycolipids
Example of simple lipids
Neutral fats and waxes
Example of amphipathic lipids
Glycerollipids and sphingolipids
Example of derived lipids
Steroids, vitamins and caroteniods
These are small molecules that tend to associate through noncovalent forces
Amphipathic lipids
Tends to form surface monolayers, bilayers, micelles, or vesicles when in contact with water
Amphipathic lipids
Smallestt unit of lipids
Fatty acids
Single bonded fatty acids and solid at room temperature
Saturated fatty acids
Double bonded fatty acids and liquid at room temperature
Unsaturated fatty acids
A type of fatty acid that reacts with NaOH producing soaps
Unsaturated fatty acids
Alkali metal salts of fatty acids contain
10-18 carbon atoms called soaps
These are good wetting agent/emulsifying agent/cleaning agent
Soap
What can you form with soap?
Forms insoluble salts with metal ions like Ca+2 and Mg+2 ions
These ions are present in?
Hard water
What do you call the precipiates formed in hard water?
Scum
Development of synthetic detergents or synders solved the problem of ??
scum formation with soap
