(266 cards)
What are the example of biomolecules
Carbohydrates
amino acids
lipid- it is the only monomer, the rest are polymers
protein
Class of a heterogeneous group of compounds which are more related by their physical than by their chemical properties
Lipids
Unique characteristic of lipids
Insolubility and invisibility in water
What are the classification of lipids
Simple lipids
complex lipids
Derived lipids
Esters of fatty acids
Simple lipids
Undergoes hydrolysis to yield fatty acids and alcohol
Simple lipids
Fatty acid + alcohol =
Lipids
Example of simple lipids
Fats and oil
Wax
Yields fatty acid, alcohol and other compounds
Complex lipid
Example of complex lipod
Phospholipid and glycolipid
Example of derived lipid
Ecosanoid and steroid
Formed by metabolic transformation of fatty acid
Derived lipid
Both fixed oil and fats are
Triglycerides
Long chain unsaturated fatty acids + glycerol
Fixed oils
Fix oil can be extracted from
Vegetables
Fixed oil is__at room temperature
Liquid
Long chain saturated fatty acids + glycerol
Fats
Fats can be extracted from
Animals
Fats is at @__room temperature
Solid
Long fatty acid chain + high molecular weight alcohol such as ethyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol
Wax
Waxes is at __ room temperature
Always solid
What are the types of phospholipids
Phosphoglycerides
Phosphosphingoside
What are the example or types of phosphoglycerides
Lecithin
cephalins
plasmalogens
What are the contents of phosphoglycerides
Fatty acid
glycerol
phosphate group and
nitrogen compound
